Sipley School Weekly Howl
Week of Monday, February 8, 2016
There's no thrill in easy sailing when the skies are clear and blue, there's no joy in merely doing things which any one can do. But there is some satisfaction that is mighty sweet to take, when you reach a destination that you thought you'd never make.
Thursday. February 11
Student dismissal is at 11:40 on Thursday. Teachers can take an hour lunch. All teachers need to be in the building from 12:45, until the end of conferences. This is a professional development day.
2nd grade is going to meet with Cyndi and Angela from 12:50 - 1:35 for their PLC.
4th grade is going to meet with Cyndi and Angela from 1:40 - 2:25 for their PLC.
Michelle and Natalie are meeting with Greg at DAC from 1:30 - 2:00 to prepare for their Board presentation.
I am a firm believer that starting every parent-teacher conference with a personal and positive comment about each child is important. It shows that you know something about the child that is beyond the walls of the school and it starts off your P/T conference on a positive note. I am asking for you to use this time to pause and write a personal and positive comment about each child that you will open your P/T conference with. Please send me your comments for each child. With your help, this will help me gain another perspective on each child.
Watch this powerful video. Show it to your students. Think about taking the pledge at the end of the video. If you and your class takes the pledge, please let me know.
