New This Year! Meet & Greet in August - Open House in September
Later, on September 24 for Grades PK - 2 and on September 25 for ECSE & Grades 3 - 5, teachers will conduct more formal presentations to parents. This is a time to share classroom expectations, how student goal setting will work, information about Schoology, Morning Meeting, etc. Plan for this time to last about 45 minutes.
Knowing parents will want to conference with teachers, please consider posting a sign-up sheet for parents to let you know they want to meet with you to share the joys of their child.
PBIS Survey - completion deadline Aug. 1, 2018
The PBIS team needs your help understanding your impressions on discipline and any previous experience with PBIS you may have had. To gather this information, the PBIS team is requesting all Teachers and Teacher Assistants to complete this survey by August 1, 2018, so we can use this information to guide our PBIS implementation next year. (This was sent out via email June 28 - please disregard if you've already completed this survey.)
SURVEY:
Welcome Jacob Roseberry!
Please join me in welcoming Baby Roseberry to the world! Born at 6:15 am Tuesday, June 19, 2018, Jacob Truett weighed 7 lbs. 15 oz. Allyson told me he looks just like Abby did when she was born (see cute pictures below). Mother and baby are home and doing well.
