Happy New Year!!
I hope you have all had a great first week back! I know I have - it was great to spend time and recharge with family and friends - and it is great to be back and see the excitement on our students faces as they returned to school!! You make that happen, with your positive attitudes, greeting our students each day, and showing them how much you care and how happy you are to see them. Thank you!!
Paras - I still have some paras to go over evaluations with. It only takes a few minutes. If you walk by and see me in the office feel free to stop in so that we can get that done. We will do evaluations again in April.
The 100th Day is approaching!! I will be sending out a google form to see what your preferences are in how we will celebrate this year.
Our January movie night is also coming soon! Fliers will go home tomorrow, and I've mentioned it in the parent newsletter. We need all hands on deck for movie night. Paras - you are able to come and to clock in during the night, if you are coming to do a specific job. A sign up sheet for everyone will be in the office next week.
Prek - DRDP Tech is almost up and running. Trisha put her own class in and you are welcome to do that as well. If you are short on time, Carla and I will continue work to get you in.
Due to IDAC training next week, our January staff meeting is cancelled. I will share what we need to discuss through email.
THANK YOU Helen for working on our gift to the board! If you see a board member, make sure to thank them for all the support they have given us as our building has grown and changed.
Happy Friday tomorrow!!
I am Waiting video - great way to teach students what to do when they are waiting!

One Word that will change your life
What's one word that sums up all of your New Year's resolutions? What is one word that drives who you want to be? One word that you can focus on when times get tough or decisions need to be made?
Think about your word. We will go through the process of choosing a word together at the beginning of our pd day. I've chosen my word and it's already made a difference for me! When I need to make a decision or answer an important question, that one word has already given me focus and purpose.
I'm excited to hear what your words are for 2016!!
