A note from Kris...
"You never know what words you say to a student will change the course of their life. We have been through so many things with our son. You know how serious they have been but he is making good choices now. When I asked him about what helps him keeps him focused on making good choices. This is what he said 'I can see Mrs. Mitzner looking at me in my handcuffs with the police officer and she said to me that it is never too late to make a good decision. Every person is one decision away from a bad one.'...Thank you for helping our son. Letting him know you believed he could turn it around helped him. Hope you continue to say things to help children. I want you to know that you make a difference."
PURPOSE!
Our jobs are INTENSE - but there is no amount of money that could replace the way that you feel when you hear that someone breathes a little bit easier because of something that you did or said.
Thank you for all the ways that you are a difference maker for students & for each other!
Building Open this Saturday!

Aimee Krauss and Nela Montoya for assisting with registration.
Margaret Heichel for scheduling our Dreambox training.
Grade Level Teams---Thank you for the dynamic job of completing your grade level content roadmaps by the set due date!!!!! You are appreciated!!!
Staff Development/School Business - Aesop & Kronos
If you have a half day or full day absence to due staff development or school business it needs to be put in Aesop with the sub assigned if needed, or with no sub needed, whichever the case.
If you are a paraprofessional and you input the time in Aesop, you will not have to be concerned with punching in or out at the staff development or school business event. If the session is in the morning, you would punch when you arrive on campus and punch out at the end of the day, or if it is in the afternoon, you would punch in the morning and when you leave for the session.
If you have questions, please let Leigh Ann know.
