Shout Outs
Shoutout to Mrs. Higdon for putting on a smile when kids come "into the house" each day -- no matter what's going on. Thank you for reminding me of the importance of work/home balance this week.
Mondays are always hard. Thank you to all those that stepped in and helped out when supervision was low. Safety is definitely a priority, and you are not unnoticed!

Student Surveys: Please plan to discuss this in your grade level PLC this week (3-5 only)
The survey should be administered to 3rd through 12th grade students. SCDE and AdvancED have developed an information website that provides a survey administration training video, an administration guide, sample administration scripts, and other resources. This website can be accessed here: www.advanc-ed.org/scde. Additional details will be provided next week.
As we have learned in the past, attention to and administration of these surveys are critical. It will be important that clear direction, monitoring, and follow-through exists with our faculty and staff members. Please know our team is here to assist you in any way. One Team…One Mission…One Rock Hill! Thanks for all that you do.
Yearbooks
Please remember to email or text Tanner and/or Sara pictures of your class for the yearbook. Six or seven good pictures will fill up your class' page nicely.
