A Special Applause to...
I want to thank you for your flexibility and demeanor with students on Tuesday. Things could not have been smoother. While I am grateful for your efforts during this unexpected event, please know that the Board of Education also recognized your work at their meeting on Wednesday. This community values the care you give to the children of Sycamore. Thank you!

Information for the Staff
Staff Concern Meeting
A few weeks ago I linked a form for staff to begin submitting concerns that need to be addressed in the building (you can see it HERE or search your email by putting Boarding Pass as subject and Staff Concerns as has words in it). We are going to meet on Wednesday, January 29 right after dismissal in the MPR to get started.
You can view all responses by clicking HERE. We are beginning to address concerns. Please know that all concerns will be addressed. If someone has already submitted something you are concerned about, it is not necessary for you to re-submit the same item.
Professional Development Meeting
On Tuesday, we will resume check-ins on Professional Growth Plans. Just a reminder, group 1 will meet in the Media Center, group 2 will meet on the cafe stage, and group 3 will meet in the Old Gym. Not sure which group you are in, click HERE.

Our annual Carnival is coming up soon (Saturday, February 8) and every year we ask staff to donate a gift card to the Staff Gift Card Raffle Basket. If you can donate a gift card, please put it in Beth Bruck's mailbox.
