Get Whitt it!
If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf.

Team Leaders and PLC leaders...please make sure you share what was discussed this week with your whole team! Lots and lots!
You're awesome...
Please plan on calling each of your students (homeroom class) to check in the week of May 11th. Just an informal "hang in there, we're almost at the end, can you even believe it" kinda call. That may be the last time some of them get to hear your voice as their classroom teacher.
At that time, you can make sure they know when we're emailing the celebration/graduation, etc links, so nobody misses out.
Teacher Appreciation Parade is next week!
How great have the amazon lists been??? You've got MORE goodies coming next week. We are incredibly blessed with our PTA taking such good care of us all!
Final DISTRICT plan for closing us out!
Formalization of our close out plans...
Google Meets during week of May 11 – it is important that teachers continue to be available for their Meet times on May 13, 14, and 15, not because of providing new instruction, rather they will be helping those last few kids who haven’t turned in their work yet and/or need a re-teach. It is important to stay consistent with teacher Google Meet times up through Friday, May 15. Another thought – teachers may want to do a Google Meet from their classroom so that kids can see if one last time.
You will gather up your STUDENT ITEMS May 13-15, when and as you can. Start saving bags now! I'll have a system in the cafe to arrange for you before the 13th, but not before then.
Final Chromebook drop off/stuff pick up will be finalized on Monday. Your TL/PLC leaders should have info for you about when you are filming for celebrations.
Questions? Comments? Ideas?
Advanced Rubrics
- Please have completed by May 1st so you can begin placing students in classes for next year. We also need to get numbers to Joei:)
- Bring your hard copies with you when/if you come to Whitt for the appreciation parade May 4-8, or turn in at a later date.

Shining the Way Awards
Here are the certificates for our Shining the Way Award for the 4th nine weeks (Gratitude and Celebration). I am missing a few teacher nominations so please add your student nomination to the spreadsheet as well as the certificates. I don’t want to miss any Wolves when we create our video for celebrations! Please send this certificate to parents as well as informing them about our Celebrations video!
Notes from the Nurse
I will be available on the "pick up" days to hand out all medications that remain in the clinic.
Next staff meeting May 6th, 3pm
Happy birthday to you!
