Buffalo Bulletin
Week of September 4 - September 8, 2017
Welcome Back (Take Two)!
I am so thankful to be back in school this week! This week, we will sort of be starting over with our students. But the GREAT news is that we had four days to iron out any kinks in our schedule, so we are starting even stronger this time! I'm looking forward to another fantastic week.
We are having a JEANS WEEK! WE have all been through enough - let's be comfortable this week.
Reminders:
- Please edit this doc if you, as a staff member, have any damage from Harvey
- Please make sure that you have shared this form with your students' families who may need assistance
- Add the public calendar to your Outlook desktop, if you haven't already. This is where we keep up with important dates and deadlines. Here are instructions if you need them for reference.
- Make sure to read The Exchange for district news and information!
- Please get your QR codes posted outside of your classroom. We will begin unofficial (feedback) walk-throughs this week!
- If you need a Ron Clark poster (every classroom should have one posted), I have extras in my office.
- We have a new board in our PLC room called "Building Each Other Up." Each grade level is assigned a color of sticky notes to write on. You are encouraged to write notes of appreciation to anyone at any time and stick them on the board. At the end of every month, I will get those notes to the right people. Also, the grade level who wrote the most notes of appreciation (tallied by color of sticky note) will earn a jeans pass!
- Remember that you are required to nominate two students each grading period for the P2P Learner Award. Do this via email to administration.
- Morning Announcements: Please turn on your live stream at least 5 minutes early to allow everything to load correctly before we begin. Announcements will begin at 8:15 daily.
- Students should complete all parts of their learner profiles by your PLC day next week (week of 9/11-9/15).
- MAP testing window is open!
