Monday Morning Memo - Week 15
12/9/19
Dear Poupard Leaders,
Thank you from Sarah Mead
Hello everyone,
I just wanted to say thank you to each of you for many amazing experiences I had on Friday.I loved the chance to be able to come into each of your rooms, or be out at recess with you and your children.
It was a joy to see all of the amazing things each of you do in your classroom. I want to thank each of you for giving me the opportunity to learn from each of you. We all have our way of connecting with our class, and it was an exceptional opportunity for me to see the many different strengths we all have at Poupard! I could not have done it without your support!
Thank you!
Sarah
MEMSPA Conference
Thank you to everyone that pitched in this past week allowing Angela and myself to attend the Elementary and Middle School Principals Conference. My highlight from the conference was seeing Joe Sanfelippo, the author of Hacking Leadership and Superintendent of Fall Creek School District in Wisconsin. He was an incredible speaker and brought lots of energy to the room. I want to share this experience with you so if you're interested in watching a similar keynote presentation by Joe Sanfelippo, click here.

Class Newsletters
Please share your weekly newsletters with me by "Ccing" me when they are emailed out to families. This allows for me to stay connected with all of the exciting things happening inside of your classrooms.
GES3
Our GES3 meeting dates and deadlines have been established by the team. You can access that information below. It will also be made available on our Poupard Schoology page.
GES3 Dates and Information Page
Walkie Talkie
All Classroom Teachers should have received a Walkie Talkie. Please take it with you when you take your students outside for an extra recess. The office staff will use it to locate individual students, typically for early dismissal.Emergency Information
Please be sure to review all of the emergency information for fire drills and tornado drills inside of your classrooms. We will be doing a sweep to make sure your emergency bags are stocked with everything that necessary and include updated rosters as they become available.
Behavior Referrals
Behavior Referrals must be completed using the Online Behavior Form. Staff must complete the behavior form anytime a student is sent down to the office for a major office referral. Homeroom Teachers and Special Area Teachers are responsible for contacting the family to notify them of any incidents that occurred inside of the classroom. Please call home over an email whenever possible. Personally, I'd recommend sharing anything over 3-4 sentences over a phone call as well.
