Lunch Schedule & Pick Up Times
This is not a 'gotcha' towards anyone in particular just an overall look at the details throughout the day!
*Also please note that we will make an attempt to sync the wall clocks and microwave clocks in all areas of the school but it is best case to always rely on your phone, (fitbit) or computer that way we are sure we are all on the same page!
7 Habits Practice: Private Victory to Public Victory
The Emotional Bank Account is a metaphor for the amount of trust that exists in a relationship. Deposits build and repair trust. Withdrawals break down trust.
Let relationships fall into disrepair.
Think About...
- Are you sincere and consistent in making deposits?
- Do you conscientiously avoid making withdrawals?
- DO you know what constitutes a deposit for a particular person?
Try This...
- Identify an important work or personal relationship that is not as good as you want it to be. What is your Emotional Bank Account balance with this person?
- Describe three things you think this person would consider deposits.
- Describe three things that would be withdrawals.
- Make a plan to repair the relationship through consistent, small deposits.
From the 7 Habits Book
"The little kindnesses and courtesies are so important. Small discourtesies, little forms of disrespect, make large withdrawals. In relationships, the little things are the big things."
New Opportunity to Make A Difference
We will continue tutoring until the funds are depleted so let’s not give any $$ back! This is a great way to invest and improve our B/M/E & SLO IMPACT data, too!
*This could be a big part of your RTI conversation during PLC's on 1/11!
Please publicize to your teachers that this is available and work with your staff to identify those students most in need of tutoring. This can be for any elementary student, however it does not provide transportation.
ZE will look at grades 3-5 (unless there is a data based decision that is a severe red flag for a student in k-2).
