Monday Morning Memo - Week 23
2/11/18 - Black History Month
Dear Poupard Staff,
Happy 100th day of school! I want to place more emphasis on student Respect and Safety as we enter the middle part of the school year which will be addressed during the Emergency Town Hall Meetings this Tuesday. In efforts to address these concern areas, I secured funding for an additional sub each day to run an Alternative Learning Center, similar to a "Respect and Responsibility Room". I'll share the parameters and non-negotiables at our PLC on Feb 26th. If you have any thoughts or suggestions for this space, please don't hesitate to let me know.
The Safe Routes to School Survey Deadline has been extended. Thank you to everyone who has submitted their student surveys for grades (3-5) and travel tallies (K-5)!! Last week, I sent out the necessary links and PDF document to homerooms that still needed to complete the survey. Please have these surveys completed before we take off for Midwinter Break. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
Ali
