In Case You Missed It:
Friday was so very special! My wish would have been for us to be together, but since that was not possible I want to thank you so much for sending a few of my favorite thing through Instacart, flowers, drive-by shoutout, strawberries, cards, emails, texts, and phone calls for National Principal's Day. You sure know how to make someone feel special!
We had lots of fun at our BINGO Happy Half- Hour on Thursday. Congratulations to our winners Christina Reed, Anna Whalen, Sarah Yoder, Joanna Perkins, Evan Roush, & Ellen Duncan! We have two more games scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday at 4pm. We'd love for you to drop in if you can for Kahoot Trivia and/or Bingo next week just for a laugh, and to reconnect with your school family.
I'm so proud of our team. I can't imagine trying to go through this history in the making event with anyone other than each of you.
We have:
- restructured how we "do school"
- signed out almost 400 laptops to families
- assisted several families obtain wifi so children were able to continue to learn
- assisted the district in supplying over 40,000 meals to children in Lee Co
- given students opportunities to continue to learn and stay in contact with trusted adults in our school
- made (I don't even know how to count) phone calls, emails, texts, and social media posts to keep families connected
- registered our 8th grade students for high school classes
- created a website for 5th grade families to virtually tour and learn about their new school, prepared for sign ups for our 6th and 7th grade exploratory classes
- created a way to place students in advanced classes without having 4th quarter grades or an EOG test
- provided virtual club meetings (SGLA, Sweet 16, and Yearbook)
- hired two staff members for next year and recommended one more for hire
