Bobcat Bulletin
December 10, 2016
Dear Staff,
Happy last week! My prayer is that you all have a restful and peaceful holiday vacation with your beautiful families. I am so thankful for my friendship with each of you and so grateful for our close and supportive school family.
Let's celebrate!
- The GOTR ran their 5 K! They loved being a part of such a neat group of girls and bonded. Thank you Mayra, Awara and Tania for your time, love and dedication to providing for our girls. What a great memory.
- Amy and Veronica, thank you for pulling together the TOY Drive. You rock and our families are so grateful! Please see Amy if you would like to help or donated. Some items are still needed.
I have a special request. The district has provided each school administrator with a survey to be given to all staff. This survey is very important for my personal and professional growth. I will use the feedback you provide to truly reflect and grow. Please take a few minutes to think on my leadership skills, our school culture and the work we do to teach children to be well rounded. I have linked the survey below. Thank you!
With warm wishes,
Stephenie

Inst. Focus
Trends:
- So proud of our focus and intentionality on Benchmark Testing. I hope you find time to really reflect on how your kids did, have deep conversation with your PLC and give feedback to your students.
- Tighten up on ALT (academic learning time)-pick kids up on time, stick to your daily schedule, and use academic time wisely-every minute is valuable and not to be wasted.
- Please post current standards for ELA, Math, Writing and ELD in an obvious location accessible for all.
Climate/Culture
Trends:
- Big Rocks/Daily Schedule-Posted schedules keep all on track, maintain tight pacing, lower anxiety by beginning with the end in mind.
- I am hearing so many "acts of kindness" happening on campus. Share these with me. I would love to celebrated these student and staff members.
- Great week to do Family/Restorative Circles-Many students need an outlet to share their worries about the holidays/two weeks off. This may not be a "happy" or "exciting" time for some of our students.
