Descanso Elementary Friday Focus
Vol. 20 Jan. 24
Important Info for the Week
Great Kindness Challenge: Let's wear our Be Kind shirts on Monday the 27th to kick off the week. The Gratitude Wall will be in the lunch area. Students can write what they are grateful for on post its and stick them on the wall. I have also made Kindness Banners in which students can write My Random Act of Kindness is ..... We will hang them in the office and Room 6. Last I made Caught Being Kind certificates which I will place in everyone's box to hand out during the week. There will be a table by the office so students can write on the post its and the banners during lunch and recess.
Team Meeting: I will meet with the aides on Wed. from 9:00-9:30 and the teachers on Thursday from 8:30-9:00. We will all design cards to hi-light our Top 5 Strengths. Teachers will also discuss professional goals for the year. I will give you a template by Wednesday.
Chinese New Year Parade: We will have the parade on Friday, Jan. 31st between the first and second lunch. First Lunch 11:45-12:15-- Parade 12:20-12:40-- Second Lunch 12:45-1:15. We will have to adjust our lunch schedules a bit. Cyndi already agreed to make it work in the cafeteria. Let me know if you have a better plan.
Sexual Harassment Training:
Beginning January 1, 2019, California Senate Bill 1343 requires all public and private employers with five (5) or more employees to provide at least 2 hours of sexual harassment training to all supervisory employees.
All employees have been set up in the JPA Learning Library with the training and should be receiving an email with their login and password. If anyone is having trouble logging in they can contact either Lisa Stoffel or Alyssa Stoffel by email. We will use our Feb. 5 staff day to complete it.
Tubs for Comfort Bags: I have seen some comfort bags coming in. Let me know if you need a tub for them. We will take an inventory at the end of the week to determine how many bags Mrs. Laskey's class will need to prepare.
Subs for Assessment: We will have 2 full day subs for ESGI & DRA assessments. Rebecca Kowalski is Feb. 11 and Jayci is Feb. 20th. TK-2 teachers please divide the time between each other and give me a schedule by Feb. 10th.
SAM: Our second round of Student Accountability Meetings will be on March 9 (report cards go home March 4) I thought it was very beneficial to have Cole and Josie in the meetings last time. I will arrange that again.
