Wilson Weekly Newsletter
January 8 - January 12, 2018
Principal Notes
I hope you've started the new year with a sense of rejuvenation! With the start of a new year, it's a great opportunity to re-evaluate our goals and make changes. My goal for the remainder of the year is to be in classrooms as much as possible. My focus is learning our curriculum, assessments and getting more feedback from you. I really appreciate the input and the 1:1 meetings so far and look forward to the continuation of those.
In the coming months the leadership team is working to develop a school-wide improvement plan for our Title Application and to provide a clear and focused vision for Wilson. They are scheduled for a site visit at Carver Elementary on January 24th to gather more information. They will also be gathering staff feedback and input as well.
Next Monday we have our first all grade level literacy PLC and will meet in the media center. Libby will be presenting the next steps for guided groups. We will be sharing Balance Literacy binders for your convenience and an overall draft of a PD schedule. I've invited Michelle Krell to attend too. This is a great opportunity to share resources and collaborate around our literacy efforts.
Thank you for a very positive and productive week!

Work Injury Hotline: When someone's injured at work....If it's an emergency, call 911. Otherwise, the employee and supervisor should call the SFM Work Injury Hotline (855-675-3501) together. (If no supervisor is available, the employee can call alone.) Do this as soon as possible after you learn of an injury.
Teachers On Call ~ 952-346-1656 and 855-346-1650. They can enter your absence in Aesop if you have trouble getting in to enter it yourself. Remember you can assign a sub to your position if the sub has already agreed to sub for you.
