Welcome! | 2016 - 17
LV News / 1st Edition 8.23.16
Dear Loma Vista Staff,
It is with great enthusiasm and optimism that I officially welcome each of you to a new school year. This summer, my family and I took our first vacation since Max was born! We stayed in a condo in Oceanside for seven days! I fell even more in love with mother ocean than ever before and grabbed family memories that I will treasure for years to come. I hope that each of you had similar experiences, enjoying time off with those close to your hearts and that you're feeling renewed and energized for what is sure to be a TREMENDOUS year!
Welcome, to our new teammates, Amy, Sharon, Jillian, Sandra and Cindy! We are thankful that you have joined us this year and excited to be working alongside each of you. Welcome back, Leslie Durham! We are so glad that you have returned to the team!
This year, one of my professional goals is to utilize technology in a more meaningful way. I have been having FUN exploring the possibilities that canva.com offers! I have also been diligently organizing my google drive which I often access through the TUSD site! I've learned how to turn words into links - which is MUCH easier than I imagined! Finally, I have learned how to you this AWESOME tool called Smore! You may find that creating classroom or grade level newsletters can be LOTS of fun with this FREE software! I plan to use Smore to communicate celebrations and different things with you this school year! This first edition is housekeeping heavy, as we open the new school year, but this will not be the norm with this newsletter.
I am looking forward to spending the day with you tomorrow. You can access our agenda here.
Cheers - and thanks for any support or tech-tips you can offer me this year!
Katy

Embracing a GROWTH-MINDSET: Let's challenge ourselves to put extra effort into building AWESOME relationships with our students this year! THAT's what they'll remember! YOU are EVERYTHING to them! We can intentionally do this by fostering Responsive Classroom learning environments and celebrating with kids - OFTEN. We can plan specific pathways for that student and this student. Finally, we can do this by maintaining a positive attitude and leaning on one another - as a TEAM - especially when the going gets tough!
....it's going to be an AMAZING year!
