Ridgeview Rundown
Week of October 13th, 2014
This Week's News
Ridgeview Walking Trail: Our rescheduled Volunteer Day will be Saturday, November 1st at 11:00. This was the first day we could get all of the many variables worked out. Here is the flier I sent out to parents. Please include it in your weekly communication to parents as well.
Leader in Me Vision: With input from BLT, we decided this year we will focus on student-driven, passion-driven service learning projects. As your students decide how they want to serve, please share your classroom or grade level plan with your BLT rep so we can make plans at our next meeting.
iReady Instructional: Nicole is going to assign the students who you recommended on the Google Doc last week so they will be ready to start next Monday, October 13th. All recommended students will participate. We have a few more slots, so if you want to add a student, please email me directly rather than adding it to the Google Doc.
Chromebook Insurance: If you have a student who cannot pay for the Chromebook insurance due to family hardship, let Laura know. We may be able to help out.
Reminder: United Way Auction: United Way week is the week of October 13- 17th. We are excited that we will bring back the annual staff auction! The auction will be October 15th. Be thinking of how you can help us raise money for the United Way. On the 15th, there will be a “silent auction” set up in the teacher workroom or lounge. We are asking for staff to donate items for the auction. You can go together as a team or individually.
Items could include things like: certificate for home baked goodies, certificate for home cooked meal, jeans coupons, goodie baskets, hand crafted items, certificate for reserved parking spaces, recess coverage, Starbucks drinks, sports items, gift cards…etc…be creative and have fun! All donation ideas/certificates/items need to be turned into Maia or Renee by Monday, October 13th. Let us know if you have questions! Maia and Renee
Grade Card Saving Reminder: October 16th at 10:00 a.m. is the deadline for saving grades in PowerSchool.
It Mattered to That One!
