Staff Memo

jan. 5 PTO Open Forum and HSE21
FYI, here is what went out in a Skylert to our families:
On (date/time/location) our team from central office will be joining us to talk more about how HSE 21 and the 1:1 iPad roll-out will work for K-4 elementary grades. Please join us. If you are unable to attend please watch this quick video and visit the links below to learn more about our HSE 21 initiative.
Please Welcome Marie Valentine
Here is what she says about herself: " I'm from Chicago (yes, a Bears fan) and married my husband, Craig, in Carmel, IN. I love to exercise, be outside, and be with my family. I speak Spanish and am excited to work with the little kiddos this semester!"
Marie is innovative and energetic. She brings strong collaboration skills as well as eagerness to support HSE21 using technology.
Please give her a big CRES welcome. Her first official day is Tuesday although she does plan to pop in on Monday to get herself oriented to her new space.
Growth Mindset Thoughts
The book takes Carol Dweck's, Arthur Costa's, and Daniel Pink's research and turns it into classroom practice. Included are ideas for explicitly teaching five research-driven habits of mind. The book includes instructional language (always good), charts, teaching tips, and more.
You can go to Amazon to read reviews. The idea about joyful, independent growth caught my eye. Melissa and I are going to be reading this book in hopes that it will support our journey into growth mindsets. If you are interested in joining, us, please let me know.
