Hearne Elementary's Playbook
Week of May 6, 2019
Thank You!
IF YOU DIDN’T HEAR THIS FROM ANYONE TODAY {{AND EVEN IF YOU DID}}
Thanks for all that you did today in your classroom (and around the building)…
For making a million little split-second decisions for the benefit of your students.
For putting your own needs on hold and keeping them the focus of your day.
For planning for them long before today ever got rolling.
For changing those plans because they didn’t fit someone who needed a little extra.
For smiling, laughing with them and reassuring their efforts, trials and mistakes.
For placing your hand on a shoulder that was exactly what someone needed.
For getting down on the physical level of your students because it matters.
For thinking of a new way to reach someone who wasn’t getting it.
You matter.
Yes –You matter.
Never forget:
You make a difference!
You matter!
Our students need you!

Parent-Teacher Teams coming in 2019-2020!
Hearne will be piloting APTT for the 2019-2020 school year!
Academic Parent-Teacher Teams (APTT) is a model of family engagement that is grounded in the notion that schools can thrive when families and teachers work together, as genuine partners, to maximize student learning inside and outside of school. The model is research-based and aligns grade-level learning concepts, student performance data, and family-teacher communication and collaboration.
You can watch a detailed video about APTTs here: https://vimeo.com/169255699
We will be discussing this at our next team leader meeting! You are welcome to join the discussion about this collaborative adventure!
Input your daily attendance by 8:30AM each day!
Classes with Perfect Attendance this week!!!!
These are the Awesome classrooms with Perfect Attendance for the week of 4/26/19 to 5/2/19

If you have a student who has missed more than 3 days (consecutive or not), please call the parent and begin documenting your attempts to get the student to come to school each day. Keep in mind the flu season has been horrible this year. Please express your compassion to our parents and families. Ask for a doctors note to excuse the absence, if necessary.

Reminders for all staff
