Schoolwide Fun-Snow Day Predictions

 

Although the current temperatures are giving us more of a fall feel than winter, we all know Michigan weather can change its mind in a hurry! Before we know it, we'll be watching the forecast and hoping for that first snow day.

So, it's time to continue our schoolwide fun tradition of First Snow Day Prediction! 

Next to the staff bathroom is a First Snow Day Prediction bulletin board. Work with your homeroom students to predict which day you think will be our first snow/inclement weather day. We assigned every auxiliary staff member to a homeroom so they can join in on the fun! Please click HERE for auxiliary staff assigned homeroom.

On the bulletin board, we have provided the dates of our first snow days for the past 10 years, so you can make an educated guess. There are only two spots per date, so first come, first serve. The winning classroom(s) wins a prize. You must make your predictions by next Friday. 

Will we have an early winter surprise, or will Michigan make us wait? Only time will tell!

Staff Meeting

 

We’re going to cancel our staff meeting to give everyone some additional time to prepare for parent-teacher conferences. We know there’s a lot to do, and we hope this extra time helps you feel prepared and supported heading into conferences.

Specials teachers will still be providing snacks for you to enjoy throughout the day. 

Friday Regional PD

Just like last year, all Regional PD, except first year staff, will be held at each individual school. We look forward to spending the day with you discussing reading strategies across subject areas. You will also get an hour and half of extra prep to apply the learning.   

You can click HERE to view the full agenda.

Lunch will be provided from Honey Baked Ham. Please complete this survey by 4 PM on Monday to select your food choices.

Attire is comfy, which includes leggings, sweatpants, jeans, etc.

Please note that only salaried staff are required to attend.

ABCDE Goal-Attendance

 

Congratulations to Mrs. Higgins’ classroom for spelling the word HERE and Mrs. Roberts’ class for spelling the word, PRESENT.
