Family Connections


Family connections for new students are due this Friday and returning students are due Friday, September 11. You will bring this sheet completed to your O3 the week of September 14.

Finally, don’t forget to select your Leadership Opportunity by this Thursday. You don’t want Tameka selecting them for you. 😬😂

ABCDE Goals-Attendance

If your class has spelled the word, HERE, please make sure to inform your dean and me. Don’t forget your students earn a letter each day that everyone is present and there are no tardies or early dismissals.

Also, if you are aware of any families planning a vacation, I want to highlight the two key expectations of our family vacation policy below.

     ·      Notification: Parents should notify the principal at least two weeks before their child’s trip.

     ·      Classwork: Teachers are not able to provide work in advance for vacation days.

Extra Recess

 

If your students have earned extra recess, please check this sheet to see the available time slots and then reach out to your dean to add your class to the schedule. I recommend saving this sheet so you can easily access it throughout the school year. 

Extra recess should be awarded for consistent effort or achievement over time, rather than a single instance of good behavior or work. You are responsible for supervising your students. Only the classes listed on the sheet are allowed extra recess. Thank you for helping us to make this a meaningful reward.

Staff Playlist

 

As you know, I love playing music before our staff meetings to create a positive atmosphere as you walk through the doors to help rejuvenate you at the end of a busy day.

I’d love to create another “Keystone Staff Favorites” playlist for this school year featuring your favorite songs. Even if you shared a song last year, you can still participate this year by choosing a different favorite. Please take a moment to complete this quick 3-question survey.

Attendance Slogan

 

It’s that time of year again! Time to create a fun and catchy attendance slogan that will conclude our morning assemblies! Every homeroom must submit a slogan, and the one selected will win a special prize. Click HERE to submit your slogan by Wednesday, September 2 at 4 PM. We can’t wait to see your creativity shine and hear your slogan in action!
