On Monday morning, you will have a room service door hanger on your door. Please complete the Snack Stampede card by selecting one snack from each section. Return the card to Jorvonna’s mailbox by 4 PM. You will receive your special delivery on Friday.
P.S. You don’t need to tip us for this service because we are “tipping our hats to you!” 🤠
Every day next week, mosey on down to the Keystone County Fair (aka staff lounge) anytime between 8:15 AM-2:45
PM to play our western themed fair games. There is a new game each day. On
Monday, you can play our first game, Gold
Rush, for a chance to win 100 points.
Also on Monday, the leadership team will be coming around to give you a
gift. You will use the gift to assist you with your points/tickets (hint-hint).
So “saddle up” for your surprise!
Thank you for taking the time to meet with me
during your 15-minute O3. One thing that consistently stands out—and has been
the #1 response for years—is how much you all value each other. The
relationships and sense of community among the Keystone team continue to be
what people love most.
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the
way our team always sticks together. I recently watched the video below about
how “It’s smarter to travel in groups,” and it really reminded me of our
team approach—supporting one another through everything.
It made me realize how much stronger and more
motivated I feel being part of this group, and I know many of you feel the same
based on your 15-minute O3s. When amazing people—like the Keystone staff—work
together, it creates a ripple effect. You inspire each other, share ideas, and
build an environment where we can all thrive.
Thank you for being a team that “groups”
together so we can grow—not just as individuals, but as one. It means a lot to
be part of something that feels like a team—and even more, like a family.
Believe it or not, the time has come to think about next school year! I love our team so much that I hope you all decide to stay, but I understand that various circumstances may prevent this from occurring. If you are not planning to return to Keystone for the 2025-256 school year, it will be very helpful for us to know now so that we have ample time to find a suitable replacement. Remember, even if you are not planning on returning to Keystone next school year, your 2024-25 pay will continue through mid-August and benefits until August 31.
If you are planning to return,
keep in mind that the leadership team hopes to make final teacher placements by
the end of May. Ideally, teachers will
be placed in their desired position, but sometimes changes are necessary to
best meet the needs of our students.
