Glint Survey Feedback
Thank you again for the valuable feedback that you provided during our April staff meeting regarding 10 statements on the Glint survey. During our regional PD we will create action plans for 5 of those statements and the other 5 will be discussed through my blog and the deans' newsletters.
This week, I will be discussing, “I trust the people I work with.”
Based on the anchor chart above, you love that we are direct
with you; care about your well-being; do good news; and provide opportunities
for you to receive support from veteran and mentor teachers.
See the table below regarding our approach to “start”
implementing your feedback to increase the trust within our building.
|
Things to Start
Doing |
Ways To Address/Start
Doing |
|
|
We will have the social committee
schedule at least one off-site outing per trimester where staff have the
option to participate. |
|
|
We will continue to have seating charts
and icebreakers at staff meetings that ensure interaction between hallways. |
|
More direct conversations dean to teacher |
Based on the anchor chart where
multiple checks were given to the comment “Being direct with us.” We feel
that this is something that we do well, however, we acknowledge that it may
not be 100% of the time, so we will continue to monitor this feedback. |
If you have other suggestions on ways that we can increase the
trust in our building, please let me know!
EOY Items
On June 6, you may start to
slowly take things down in your room. As
much as I appreciate our staff’s desire to share with each other, no unwanted
items can be brought/left in the staff lounge. That includes food from your EOY
celebrations. I want to avoid treating the
staff lounge like a swap meet. 😊
If you have items that you no
longer want, please keep it in your classroom, take a picture, and send an
email to the staff. If no one wants your item(s), you will need to dispose of
it.
Staff Member of the Year
At the end of every school year, Keystone recognizes a Staff Member of the
Year which is determined by your
peers. Think of someone who represents Keystone through positive words and
actions and goes above and beyond for staff and students.
Please complete the survey below by Wednesday, May 25 and we will
announce the winner at our staff meeting in June.
EOY Celebrations
To ensure
that we make count (attendance), EOY celebrations must take place on the last day of school
(except kinder). The time and activities are at your discretion.

EOY Deadlines
The admin team tried to provide adequate notice and time to complete the End of the Year (EOY) tasks. Please make sure that you are planning ahead by paying close attention to due dates in the EOY Procedures document that was passed out at the staff meeting.
The first item due is Moral Focus books
returned to the library by May 27!
Postcard
As you start your end of the year tasks, I wanted to let you know that all postcards are on the copier room counter. Please note the following:
· Each teacher needs to complete 30 postcards.
· You are not writing this to a specific student, instead
it will be written to the grade level.
· When writing your message, you can handwrite them or
print them on a label.
· We have purchased two different sizes of “message” labels
(see image below). You can get the labels from Stacey Ramirez.
·
Don’t forget to save your “message”
labels so we can send postcards to new families who enroll during the summer.
You save them in the U-Drive à 21-22 Teacher Documents à EOY folderà Postcard Labels folder. Please include
your last name or grade level in the title.
· The “address” labels for the entire grade level were
placed in the team lead’s box on Wednesday.
· It’s important that you put the address label on first
before you write your message to ensure you have enough room.
· Please make sure you put the address label on the right
side of the postcard and your message on the left (see image below).
· These will be sent out in July, so it will be your
second summer communication to your incoming families. Your first communication
is the grade level welcome letter that will be sent home with report
cards.
