Staff Fun-Compassion Bingo

If you have the bingo pattern, checkmark, on your bingo card completed by 4 PM on Monday, see me to receive an additional raffle ticket.

If you did last week’s pattern (four corners) then you would be at an advantage because you have already filled 2 of the spaces. You may show compassion towards others, but majority of your bingo card should be completed by Keystone staff. 

Don’t forget to have your compassion recipient (colleague) sign their initials on your card and include the date. 

Glint Survey

Per your vote, please do not forget to send your dean a screenshot of your completed survey (see image below). If we achieve 100% participation by 4:00 pm this Tuesday, April 16, staff can dress down the entire week of April 22.



School Goals-Best Practice

This will be our final week sharing best practices from your colleagues on ways that they live out our Core Value, “Make our school the best choice for parents and students.” I appreciate everyone’s approach to support our enrollment efforts to retain students. I am highlighting Danielle’s strategies below. 

Visitors Tuesday

 


NHA is piloting a new Classroom Framework (evaluation rubric), and they are seeking feedback from Keystone’s leadership team before they officially roll it out in the 2025-26 school year. As part of this process, they will be conducting classroom observations on Tuesday. Those who will be observed have already been contacted. Please give them a warm Keystone welcome if you see them in the hallway.   

Coffee Cart/Truck

 


MEEMIC will once again be providing us with a coffee truck/cart on Monday. Please come to the staff lounge between 7-9 AM to get a hot beverage. If you don’t have prep before 9AM, please make sure you get here early enough to get your beverage before 7:40. We don’t have anyone who can “deliver” beverages to classrooms.  

April 30 PD

 


On Tuesday, April 30, from 4-5 pm salary staff will be attending a training led by our own Jen DeMolen that will provide valuable strategies and resources from a recent training. These resources are directed towards teachers of all content areas. Through a special grant, we will be providing everyone with a $30 stipend for attending this required session. We feel confident you will find the hour valuable as we Connect WITH Content.
