Staff Appreciation Week

Over that past year and half, you have pushed yourself to learn new and innovative ways to reach students academically, behaviorally, emotionally, and socially.  You work hard to meet students at all levels and to provide supportive yet rigorous instruction. Now more than ever, I am proud to be a part of the Keystone team.

As adults, we ALL need appreciation for what we do, so I want to assure you that although working as a teacher can sometimes feel like an unappreciated effort day in and day out, it is NOT. The admin team, PTO, Board, and our families appreciate all those extra things and extra hours you work.

We want you to know that we have searched under the stars and over the moon and CAMP find any better teachers and staff than you! We in-TENT-sly want to say we are WILD about our staff.

We hope you enjoy Camp Keystone! Happy Staff Appreciation Week (SAW)!

Lexia

 

Thank you for your active participation during our Lexia training on Tuesday. To prepare students to use Lexia during summer school, we need to make sure that all your students are appearing on your roster. The good news is your class has been rostered for you, you just need to verify all students are accounted for before our next staff meeting on May 11^th. You can verify your roster through My Lexia which can be accessed through your Clever portal.  If you are missing a student, please let Andria know.  During the staff meeting, we will be discussing next steps: placement assessment administration and classroom usage expectations. 

Thank you for your support as we launch this great resource.
