I know each of you have a lot that is required of you right now. There
isn’t a lot that I can take off your plates, but here are two small things that
I can offer you:
·
You are no
longer required to change your bulletin board by Wednesday. As long as it's not the same one from the beginning of the school year. 😀
·
You do not
have to print report cards. I am informing families that they can
view them from the Parent Portal and can call the office if they need a printed
copy.
We had
34 staff members participate in the Gratitude
Challenge last week. I enjoyed reading the things that you value and
appreciate. If you are participating in Week 2 (November 8-14) of the Gratitude
Challenge, please make sure to turn in your gratitude jar to me on Monday,
November 16. This week I was grateful for…
· November 8: My college “girl squad” calling and checking on me. It was great to
catch up.
· November 9: My daughters being independent and packing their own lunches.
· November 10: Meeting my weekly quota for working out.
· November 11: My husband always willing to help.
·
November 12: Staff
that continue to give their all despite the circumstances.
· November 13: For the weekend!
·
November 14: Spending
time with sister. My daughters love their Titi.
We will be having a

One of our
Core Values is “Make our schools the best choice for parents and students.” Thank you for doing this EVERYDAY,
especially as we prepare for P-T conferences on November 23 & 24. Don’t
forget to reference my email regarding our expectations for discussing
students’ academic performance, attendance, retention, and scheduling.
The PTO will
be providing lunches for both days that you can grab and go depending on your
schedule.
Many classrooms have been exceeding
expectations with their Dreambox growth this trimester! Major shout out
to Mrs. Reaume’s and Ms. Ancrile’s students for leading the way. Both classes
have shown more than 60% growth since the beginning of the year. Because
of them, Ellen has to make a new island for the bulletin board. 😊 Keep up the great work!
Stacey for making
several parent phone calls to assist our SpEd team.
Andria, Ellen, and
Cindy for just being AMAZING!!! You have all taken on additional tasks to help
the overall team without being asked. Thank you for going well beyond the “see
a need, fill a need” mindset.
Ashely H for spending
your weekend ensuring that all students were transferred correctly even while
you were sick.
Stephanie for
ordering, setting up, and cleaning up the food from Monday’s PD. Also, thank
you for setting up and cleaning up the leftovers repeatedly so we continue to
enjoy the food.
Deb and Gary for
putting all the tables away in the gym.
Sarah Z, Stacey, Jen D, Liz, Morgan, and Amelia for all
your hard work making sure our first SpEd Open House was a success.
Andria, Cindy Chuang, Tracy, Tully,
Stacey, and Nikki for being the top High Five recognizers from each
team for the month of October.
Stacey for making
sure that your colleagues are taken care of. You have such a big heart and a
great mind!
Jen D and Monique for staying
after the SpEd Open House and cleaning up.
