May 19 PD

For our PD on Friday, only salaried staff are required to attend. We will be providing breakfast from Panera and lunch from Burger Spot food truck.

You can choose one entrée: hamburger, cheeseburger, chicken tenders, grilled chicken breast, or black bean burger (vegan). You can add a hot dog and fries to your entrée.

The leadership team remains committed to utilizing your feedback. We are using our full day PD for professional development AND additional prep/planning time. You will spend the morning going through instructional content and EOY items. The afternoon you can prep/plan at HOME! You're welcome! lol.

You can access the agenda here.

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 this survey below by Wednesday, May 17 and we will announce the winner at our staff meeting in June.

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 26!

Welcome to the Team

We have a new staff member joining our team on Monday. Emily Caruso is our new 7^th/8^th science teacher.

Please give her a warm Keystone welcome when you see her.
