Bulletin Boards

 


If you have not changed your bulletin board since we have returned in January, you will need to change it by March 4. All bulletin boards need to include:

·      Learning Objective (I Can statement)

·      Standard (Common Core, NGSS, etc.)

Welcome Email

 


You should have received your Trimester 3 class list by now. Please make sure that you contact your new families via email by Tuesday, March 2. Please include your intro/welcome letter and class schedule  

(virtual).

Social Distance Circles

 We have removed the social distancing circles because they were a hot mess. 😊 We will be putting new ones down during Spring Break. At that time, there will be one row in the center of the hallway to hopefully increase longevity. When installed, we ask that students continue to line up on the blue carpet, not the circles, and only use the circles as a guide.



Classroom Cameras

 



NHA informed me that they will begin installing classroom cameras the week of March 8. It will take 3 days to complete the project and majority of the work will be done after school hours. I will let you know if anything changes. 

Synchronous Lessons

 


Please make sure that you record your synchronous lessons on Monday for those students who are unable to attend. We want to make sure all students have access to learning regardless of their home situation.


Shout Outs

 


Jen H, Ashley H, Stephanie, Deb, Robyn, Jamie, Stacey, and Tameka for being the best direct reports that anyone could ask for. You have completely spoiled me this week. I don’t know what I am going to do when I come next week and don’t have a surprise every day!

15-Minute O3s

 



It’s that time again where I would like to have a 15-minute O3 with every staff member the week of March 1-5.

This gives both of us an opportunity to connect. As often as I am in classrooms seeing the great things that you all are doing, I don’t get to hear how you are feeling about everything. Please come to the O3 willing to share with me one thing that you like about Keystone and one thing that if we changed would improve Keystone.

I am asking ALL staff members to please use the link: Sign Up Sheet to sign up by Wednesday, February 24.

I will be sending out calendar invites by Friday, February 26. I look forward to spending this time with you!
