Student Dress Code
As we continue greeting students each morning, it’s important that we all consistently check for dress code compliance. While many staff members are doing a great job reinforcing expectations, others may not be addressing them as regularly. Some parents have expressed concerns that enforcement feels inconsistent and that certain students are being singled out.
To prevent any perception of bias, please ensure that as you greet students, you are also checking for
dress code compliance so that our enforcement remains fair and equitable. Let’s
work together to send a unified message that our expectations matter and apply
to every student, every day.
Staff Meeting
Starting at 3:45 on Tuesday, please
go to the staff lounge to sign in, pick up documents, and grab
some snacks. Our staff meeting will begin promptly at 4:00 pm in the technology
room.
You may click HERE
for the agenda.
1/2 Day PD
Three years
later and the leadership team is still upholding our promise to you. We are
providing you with an hour and half additional planning time during our ½ day
PD on Wednesday.
You will
spend the first two hours going through the teaching competency of the new
Classroom Framework. You can view the agenda by clicking HERE. The second hour
and a half you can prep/plan at your discretion. However, all salary staff must
remain in the building until 3:30 PM, hourly staff do not attend.
We hope the additional 6 hours of prep that our half days provide reaffirm that “you matter!”
Fundraiser Dress Down Days
Our students
raised $18, 500 for our fall fundraiser. In appreciation, they have earned two
dress down days:
· October 23: Pajama Day
· October 30: Dress Down Day
We appreciate the
staff for your support as you promoted the fundraiser in your weekly
communication—so staff can participate in these two dress down days too!
ABCDE Goals-Attendance
Congratulations
to Ms. Good-Lang’s and
Mrs. Shroff’s classes for spelling the word,
HERE. Mrs. Khafagi’s, Mrs. Baker’s, and Ms.
Laurinec’s classes also spelled the word, PRESENT!
I’m so excited to
see so many classrooms earning letters for perfect attendance! I can’t wait to
see which class will be the first to spell ATTENDANCE.
We’ve never had
this many classrooms make such incredible strides so early in the school year.
I’m already anticipating having to use our attendance slogan as the next
phrase after ATTENDANCE—what an amazing problem to have!
