ID Badges - Please be sure to always have your ID badge on while you're in the building. Also, never hesitate to question another adult in the building who is not wearing a district ID badge or a visitor's sticker.
PD Update - I have received several SMART goal updates from teams and I appreciate it! Our Problem Solving Core team met Wednesday morning and discussed how we can continue work, learning and collaboration around feedback and mindsets during our February 6th PD. I look forward to the continued conversation! Several of you have shared some wonderful videos, student resources and ideas with each other - continue to share and bring those ideas/resources to our February 6th PD too! A couple links worth sharing now came from Samantha Gregory and can be found on the intervention tab on the FWR. Check them out!
Doors - Mark Irvin took a look at the 1st grade pod doors and said they should stay locked if closed properly. Please be sure to pull/push any exterior door shut when you are coming/going. For the mornings, Shelley will begin unlocking the 1st grade pod door at 8:20am so breakfast students can enter. Kris will lock the doors after duty. I have also asked bus 21 and 4 to stagger release of students coming in for breakfast so we hope that helps too.
Summer learning opportunity - The district ESL teachers are excited to offer an exciting summer learning opportunity for teachers who work with our ELL students. The 1/2 day Digging Into Differentiation: Supporting English Language Leaners will take place on June 4th. Teachers who attend will receive a $32 stipend per hour for attending.
