Week of May 10, 2020

Team,

This last week was both difficult and refreshing. Thank you for sticking with me (even at a distance).

This week, we will refine scheduling blocks and student support needs for the 2020-21 school year:

• Please respond to the emails from Barbara Madkins regarding truancy court (teachers in grades 6-8).
• Please respond to the emails from Suzanne Bratina regarding GT goals (4/5 and core teachers)
• MYP teachers, please respond to the tech/Advisory survey that was sent to your email.

Happy Mother's Day to all of our Cyclone mamas!

~Ryan

Daily Tasks: Monday-Thursday

• Daily online instruction + feedback to students continues

*No PLCs this week.

Next week, we will return to PLCs and confirm class placements, schedule details, etc.

Please continue documenting as needed in the log.
As a reminder, an office team member is your point person:

• 4th Grade: Jaime Quinn
• 5th Grade: Suzanne Bratina
• 6th Grade: Cassie Pate
• 7th Grade: Jennifer Hernandez
• 8th Grade: Rose Benitez

Thank you for your continued communication about student progress.

Please be aware of and share the Parent Infinite Campus/Parent Portal Helpline number (719-549-7111) with all staff and parents.

In an attempt to keep our students engaged, we will be posting a daily engagement tip for our community on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter - #wearecims #cycloneconnections.

I'm looking for volunteers to help share photos and ideas. Our school community hasn't "seen" us for a while, and sharing our faces may help ease the challenge of this new situation.

If you are interested, share photos/videos/ideas to Ryan by email or text for any of these themes:

• Movement - ideas to stay active
• Turning Pages - what are you reading?
• Wellness - how are you staying well?
• Thoughtful - how are you acting/caring/serving?
• Family - how are you keeping you and your family engaged/connected?

The entire office team will be working hard to reach families, support teachers, and keep our school community engaged.

For social/emotional support, please reach out to the counselors.

The coordinators are available on the regular for many of your needs as well.

All access continues to be restricted.
