Staff Newsletter - Week of 08/20/18
Thank you for doing such a great job preparing for Curriculum Night! The turnout was spotty in some classrooms and full in other. As a result of your presentations, there were a number of parents who stopped by the office to inquire about signing up for parent portal access. Sign up for the portal must be done in person with Nancy or Lisa because we have to verify the identify of the person who requests access. I will add this information to the next Parent Newsletter.
Collaborative planning begins on Monday and Tuesday this week. We need your help to make sure that this time is used efficiently and effectively. We will have a set protocol to follow for each planning meeting. Please come prepared and ready to discuss the standards and the most effective strategies to meet the needs of our students. Don't forget who is assigned to each role.
I hope you all were able to get some rest this weekend! We purposefully did not open the building to make sure that you took some time for yourself. I had some fun this weekend. See the photos below.
The building will be open on Saturday, August 25.
Thank you for all that you do!
