Week of August 14th

Greetings,

I know that I have said this several times, but THANK YOU FOR A GREAT FIRST WEEK! Your patience with schedules, transitions, unexpected moves, and other changes is greatly appreciated. If this is any indication of where the year is headed, we are going in the right direction. As I visited classes today, I was overwhelmed by your level of enthusiasm while teaching. It is evident that we have all committed to "renewing our saltiness".  All of the students were actively engaged during instruction.  Below you will find a few reminders to keep in mind as we move forward:

Reminder that our work day begins at 8:00 am. Please be sure to arrive to work on time and sign in at the front office.

Lesson plans are due on Fridays at 6:00 pm.

Remember to establish your classroom rituals and routines for the next several weeks. In addition, make positive contact with parents before Wednesday of next week.

Please continue teaching PAWS expectations throughout the week! Let Ms. Hogan know if you still need a PAWS matrix for your classroom.

Transitions are looking good. Please continue to practice the expectations with the students.

Send your course syllabus home with students and be sure to provide me with a copy. I have had several parents to ask for a copy.

Encourage EVERY child to read daily! We must push literacy as a building.

As we are working to settle schedules, please document attendance. The district is asking that we take attendance in Campus for the next 10 days. I realize that this may have been difficult this week due to incorrect rosters. Beginning Monday, it is imperative to take attendance every day in every class.

Lastly, enjoy your weekend, RESET, and prepare for next week!
