Hi Team, 

I hope that you all had a great weekend. My father in law went under for an additional surgery today due to complications from a hip replacement last week. We're not totally sure at this point when he will be home or what his care plan is post second surgery but I will let you know if it impacts my availability for you all as soon as I know! At this time it my biggest guess is that it would impact my afternoon availability if anything. 

Also, I've got some health stuff that we're trying to get to the bottom of. I will be out Wednesday morning for a doctor's appointment and should be back 9:30. 

Hiring Update: We are waiting for board approval of the position. We need to have the BCBA position approved by the board even though we are seeking grant funding. Stay tuned! If you're interested in being on the hiring committee please let me know!  

Staff Shout Outs:

• Hi! I wanted to let you know that today I saw a few outstanding examples of staff members stepping in and up while you were away. They were calm, quick, available, highly professional , and effective in attending to students who needed some assistance.  Of note, Michelle  Meachem, Amber B., Betsy and Kirby.
• Katherine McCauley for working so hard to help a student feel successful. 
• Jess E and Kim Knapp for working hard to make WIN most effective for their students. 
• Doreen and Lori for making me laugh on a daily basis! 
• Ali for helping me with a smelly situation in my office :) 

News and Announcements:

• We will use 20 mins of our PLC time this week to take the 2nd acadience training. We will also do some Jen P work during out staff meeting. I'm trying to pull something together so we can get caught up. Celia's version of Jen 1.25!
• Consequences:
• Recess- Keeping students in from recess to make up work or practice a skill is something that should be used infrequently and should not be used for more than 10-15mins maximum.
• Why? Students need to move. Additionally, if this is something that is happening frequently for one student we should strategize about what the student(s) need to feel more successful.
• Other times to consider for make-up/practice work? Lunch, snack, early morning, choice time.
• If you haven't sent me your goals and made an appointment or re-scheduled because I was out or busy please do so by the end of the day Monday.
