I hope that you all had a wonderful break. The weather was completely odd and we battled sickness but I was thankful for a slower pace and extra time with my family. I am also energized to be starting a new year with you all. We will re-center ourselves and look at the next few weeks ahead to ensure that we've got a plan to support teachers and students through this testing window.
Staff Shoutouts
- Karen, Jess, Lori and Doreen for all their help with the helping hands stuff.
- Lucia for being a rockstar and for your generous food donation and all the trips to get food.
- Chuck, Ali and Marcus for sprucing up our home while we were all away!
- Kate, Michelle M for a great conversation on how to best support a kiddo
- Lori for organizing a fun off campus event!
***Remember you can "shoutout" a colleague just zip me an email or drop a note and I'll make sure it gets into the blog!
News and Announcements
- Please remember to take time to "go slow" on your first day back. All kids had varying experiences over break and it's important to do a personal check in with each kiddo. Make sure to take notice of those that may be more withdrawn. Reach out to myself, Jess or Karen if there are any issues.
- Here is a great and quick article about welcoming students back after a holiday from Responsive Classroom: https://www.responsiveclassroom.org/seven-tips-for-the-transition-back-to-school-from-winter-break/
- We will gather for staff meeting at 3:10 on Wednesday afternoon.
- I will be out and about this morning taking videos and pictures of "SEL" work live and in action in our building. On Wednesday I will be presenting to the board about how we support all students socially and emotionally here in our building. If you have any videos or pictures that you would like to send along please do so!
- We will NOT have PLC's this week given the short week. We'll get back on track with our professional learning next week!
