Hi All, 

I hope that this email finds you all well and refreshed after a full weekend. I know there was a fair amount of cabin fever feeling in my household! 

FYI: There are a lot of teachers out this morning so we are going to need an all hands on deck approach today. If there's anything you can cover or step in for please let Lori or I know asap. 

Staff Shoutout

• Lori for always finding the pieces to make the sub puzzle work
• Doreen for stepping in to sub
• Lisa W. for communicating clearly and learning classroom expectations 
• Lisa A for always making her student laugh and smile  
• Deb A and Jake for making me belly laugh last week!
• Chess for being so flexible and helpful

News and Announcements

• Please review the Chromebook Usage reminders from Amy Young.

• Chromebooks are for "educational purposes" (Many students are using them for entertainment purposes. Limit screen time.)
• Shut down and plug in each day
• Take time to tuck cords in and wrap headphone cords up (no dragging)
• Handle with care (two hands when possible, slow down, & be mindful)
• No food or drink near chromebooks
• Chromebooks on table or desk surface (not laps or floor)
• Teachers monitor student activity when they are online 

This last one is not in the guidelines but it is good practice. Please circulate around the room or have a view of their screens. I am doing spot checks on student activity online and I am seeing lots of flags of non-education use and inappropriate searches. 

• If you haven't gotten a chance please fill out the Drill Feedback link. We will look at these results in our District Safety Team meetings to ensure we are most prepared for the next drill. 
• Staff Meeting this week will be nuts and bolts, a look back at the traditions protocol that we ran during our virtual PD day and mini data review. 
• Report Cards: Please remember to have all data entered by Wednesday morning. If you are finished please let me know and I'll start spot checking. 

Professional Resources (repeat from last week) : 

• Tips for Responding to Mid-Year Behavior---This is a quick read and filled with some great reminders! Take a peek. 
• This is a great list of webinars that have been posted through RC. This are longer deep dives but they are a great resource if that's something you're interested in: Digital Webinars
