January 15

Hi All, 

I hope that you all are enjoying this three day weekend and the, albeit cold, sunshine! I've been reflecting on the meaning of this day and made a conscious decision to be mindful of my language, pause to notice any implicit bias that showed up and address them. We also spent time as a family and did something that we are fortunate enough to be able to do, ski! 

Important Notes about Tomorrow: 

Special Weather Statement: There is an off chance that the weather will actually matriculate into some questionable road conditions. If that is the case then I will move our inservice to a virtual format. I will make this call by 7:00, since we were planning on starting at 8:30. I will send an email and am looking into if I have the capability to send you all a message via IC. Meagan last week gave each building the professional judgement to make building based decisions.  

Staff Shoutouts

Before I forget - A shout out to Ali for always being willing (even offering without being asked) to help with dismissals.  She passes out the notes, collects teacher sheets and makes sure students are headed in the right direction.

Bess -- thank you for working in an impromptu manner to support a family

Michelle T -- for being understanding and so flexible

Danny -- for your flexibility
