4.8

Hi All,

I hope that you had a good weekend and that you enjoyed the eclipse in whatever way worked best for you. We had a wide variety of activities to entertain a toddler that took a very short nap! I am thankful for many things after this wonderful 3 day weekend: right near the top of the list is a warm shower after a lack of power for 2.5 days. 

Staff Shoutouts 

• Thank you to all students and staff who made testing last week possible. Things went smoothly and we appreciated your help in keeping the hallways quiet.  
• Lori for piecing the staffing puzzle together 
• Betsy V for stepping in to help fill Lucia's shoes 
• Kim Knapp for being game for making a wonky day of testing successful! 
• Sarah R and Amber D for a collaborative brainstorm session!
• Karen C for supporting everyone

News and Announcements 

• Budget Update: The board met and had a very long meeting last Wednesday. They eventually voted to continue their conversation to this Wednesday April 10. I anticipate knowing more after this meeting.
• Coverage Puzzle: As we are working to cover all students on days when there are limited subs please know that we sometimes have to prioritize 1:1 student coverage. The special educators, Lori and I work to make sure that everything is covered and do our best to communicate if your services will be impacted. 
• Week 2 of testing will continue this week. Reminder: 5/6th grade specials are happening from 9:05-9:50 on Thursday morning. We anticipate the testing window to be longer than the math time last week. The schedule will be as follows:
