Hi All, 

I hope that you enjoyed this glorious weekend. On Tuesday this week I acknowledge the 29th year of my Mother's passing. It's still so hard to believe that this impactful person has been gone for so long but yet she has. I have one generous ask of you to help me celebrate her memory if you're so inclined. Please pass a random act of kindness around our community; whether here or at school. My mother, Denise, was a joyful and kind person who always saw the good in the world. Thanks for considering helping lift the spirits of others in her honor.

News and Announcements 

• After much feedback we will be going back to our old system of getting students to/from lunch. I appreciate you all giving a new system a try. I also acknowledge all that is on your plate and don't want to make it overflow for something small. 
• Moving forward: One duty person will be 3/4 at the end of the hallway by the nurse's office and one person will meet 5/6 in the hallway by the climbing wall. 
• I am not going to assign the 'pickup' person I will let you all sort that out. Tyler will be in the cafeteria as backup adult. 
• K-2 Students will be walked from Lunch/Recess by those on duty.
• 3-6 teachers will pick up their students at the end of their lunch block
• Note: If you are out and around during transition any support or acknowledgement of positive student behavior is very much appreciated. 
• Reminder: Tomorrow is Stuffy Day. Students will be allowed to bring their stuffy's out on the playground to "meet and greet." Your schedule will be the same. 
• Jessica Heinz sent out a revised School Celebration Protocol.  Here is the full information if you want to check it out again. Classroom Teachers please remember to fill out this form with celebration ideas. The PBiS team will choose between celebrations that "alter the schedule" and ones that can be done all day without a schedule change. 
• Reminder: If we have a celebration or a whole school meeting this is the schedule we will be following: WSM/Special Celebration Schedule.
• My apologies! I changed the Duty Schedule in real time and I know it messed a bunch of you up on Friday. I had to switch some things to accommodate our Friday meeting schedule. This is the most current duty schedule. 
• Joelle VanLent will be visiting this week all day on Wednesday. If you have a student who you would like extra consult on please let me know! She will also be with us at Staff Meeting on Wednesday. 
• Radios: Our new radios are in please let Lori know if you are missing one!
