Hi All, 

I hope you had a wonderful long weekend. We're looking at a full 4 day week ahead of us! I apologize that I have two previously scheduled appointments during this week. One is for Rowan and one is with a specialist so I can't move the time. I'm hoping that the weather will be more cooperative this week and we'll see less rain! I wanted to thank you all for your support in life's curveball throwing last week. 

Shoutouts: 

• Tyler, thanks for running point on dismissal. It's been a bit of a doozy. 
• Thank you to Lori for all her help with setup/take down during inservice 
• Intervention team--thanks for being open to new ideas! 

***All, please "shoutout" your colleagues by sending me an email during the week!*** 

News and Announcements:

• Mandatory Trainings are due by 9/15.

• I want to come around and see Morning Meetings in actions in the next few weeks. Please remember that it's vitally important that we "circle up" for morning meeting. Circle allows for students to physically see and be in partnership with eachother. Here's a quick article to remind us of the power of Morning Meeting.
