Hi All,
I hope that your weekend went well. I know everyone earned some much needed rest after a Halloween Friday with indoor recess...I am sorry. But, you made it! We're onto a new week. Remember, consistency and positive recognition for expected behaviors goes a long way.
News and Announcements:
- Thank you for your patience as we are getting Afterschool kinks ironed out. Kids are excited and we're trying out best to get the 10 minute gap figured out. If you can remind them to get a snack and sit quietly that would be extremely helpful.
- Reminder: Students must be signed up through the afterschool sign-up in order to attend a club.
- Afterschool Update: I believe that CC is moving forward with the hiring of a site director for our program. This is VERY exciting, it means we will continue to off club model after school programming for students at BES. If you are currently running a club and are interested in continuing for one day, two days or more through CC please let me know ASAP.
- Please see Tyler's email regarding Bus Rider assembly:
I need all students who ride the bus in the gym at 9:15 on Monday. I fully recognize that first thing on Monday morning is a less than ideal start of the week, and appreciate your future flexibility!
- We will make a call over the intercom at 9:15 for students who ride the bus to come down.
- We will go over bus expectations, and explain how write ups from the bus will be handled (differently) starting on Monday (when I send you all the letter this step will make more sense).
- After going over expectations U1 and U2 students will return to class. U3 riders will stay to practice expectations on Bus U3 (which will stay after dropoff and is why it needs to happen first thing).
- Once U3 riders have finished practicing, they will return to class.
- Please review bus expectations in class at least once next week to help reinforce!

- Reminder: There will be NO Staff Meeting or K-6 PLC/PD this week. This is time in lieu for conferences.
- Caregiver Conferences: You all will have the 10th of November as a day to hold conferences or a "day in lieu" for conferences. Conferences should be held the week before of the week after if you are not using the day of the 10th.
- Expectations:
- Conferences are around 20 minutes each.
- Classroom teachers offer ways for families to sign up (digital, email, in person)
- Classroom teachers take attendance and ask for additional support at conferences if needed. I'm happy to join to any conference if needed/wanted.
- Caregiver Conferences for non-classroom teacher. Please utilize the time to connect with families in a positive way. Please share the comments in a google doc or bcc me on the emails. If you are interested in swapping 2 hours for supporting the community library night or helping with childcare please let me know.
Upcoming Dates:
