Hi All, 

I hope that you all have stayed warm and are ready for the snow. This week will be busy with the circus residency and the potential of a snowday tomorrow. I wanted to apologize for any confusion that my day on Friday caused. I had agreed to support CO in the application process for a new Executive Assistant. I didn't communicate that absence/change well and I apologize! 

Observations from the Field 

• Deep care and commitment to ensuring that all students understand the impact of their actions on others 
• Use of restorative questions 
• Commitment to transparent communication 
• Teams working to be solutions focused

News and Announcements 

• Circus Residency-- I will let you know ASAP if there are any changes to the timing or schedule if there is a snowday tomorrow. 
• Intervention Cycle 3: February 2- April 10th. Interventionists will connect with classroom teachers to make sure that their needs and their student needs are met next week. 
• Any student who is receiving IEP services will have their services at the same time. 
• Interventionist will prioritize the collection of the LCAP data. 
• LCAP Data---Please ensure that all data is entered by Friday afternoon. We will utilize time in teams and as a whole staff to analyze and look at our progress. We have some exciting things to celebrate! 
• Please take a peek at these resources. Given the events in our country I want to make sure that you have resources to support students if questions come up.
