October 11 – 15

One more week until Quarter 1 is complete. This quarter has been massive. Starting the school year virtually, connecting with your students and families, providing high quality learning experiences, assessing and giving meaningful feedback, planning with your teams….you are STARS!

Enjoy the conferences this upcoming week, where you can celebrate with the parents, the growth and success of their children!

3AS engaged during a literacy lesson!

We are here for you! Dan & I invite you to book meetings with us, using our Google Calendars, if you would like to talk about anything.

Bright Spots: Please take a moment to read the “bright spots” that were shared last week on the right side widget! Let’s continue to focus on, and celebrate, the good things.

When we do this we can share a joyful educator moment or share a shout out to a staff member who has brightened our day. You can find the form here!

Virtual School Bathroom Break Class Procedures: Some students may be feeling nervous or unsure about how to ask or when they can go to the bathroom during VS. Please spend a few moments reviewing your classroom procedures for this. Thanks!

Professional Development Opportunities: I have started a sidebar widget with links to amazing PD opportunities. If you know of others, please share with me, and I will continue to populate this.
