Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.
-Alexander Graham Bell

We are so well prepared for this second quarter. The SuperUnit planning process for unit 2 as well as the reflection from unit 1 allowed all of you to prepare for an even more successful second quarter. The time we spend together can at times feel forced, or unnecessary or frustrating, but it is time well spent if you can push through the roadblocks in order to prepare, so that our students have the best possible learning experiences. As we begin this second quarter in earnest it will be a huge success because you took the time to prepare.

Weekly Focus:

Our focus this week will be respect for all. We are seeing a bit of an uptick in disrespect so please be mindful to talk about respect for all,

ROOM PARENTS

We have seen the excitement and trepidation from our room parents. They are so excited to help but may be out of practice in terms of what to do. Please let us know if we can help with any parents who may want to help but aren’t sure how.

PURPLE MOMENTS

It has been a few weeks since we have had any purple moment shout-outs. We have so many amazing things happening daily. Please take a moment to share one this week.

PSAT’s

PSAT’s are happening on Tuesday from 7:30 – 12:30. If we have a rainy day schedule we will NOT use the auditorium. We will find another location for students. (fingers crossed it doesn’t rain)
