Information for Faculty and Staff
Your PLCs start this week!  This is a very important time for you to meet with grade levels.  You will have very full agendas, so please come prepared for a busy work day!  I have emailed grades 2, 4 and 5 regarding PTTs, however, all others seem ready to go!  Grades K and 1, we will also be clarifying your start time regarding recess in a separate email.
Please remind your students to be on their best cooperative behavior this week.  Thank you for accompanying the PTTs last week and modeling routines and expectations to them.  This really helps set the tone!
Have a POSITIVE week!

Information for Students
Mrs. Dunn, Mr. Agena and I enjoyed speaking to kindergarten students last week regarding behavior!  We are looking forward to seeing you demonstrate attentive listening with your eyes, ears and hearts as you follow ALL adult instructions for behavior.  We know you will be safe and take care of yourselves and your friends.
Hopefully we will get to speak to more students this week to help reinforce our rules and expectations for safety and behavior.  Make your teachers proud by showing exemplary behavior during your resource classes this week!
Remember-we need your help to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe in our learning environment!

Their dedication and support extend far beyond the expected, touching every corner of our school. From cheerfully greeting families – both the friendly and the more challenging – to ensuring the smooth execution of every event, our office team is truly the backbone of our school. They arrive early, stay late, manage our supplies, process our paychecks and scan our lunches, and, above all, always help to ensure the well-being of our students. Thank you for all that you do!
