Good Morning!
We have a great week planned! Please reserve our Wednesday afternoon for the Faculty meeting as we have a presentations from "5th Letter" and the representative from our flexible benefits provider.
Our WSFCS Math training begins this afternoon and locations will be posted on the board.
Give thanks to Denise Jennings as she completes her Guidance work today. Tuesday we welcome Lauren Saldana as our new Counselor. I appreciate the dilligence and professionalism of the interview team {Andy, Kathy, Willie, Suzanne and Mariah} who helped select this amazing addition to our staff.
Let's make this week a turning point in our work to eliminate bullying. Friday at 2:35 I was confronted with two instances of students being mistreated. One was a specific recess situation fueled by physical agression, but the other was an ongoing issue where isolation and exclusion created a power differential to cause emotional pain. We can and we must be aware and responsive to provide conditions where this behavior is an outlier. Promote sharing of power in your classroom and throughout the building. At recess, please stay off the benches and interact with our students to model positive relationship development. I know we can create a school culture and society where difference is honored.
We begin a new K-1 combo today with Karon Kiger as the lead teacher. We will hire a PRT to assist and teach "Imagine It" to the Kinder section of her class. Thanks to Lynn Vernon will be our sub in that capacity starting today. Please welcome her and help in this transition for our Kinder students and their families.
Kathy is out today
I will update more absences in the AM if there are any.
