Restorative Practices
Learning more about and embracing restorative practices is a natural next step in our SEL journey. We can look forward to learning more about this impactful approach both at the school and district level. Please take a few minutes to read through the article and watch the brief video linked below prior to our time together on Jan. 24th.
Late Start Team Time
The Jan. 29th late start meeting time was changed to team time (from SI/Staff meeting time) so that teams could plan interventions and enrichment opportunities for students. With fresh NWEA data and updated running record information, you will undoubtably be ready to reorganize.
Ice Skating Schedule
We are looking forward to our school-wide skating event on February 14th. Valentine's Day parties will be that afternoon from 2:30-3:30, following an all school recess at 2:15. Please let Sara know if you see any potential conflicts with the ice skating schedule linked here by January 17th. Our goal is to have the schedule published by the 21st so that classroom teachers can publish party times.
