Kindness – I needed to remind myself of this concept so I am sharing it with you. I have had the good fortune to witness a few different leaders I admire respond to some intense hostility with kindness that clearly powered over the anger and I hope to have that strength when it’s needed.
Retirement – Although we still do not have an official notice from HR yet, I wanted to let you know that Brad did reach out last week to let me know he is retiring. After 37 years he has decided to hang up that hoodie and focus on his property management. Please join me in congratulating him.
Staff Meeting – Wednesday 9/30 2:30-2:59 – WebEx – I will do a webex from my office. This will need to be a quick meeting since my principles meeting is now moved to 3 this day.
Safety Team Meeting – Friday 10/2 2:45-3:30 – In-Person in the Library – Please send any concerns/questions to me if you would like this team to examine or address them.
From Walt … The focus of Walt’s team is to make the schools safe, clean, and sanitary to protect the well-being of our students, staff, and patrons. They have put protocols, tools, and processes in place to help do this to the best of their abilities, However, it will take all of us working together to assure that we are successful. Click here for a copy of the custodial duties Walt and his team have put together. Any staff help will be highly appreciated because anything they can do will provide more time for the sanitizing at night. And as a reminder, custodial staff at your school will be really busy so they cannot have any other extra duties such as crossing guard or recess supervision.
Limited In Person Instruction (LIPI) – this term keeps getting thrown around and the document linked here is a good one-pager to provide some clarification. Basically this concept is intended for students who really struggled with barriers to CDL in the spring.
Master Schedule – obviously we can push this back a little while, but I will still work on getting this squared away for when we return, hopefully on the 26th. Please be sure to review this and provide questions or comments. I am still working on EA assignments and supervision.

I am sure you saw the TLC update from Julie W. on Friday. I went ahead and put the new templates and videos into the Highland Literacy Resources file.
