Speaking of meetings….after some discussion with our leadership team we will be switching two of our SIWs – 2/19 will now be a PBIS professional development with our Culture of Care team and 2/26 will be the teacher-prep afternoon. We will be spending the SIW time on the 19th building our culture of care as a whole community and we would like all staff to attend. It will be fun!
Assembly Change – FYI – We are changing the February Assembly so it is now on the 21st. This will be the culminating event for our Kindness week.
Report Card Info- Report card work day is coming up later this month. Linked here are the first semester report card information and stretch band information. Julie has provided further explanation for the stretch band info, “You can figure out where students are performing in this range by looking at the lexile level on the back of their Wonders leveled readers or looking at the Wonder’s Teacher’s Edition in order to figure out the lexile level of every book students are accessing each week.”
Classified PD- Please click her for a PD opportunity for classified staff who provide interventions for students. It will be held on January 31 at Three Rivers. Most questions are answered on the flyer.
Inclement Weather- Please take a few minutes to review our Inclement Weather Delay guidelines .
One Class at a Time- As you likely are aware, Mid Oregon Credit Union and KTVZ sponsors the One Class at a Time program, awarding $500 with a KTVZ News story to share with the community and highlight great things happening in schools. They are currently looking for innovative and relevant classroom programs that we can feature (things happening now, this spring, or even next fall).
Winter Clothing Wonder
Ever wonder why there are always some kids wearing shorts in the winter? This is a great article, although I have to laugh a little that somebody took the time to write about this topic. The curiosity approach versus the authority approach is applicable to a variety of circumstances.
