Conferences- Please send out the parent input forms for conferences if you haven’t already done so. Please read our guidelines and timeline. Our next step in the process is sibling scheduling on Thursday at 2:30 in the library. We were told in our principal notes today that conferences WILL BE VIRTUAL.
Title I Compact- Please send home asap. Encourage students in any way possible to return these to us. Please keep track of returned compacts and connect with parents about it at conferences for those who have not returned them. We will be putting reminders in the newsletter the next couple weeks.
Educator Network- Please sign up for an Educator Network event if you haven’t already done so. K and 1 must choose the Foundational Skills Training. It will take place right here at Buckingham and be led by our own Laci Fisher and Jon Lindsay! The rest of you have a menu of options, both in person and virtual.
A friendly reminder about 3 feet distancing – This is from our principal notes:
“one of the questions that will be asked during contact tracing is “were students 3 feet apart?” As you walk your school and observe classrooms you might want to pay particular attention to this rule and give students and staff a friendly reminder about the 3 feet rule and masking.”
Long Absences- Thanks to Erica for sharing the expectations around students who have long absences- Ready, Set, Go- Targeted Remote Learning. If you get any push back from parents, please let Jon or Gary know and we can brainstorm ideas for helping our students stay up on things as much as possible.
Halloween Party!!- Individually wrapped, store bought candy etc. is acceptable for the parties.
EA Training Opportunity- The Ed Center is offering a training opportunities for EA’s on October 27 (conference day). Please sign up on Performance Matters if you would like to attend. Let us know if you need assistance signing up.
