Last Friday, some of us met and had a discussion about building safety.\u00a0 It was a great conversation on a difficult topic.\u00a0 Below are some safety updates for all:<\/p>\n
In the event of an emergency, email<\/strong> will be our go to communication system in the event we are not able to use the intercom.\u00a0 This would be the way that I would communicate information to you and the system to use if you need to communicate with another person on our staff.\u00a0 While texting can be quick, cell phone service is usually compromised in emergency situations and our wifi system is designed to continue to be reliable.<\/p>\n Blinds<\/strong>-In the event of a lockdown or lockout, blinds should be kept open.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 There may be instances during a lockout when we might need to close blinds depending on what is happening on our school grounds.\u00a0 In this situation, Lybe or I would announce this or would go to classrooms and communicate this info in person.<\/p>\n The entry doors to Neighborhoods that are magnetically secured open during school hours are always locked.\u00a0 <\/strong>This is purposeful, as they can add extra security to the wing if closed.\u00a0 We do not have a remote means at this time to close these doors.<\/p>\n Third grade mathematicians below- Torree was using Apple Classroom to monitor how students were grouping the manipulatives and then air-playing student work.<\/p>\n Week at a Glance for December 17-21 Monday:<\/p>\n Tuesday:<\/p>\n Wednesday:<\/p>\n Thursday:<\/p>\n Friday:<\/p>\n Picture from the 5th dress rehearsal below.\u00a0 The evening concert was just as fantastic and the PTO event afterwards was a fun opportunity for our community to gather, eat some cookies, have some cocoa and enjoy the mild temperatures outside.<\/p>\n I came across this article<\/a> on Seattle Public Schools decision to adjust start times in 2016 and some follow up research on the impact on students.\u00a0\u00a0 Not a required read by any means, just thought some might find it interesting.<\/p>\n Great jumps on the number line in second grade!<\/p>\n Colleagues, One week until Winter Break!\u00a0 Whoop!\u00a0 Whoop!
