TO DO:

If you haven’t already read chapters 7 – 9 of Culture Code, please do so prior to our next Horizontal meeting on March 18.

When I come visit with you at your building this month I’d love to have you talk me through where you are with your SLGGs (think mid-year review). This conversation is not intended to be an elaborate presentation, but more of a conversation in which I’d love to hear what you’ve done so far, any data you’ve been able to collect, and where you are headed these next few months.

THIS and THAT:

I will be out of the office and a little more difficult to reach next Wednesday and Thursday (3/6 and 3/7). Tuesday afternoon I’ll be driving to La Grande in order to be a part of their high school accreditation visit for those next two days. As such, I will not be checking my email often during the day, so if you need to reach me please send a text and I’ll reply as soon as I am able. I plan on being at work Friday morning.

Andrea had a few parents reach out to her regarding their concern with not getting an ACR turned in by March 1 due to the school closures this week. Because of this, she created a fillable ACR form and emailed this to these parents – with the request that they fill it out and send it to the school office manager. I wanted you to have the form if you needed it, as well as be aware that you may receive an ACR electronically.

This video around the topic of how (some) young people (in this case Oprah) can mitigate or overcome trauma is one that Wendy shared with her staff last month – and I wanted to share with all of you. The power of relationships (love shared from one human to another) in school is powerful.

UPCOMING:

We do not have a Leadership meeting this month.

Daylight Savings Time starts on Sunday, March 10.
