THIS and THAT:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a number of years now, PCMS has sent out communication around Halloween dress-up<\/strong> to students and families in the weeks prior. Here is their flyer for this year<\/a>. Other schools actively promote coming to school not wearing a costume at all. Whatever is decided at your building, thank you for communicating those expectations in advance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you know, on Monday we’ll be meeting as a Horizontal group at LPMS starting at 3:00. In the first half of our meeting, we’ll be discussing the beginning of Jim Knight’s book High-Impact Instruction<\/em>. To provide a quick glance behind the curtain of who Jim Knight is, I wanted to provide you this video<\/a> where he speaks about courage and confronting racist language of all kinds<\/strong>. If this is a topic that resonates with you (and possibly one to discuss with your staff), I suggest you look at the two “Looking Ahead” documents found on the bottom of this page for ways to continue or deepen the conversation. [Note: this video does not relate to the discussion we’ll be having on Monday.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a document that I hope you will never need to think about or use. Here are our district’s protocols around student death<\/a>. I’ll save it to the BLS docs in the Tribe folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you are fully aware, two evenings of conferences<\/strong> make for very long days. I hope you plan on spending some time away from your building next Friday or are able to get a lot done if you come in to work. Either way, take advantage of your time on Friday to accomplish what you need most!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I hope to communicate your conference interpreter schedule<\/strong> (interpreter name and times) early next week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n REMINDERS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n MS Horizontal<\/strong> on Monday at LPMS, starting at 3:00pm. (Note the earlier start time!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" THIS and THAT: For a number of years now, PCMS has sent out communication around Halloween dress-up to students and families in the weeks prior.
