Team,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you find time to rejuvenate your batteries over the holiday break! Here is your prompt to reflect on: What is one or more ritual, or tradition or ceremony that you practice during this time of year that you are looking forward to? Have a well deserved break!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In appreciation,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From Sean Reinhart <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are seeking to help create more accessible outdoor and indoor spaces for students that experience disabilities by purchasing equipment and\/or supplies with some grant money. We are limited, in that, we can’t fund any facilities improvements or construction. Think about equipment and supplies that would increase access to recess or other indoor spaces in your school that is not permanent and portable. Please complete this collaboratively as a School Admin\/SPED team.<\/strong>  We will review all submissions and be in contact with any questions or project ideas.  Thanks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This and That<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From Lora Nordquist<\/p>\n\n\n\n

February 2nd<\/sup> Work Day\/Inservice Day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday, February 2,  was originally scheduled as an additional workday for all staff to prepare for a districtwide systems performance review. However, that process has been delayed. The district decided to keep this as a non-student contact day; however, it remains a paid day for ALL STAFF, certified and classified. For certified staff, the day will be divided into half site-directed inservice and half worktime.  Some classified staff will be required to attend inservice on that day (more details to follow shortly after the break). For other classified staff, it will be a building-directed worktime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

June 20th<\/sup> Teacher Work Day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last day for students has been moved from Thursday, 6\/15, to Friday, 6\/16. The district needed to push back the teacher workday to Tuesday, June 20th<\/sup>, because of Juneteenth. Certified staff who have completed check out do not need to report on the 20th<\/sup>. This is consistent with past practice when we have had to extend the school year due to unexpected circumstances (i.e. snowmaggedon).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Alandra: Choice Option Brochures: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are ordering brochures for all of our 8th<\/sup> grade students to talk about our choice options for high school. I am ordering the same amount as we did last year, but feel free to change your order \u2013 take a look at this spreadsheet and update accordingly<\/a>. Any updates made by Monday, Dec. 19 will work. Expect to see these arriving at your school soon after we return from winter break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
