Howdy Everyone!
Happy 2025, I hope you had the best possible break! I’m looking forward to spending 2025 with you!
A HUGE thank you to Diane for hosting our holiday get together before the break, it was so much fun!
A few notes to get you off to a fresh start in 2025:
1) New School Wide theme for January: Integrity and Responsibility
2) New Buddies start this week (now till February 14):
K/3rd
1st/2nd
4th/5th
3) I have an admin meeting on Tuesday and will leave school around 2:40pm.
4) SIW is in house. Lori will be here to share some insights into your new EL science-based modules.
5) DIBLES has been moved to February 5.
6) Bree Beal from Beat Theater will be our visiting artist this month during Enrichment. She’ll do 3 sessions with each class in the coming weeks and then would like to be able to showcase the work at Community Time. I’ll work on the details this week.
7) Slow roll out…Variety Show date is February 26 at Caldera. We’ll chat soon about how we want the launch and rehearsals to look. Please have little chats amongst yourselves in the meantime.
8) I’ll be sending out a note to parents on Tuesday about midyear Conversations on January 31st and February 5th. Please be prepared to reach out to parents later this week or first thing next week to notify them that you’d like to meet. Please remember we are aiming to meet with 8-10 families.
