Hey Fine Folks,
I hope you enjoyed the beautiful weekend! If my counting is correct (and not that I’m counting!) we have 33 days of school left…
A big congratulations to Amanda and Karima who are being honored with the Excellence in Education award this year–very well deserved!
A few notes to get you rolling:
1) Child Abuse Prevention lessons are supposed to be completed by Wednesday (end of April). Please be sure they are completed no later than Friday, and email me when you have completed the lessons. Thanks!
2) Regarding volunteers for field trips. With the ability to sometimes leave early on field trips due to the bus arriving early, let’s be REALLY clear with parents about what time you need them ready to go. You could say something to the effect of “The bus is scheduled for 9:30am, however some times it arrives early and we are able to leave earlier. So, please arrive no later than 9am in case we can leave early.”
3) When’s the last time you checked UKG? If it’s been a while please do so ASAP. There are some mini observations that have not been signed off on. Please be sure you are checking UKG regularly. Also, I’ll be finishing up mini observations in the next week or two and then moving on to Teacher Self Reflections–more info soon.
4) A few calendar dates to explain:
May 1 (this Thursday): Summit Theater group is bringing their production of Don’t Let Pigeon Drive The Bus. We’ll start at 8:30am
May 13: Children’s Museum of Central Oregon will be here with a bevy of hands on science. Classes will rotate through, schedule coming in the near future.
May 23: Summit High Jazz Choir will drop in to share their craft. 11:45am (we’ll need to switch up Kinder Enrichment for that day). 30-45 minutes.
Also, just an FYI, Ian will be doing some singing with K-2 and Grade 4 in the month of May. We’re hoping he’ll bring some singing to Community Time as well.
5) Just FYI-due to the upcoming auction we have moved Teacher Appreciation Week to the week of May 19 so you can be fully appreciated with no distractions!
6) On Monday I plan to join both Grade 3 and Grade 4 for a little while out at Suttle Lake. Brad will be here from 10:30-2:30pm to help out.
7) Just a reminder that the auction is coming up soon–May 10. As always, you are not required to be there but I sure do love seeing you there and having few laughs. This year’s theme is Under the Palms-think Hawaiian/Florida cringe/tropical leasure.
Here’s to a great week ahead!
Andy
April/May
