Greetings Team!
I hope the long weekend treats you well. I’m sending this out early as we have a short, but very busy week next week and wanted to be sure you had all the info you needed as soon as possible.
A few notes to get you going:
1) No School Monday! MLK Day. I hope everyone is planning to honor Dr King this coming week, and it’s such a great connection to many of our themes this year–integrity, kindness, community, and so much more! Here are a few website that may be helpful:

2) SIW this week is Teacher prep. I would appreciate a few minutes of your time that day to talk about preparing for the Variety show on March 1. Can we gather at 3:15?
3) BINGO on Wednesday night starting at 5:30pm. We’ll need help setting up around 5:15–tables, etc. Dinner from 5:30-6, then BINGO from 6-7pm.
4) DIBELS on Wednesday morning. You know the drill, we’ll be pulling kids all morning.
5) A big thanks to all who have already taken the YouthTruth survey! If you haven’t done so yet, please do: ytsurvey.org/acestaff23
6) Thank you for your efforts to stay after community times with your classes to make sure the stage gets cleaned up. We’re still not 100% in this area and would appreciate everyone being mindful of this. Thanks!
7) Please remember to fill out your Eval/Goal setting document before we meet–thanks!
8) Trial run for inviting all parents to attend Community Time. During the week of January 23-27 we are going to do a trial run and see how things go. We will invite any and all parents to attend CT on any day they wish and we’ll see how we are able to accommodate this in the office with Raptor. It’s a trial run and we’re super hopeful it will go smoothly so we can include all parents, all the time. I will send out info to parents next week. Fingers crossed!
9) Haley returns next Tuesday, January 24 and will be here on Monday, January 23 in the afternoon to overlap with with Brad a little. Brad will also be here on Tuesday.
