Hey All!
I hope you had a fantastic Spring Break, always a welcome interlude at this time of year! I had an incredible trip to the eastern Sierras and got my fill of stunning vistas, ice cold streams, and frozen lakes! A few photos:
A HUGE congrats to Haley, Skylar, and Sonny as they welcome baby Jones to the world!
A few notes to get you rolling…
1) Lockdown Drill tomorrow (Tuesday)-9:00am. Please take time on Monday to chat with your class and practice.
2) SIW this week-we’ll dive back into our book study. We’ll also have a Staff Meeting as part of SIW–it’s been a while since we had a nuts and bolts meeting.
3) Local author and musician Dennis McGregor from Sisters will be here on April 2 to entertain K-2. 9:45-10:40am.
4) Reminder that Child Abuse Prevention lessons need to be completed by the end of April. Please remember to notify parents about when you plan to teach the lessons. I’ll resend the link to the lessons in a separate email.
5) Bree from BEAT will be working with Grades 3-5 during Enrichment starting this Friday, April 3.
6) It’s state testing season for Grades 3-5–wish them all luck!
7) The annual auction is May 2, just over a month away. Each class has a parent (or parents) who are in charge of the class art project for the auction. The parent(s) should be reaching out soon to schedule time to work on the project. As always, thanks in advance for your flexibility in finding the time to accommodate the project!
8) Acting Superintendent Lisa Birk (Dr Cook is out for a bit caring for a family member) will host an update for all District staff on Tuesday, March 31, with two 30-minute virtual sessions:
Session 1 – 3:05 – 3:35 p.m. (LINK to join Session 1)–let’s meet in Brian’s room if interested.
Session 2 – 3:50 – 4:20 p.m. (LINK to join Session 2)
9) Last but not least, y’all know that Brad is filling in for Haley for the rest of the year. Huge thanks Brad!
