Monday AM Notes, September 2, 2024

It’s the first week! I always love the start of the school, so much promise lies ahead! A big thanks for the retreat last week, it felt so great to connect about some really important things at the heart of what we do!

A few notes to get you going these first 3 days:

*School-wide theme: Community…what else could it possibly be?!

1) Be sure you are up to date on the First Two Weeks

2) We will have Community Time on the first day at 8:45am. Prior to bringing your students down please spend a few minutes (if you can!) setting expectations. Last week we talked about the importance of focussing on this– let’s start with the following traits of good audience members (this can also easily transfer to outside performers/experts who come to school). Asking your class what makes a good audience member would be a great way to start the conversation, and they will likely nail every one of these!

Good audience members:
*Sit next to people they feel will also be good audience members
*Quietly listen when the hosts/performers are speaking, singing, or performing
*Let the hosts/performers know they appreciate their efforts by clapping and cheering when they are finished
*Politely ask their neighbors to be quiet if needed
*Leave their snacks and any toys in their classrooms

3) CT on Thursday this week will be hosted by K-2 teachers, on Friday by 3-5 teachers. Let’s set the tone by starting at 7:45am!

4) Please review Playground guidelines!

5) Reminder about our conversation regarding Choice Time: Students can stay in but must be in a classroom (more often than not, Frans’ room)

6) Here is the after school in-class pick up rotation for this year
Mondays: Kinder and Grade 1 families 
Tuesdays: Grades 3 and 5
Wednesdays: ALL outside 
Thursdays: Grades 2 and 4 families
Friday: ALL outside (Bread and Jam every other week–coming soon!)

Note: Kinder and Grade 1 families will do inside pick up every day the first week.

7) I sent you all an email about how we will approach gate duty–please read it!

8) Attendance: EAs will continue to take care of this each morning. Karima will do Kinder/Grade 5/Grade 4, Diane will do Grades 1/2/3. Please help them provide reasons for absences if you are in the know. Eventhough lunch is free we will still take a count every day. Thanks!

9) Afternoon duty help needed first day! Normally we don’t have afternoon Choice Time on Wednesdays, but we do on the first day. Since no one is assigned to duty on Wednesdays I kindly request that everyone try to be out on duty the first day–you’ll probably need the break and some fresh air! As a reminder, here’s the duty rotation–be sure to grab a vest and fanny pack, and have your keys and phone:K-2 Teachers (including Lauren) on Mondays and Thursdays, 3-5 Teachers and Haley on Tuesdays and Fridays.

10) Classroom agreements: Please make time this week to create classroom agreements with your classes, and find ways to tie it to Taking Care of Self/Others/Place.

11) As a reminder, Specials (Enrichment, PE) and Invitations start next week.

12) You will be provided with some paper work for each student to take home on the first day (including a Camp Amity permission slip). Please be sure it goes home and that you let parents know to expect it and to sign and return forms ASAP. Please collect and track the Camp Amity permission slips as they come in, and keep them in the folder. Please also collect all other forms and pass them along to Patti and she will track them.

13) Just FYI, a message about birthday treats went home to parents last week. It outlines the decision we made last year to discontinue treats in favor of other, more lasting ways of celebrating.

14) Speaking of treats…we’ll get Cafe Amity and Bread and Jam up and running in the next few weeks.

Monday AM Notes, June 17 2024

Well, we made it! Time always moves so quickly at the end and so much has happened in the last few weeks of school–thanks for all the fun and celebrations, the community feel has been amazing!

I can’t end the year without sharing my deepest gratitude for all of you. This is a special group of people and I couldn’t feel more fortunate to do the work we do together. The children of Amity are so lucky to have you in their lives, loving them, inspiring them, guiding them, and being there for them in some of their most challenging moments. You are a truly extraordinary, compassionate, funny, silly, inspiring group of people and I am so proud to be a part of this team.

A very few notes to get you going:
1) Invitation Bonanza today. 3 rounds: 9-9:30, 10-10:30, 12-12:30. Be sure you have signed up: Invitations June 17

2) Memory Book signing on Tuesday starting at 10am. A couple notes on this:
*We talked about not using sharpies as they end up making a big mess, and no signing of clothing. Please review expectations prior to signing time, this will help to avoid books being defaced (we’ve struggled with this in recent years!)
*Best to have your own class do their signing of each other’s books prior to the 10am start time.

3) I owe all the classes popsicles on the last day for their stewardship efforts at Aspen Hall–they did a good job cleaning up after themselves. Let’s do this at 12:45pm and then send ’em home.

4) Please let me know when you are done with your Grows and Glows so I can do a quick read through before you print-just another set of eyes looking for anything you may have overlooked. Mostly I’ve been fixing minor formatting things.

5) Let’s meet at BBC at 2:30pm on Tuesday. This will give you a little time to tie up loose ends after school and perhaps keep you from having to come back!

Upcoming
June 17: Invitation Bonanza
June 18: Memory Books from 10-11, popsicles at 12:45, out at 1pm.
June 18: Staff gathering at BBC, 2:30pm

Here’s to a great last 2 days!
Andy

Monday AM Notes, June 10 2023

It’s the last full week of school! Lots of fun ahead this week and I’m excited for all the festivities!

In the spirit of gratitude, I cannot thank you all enough for pulling off what by all accounts was an amazing family BBQ! Thanks for all the extra efforts in my absence, I am truly grateful!

A few notes to get you rolling:
1) More than anything be sure you are keeping an eye on the Last 2 weeks 2023-24 notes–there’s a lot to keep track of and it should all be on this calendar. If there is something missing or you’ve added events for the week please update this calendar so we are all aware. Things really pick up on Wednesday and keep rolling!

2) For the Volunteer Tea we’ll have the EAs each supervise 2 classrooms so you can free yourself up for 15 minutes to come down and share your appreciations for our amazing volunteers. Please plan something kiddos can do mostly independently during this time.

3) We’ll start the Grade 5 Community Celebration at 9:45 on Wednesday, with Choice time at 9:15-9:35. Please have kiddos bring down chairs.

4) SIW this week is a Teacher Work Day. While I am sure you are all keeping track of end of year stuff, here is what I have on my list of things that need to get done:
*Sign up for last week Invitations extravaganza: Invitations June 17
*Grows and Glows
*Share Gratitude!

5) Kickball on Thursday will start at 9am. Let’s have all students on and around the field to start the game–no students on the playground at the start. As in year’s past students will slowly drift into Choice Time as they lose interest in the game. Is there anyone (or any two) who don’t plan on playing (due to injury only😳) who would be willing to supervise students as they make their way to the playground?

6) Water Play on Friday, 1:30-2pm. Water truck and sprinklers! Please be sure to communicate this to families so students come with dry clothes to put on if they want. High of 72 predicted for Friday.

Upcoming (also keep track of last 2 weeks activities: Last 2 weeks 2023-24)
June 11: Grade 4 Lava Lands/Cave
June 12: Grade 5 Celebration, 9:45-11am
June 12: SIW, out at 1:00pm

Monday AM Notes, June 3 2024

New School-Wide Theme: Gratitude…this shouldn’t be too hard to get into!

It’s June…I can’t believe we are already here! We have just over 2 more full weeks to go, let’s really enjoy and appreciate this time of year!

Before the notes for this week, I need to let you know that my dad is being discharged from his rehab facility this Thursday–it’s great news, of course, but they are sending him home in a wheelchair which will present some significant challenges. I will be heading to LA on Wednesday to make final preparations at the house for my dad’s return and then pick him up on Thursday. I’ll take the weekend to help my folks settle in with the hope that I will return late Sunday night or early Monday morning. So, I will be out Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Brad will be here Thursday and Friday and will stick around on Thursday to help out at the BBQ. I love this time of year with the kids and all of you and I’m super disappointed to miss even a moment of it! Thanks once again for your understanding and support.

A few notes to get you rolling:
1) Gratitude is our new theme and I think we chose this one well in terms of the time of year. The end of the year can truly be a wonderful time of reflection, and a perfect time to acknowledge and express gratitude for all that has been shared throughout the year. Please take time in the next 2 weeks to tap into this theme with your kiddos, and be sure to share with parents as well.

2) Camp Amity Monday and Tuesday! We leave at 9:30am and busses should be pulling up along Broadway.

3) Staff Meeting on Tuesday at 2:45pm. Ray’s room. Add to the agenda here: Staff Meetings 23-24

4) The final Cafe Amity of the year is this Wednesday–Grade 5 hosts for the last time!

5) Camp Fire has invited the Bend Fire Dept for a visit on Wednesday after school. They will be blocking off the parking lot from 2-3pm for a truck to pull in. Be sure not to park in the lot if you have somewhere you have to go before 3pm.

6) BBQ on Thursday, 5-7pm. Please arrive early to help with set up and to get the grills fired up and ready to go. There are always little things that need to get done before the show starts. New Kinder families (for next year) will be joining us!

7) SIW this week is a Teacher Work Day. While I am sure you are all keeping track of end of year stuff, here is what I have on my list of things that need to get done:
*Sign up for last week Invitations extravaganza: Invitations June 17
*Grade 5 gift
*Grows and Glows
*Share Gratitude!

Upcoming (also keep track of last 2 weeks activities: Last 2 weeks 2023-24)

2) On Monday Grades 1/3/4/5 are going to Mary Poppins@Caldera, 9:15-11:15.

3) Staff meeting on Tuesday at 2:45pm, Ray’s room. We’ll talk about the Grade 5 gift (come with ideas!), Grows and Glows, ideas for the last week (and the 2 days after that), bowling, and more. Any agenda items? Add them here: Staff Meetings 23-24

9) With the change in weather most of you are starting to open your windows throughout the day to bring in the fresh Spring (summer?) air. After you all left on Friday I noticed windows still open in 4 of 6 classrooms. Often these open windows go unnoticed and could potentially be left open all night (and weekend). Please take a moment at the end of each day to make sure windows are closed and locked. Thanks!

Monday AM Notes, May 6 2024

School-wide theme: Perseverance! Aka, we got this!

Greetings All!
I hope you had a fantastic weekend. Big thanks to those of you who made it to the auction on Saturday, always great to have you there! What a fun night–and quite successful both as a social gathering and fundraiser!

I know Monday AM is not the greatest time to share a link but this was a good, quick read about 3 Modes of Thinking. Even if you can’t read it now, click on it so it creates a new tab that you can get back to later.

A few notes to get you going:
1) SIW is in-house this week. We’ll meet to chat about a few things but the bulk of this time will be for you to use as you need. 1:30 in Brian’s room.

2) Time is elusive at this point in the year so be sure you have plans for getting Memory Books and Glows/Grows done! There will also be some SIW time on May 29 to work on these.

3) Please send portraits home with parents on your inside pick up day this week.

4) Please take a moment to remind kiddos about Choice Time expectations–outside or in a classroom. It worked very nicely after our meeting last week, so thank you!

5) Thanks to those of you who have finished your Self Reflection in UKG! If you have not done so, please do first thing this week. Also please be sure you are checking UKG regularly and completing tasks. There are still a few of you who simply need to sign off on some documents to keep the work flow moving. Thanks!

6) We need to get the word about the levy out to parents. Please share the following link in your communications this week: BLP Levy 2024. I’ll also be sharing it with parents, but the more the better on this one! While we can’t “advocate” for supporting the levy we can certainly get informational materials out. We need this!

7) Officially it’s Teacher Appreciation Week, but due to the auction we’ve pushed it to next week–be prepared to be showered with love!

8) The last day of school is now June 18th. Traditionally we get together for a drink or two after school on the last day and I’m hoping we can keep the tradition going. Please do all you can to block off that time so we can celebrate the end of the year together.
