Even if you can&#8217;t read it now, click on it so it creates a new tab that you can get back to later.<br><br><strong>A few notes to get you going:<\/strong><br>1) <strong>SIW is in-house<\/strong> this week. We&#8217;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&#8217;s room.<br><br>2) Time is elusive at this point in the year so be sure you have plans for getting <strong>Memory Books and Glows\/Grows<\/strong> done! There will also be some SIW time on May 29 to work on these. <br><br>3) Please <strong>send portraits home<\/strong> with parents on your inside pick up day this week.<br><br>4) Please take a moment to remind kiddos about <strong>Choice Time expectations<\/strong>&#8211;outside or in a classroom. It worked very nicely after our meeting last week, so thank you!<br><br>5) Thanks to those of you who have finished your <strong>Self Reflection in UKG<\/strong>! 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!<br><br>6) We need to get the word about the<strong> levy<\/strong> out to parents. Please share the following link in your communications this week: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/N8GQwQuf3QI\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/N8GQwQuf3QI\">BLP Levy 2024<\/a>. I&#8217;ll also be sharing it with parents, but the more the better on this one! While we can&#8217;t &#8220;advocate&#8221; for supporting the levy we can certainly get informational materials out. We need this!<br><br>7) Officially it&#8217;s Teacher Appreciation Week, but due to the auction we&#8217;ve pushed it to next week&#8211;be prepared to be showered with love!<br><br>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&#8217;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.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Upcoming<\/strong><br><strong>May <\/strong>7: Grade 5 walking field trip (all day)<br><strong>May 8<\/strong>: SIW (Staff meeting combo), In house @1:30pm<br><strong>May 10<\/strong>: Bread and Jam<br><strong>May 13<\/strong>: Grades 1\/3\/4\/5 Mary Poppins@Caldera, 9:30-11:15<br><strong>May 14<\/strong>: Staff Meeting, 2:45pm<br><strong>May 15:<\/strong> Cafe Amity, Kinder hosts<br><strong>May 15<\/strong>: SIW, Teacher Work Day<br><strong>May 15<\/strong>: DIBELS <br><strong>May 16<\/strong>: Grade 2 Think Wild walking field trip, 8:30-11:30 am<br><strong>May 16<\/strong>: Grade 5 Lava Lands<br><strong>May 1<\/strong>7: Grades K\/2 Mary Poppins@Caldera, 9:30-11:15<br><strong>May 21<\/strong>: Team Collaboration Time<br><strong>May 22<\/strong>: SIW, In house<br><strong>May 22-24<\/strong>: Grader 5 Coast Trip<br><strong>May 23<\/strong>: Grade 2 to High Desert Museum<br><strong>May 27<\/strong>: No School<br><strong>May 29<\/strong>: SIW, In house<br><strong>May 29<\/strong>: Kinder to Miller&#8217;s Landing<br><strong>May 30<\/strong>: Grade 1 Benham Falls East<br><strong>May 31:<\/strong> Summit High production of <em>The Real Story of the 3 Pigs<\/em> is coming to Amity, 8:30am.<br><strong>June 3\/4<\/strong>: Camp Amity!<br><strong>June 4<\/strong>: Staff Meeting (last one of the year!)<br><strong>June 5<\/strong>: Cafe Amity, Grade 5&#8217;s last cafe to host<br><strong>June 5<\/strong>: SIW, Teacher Work Day<br><strong>June 6<\/strong>: End of Year Community BBQ<br><strong>June 11:<\/strong> Grade 4 Lava Lands\/Cave<br><strong>June 12<\/strong>: FULL School Day, no early release<br><strong>June 13<\/strong>: Grade 5 Graduation<br><strong>June 18<\/strong>: Last day, 1pm release.
