School wide theme<\/strong>: Problem Solving

Greetings All!
I hope you had an amazing weekend. I was in Corvallis to celebrate the birthdays of both grand kids there. Birthdays are magic when you’re 2 and 5 years old–very joyous occasion! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few notes to get you rolling…<\/strong>

1) Playground–help needed!<\/strong> I have sent you all a copy of the playground expectations–it’s in your inbox. Please be sure to review these expectations and be prepared to help in enforcing them. There seems to be a lot of inconsistency right now and kiddos are getting conflicting messages (things that are said, and behaviors that are being ignored) and it makes it difficult to maintain a safe playground experience for all students. I think with a little more consistency we can keep things safer. Thank you for your support!

2) Grade 5 is off to Ryan Ranch\/Slough today

3) Can someone do Easy Dodgeball for Invitations? Dax has requested this. Thanks!

4) At SIW this week <\/strong>we’ll be diving into the next chapter of our neurodiversity book. Sara sent y’all an email last week.

5) Fire Drill<\/strong> on Thursday, October 16 at 10:30.

6) Harvest Festival is this Saturday<\/strong> from 4-7pm. Volunteer sign ups have gone out twice now (and I’ll send it again) and I’ll be posting paper copies in the hallway this week. Please share this information in your weekly note. We need volunteers! Thanks

7) Bread and Jam<\/strong> on Friday

8) Mural project<\/strong>-as you know, next week each of your classes will be helping to create a mural that will be hung over your doorway. This will happen during Enrichment time–the only ask of you is to reach out to families in your class to get a few volunteers to support the effort (during your Enrichment time). There will also be times for parents to come in and help create the community mural–as soon as those times are solidified I will share them with you and families! Very excited about the murals!

9) Please add a Staff meeting to your calendar on 11\/4. We have Amy Yellik from ESD coming to share some information related to our neurodivisity work. In exchange for this extra meeting, on 11\/5 our SIW will be shortened by an hour.
