From Tammy and Karen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We just wanted to take a moment to extend appreciation for you and they way in which we will all be working together to navigate this next season of staffing with grace and understanding. To reiterate what Lisa said, it is important that we are all the face of optimism and positivity as we eventually roll out information to staff and support the work moving forward. Confidentiality is of the utmost importance, so when in doubt of whether or not you can say something, please reach out to us for clarification before saying anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karen and I will be reaching out to get some time with each of you as we get your staffing plans. We will be delivering them to you at that meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Updated Conference Guidance for Teachers<\/strong>: Below is a link to updated guidance for teachers on how they can conference with staff. This was discussed with BEA and you all, so the hope is it provides clarity to the concerns. Not a lot is different, just said differently to hopefully add clarity. Please share with staff and reach out with any questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeat–Mark Your Calendar!<\/strong> We are looking forward to time together with you all on March 18th at the Education Center. We will start at 8 and work together until 11:15 a.m. Afterwards, we invite you to stay for lunch with us in the Board Room. You will be working with your PLC groups and spending 90 minutes getting training on Amplify and 90 minutes starting your next cycle for our PLC work. We have learned a lot over our meetings together this fall and winter and are looking forward to applying some of these changes to our work together moving forward. We will share more information at our Horizontal Meeting next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
