RES PRINCIPAL'S BLOG TO STAFF - Sun., April 8, 2018
Dear Hardworking RES Staff,
What a surprise that snow was Friday afternoon! Spring is working hard to arrive, looks like we'll have a warm spring break as the temps are supposed to hit 50 by the end of the week! There will be no blog next Sunday since it will be spring break! The next blog will be published Sun., April 22.
Though many of us welcome a "break," some students do not. Please keep that in mind this week and perhaps review your class behavior expectations. We are all tired and stressed, so remember to breathe and take a moment so you respond rather than react particularly this week.
Technology Update - Due to lengthy conversations and a visit by Comcast on Sunday, the Internet issues should be better on Monday. Raph and the high school tech specialist will be here Monday afternoon to review our hardware and tech systems.
Report Cards - Grades should be in this week. Report cards will go home this Wed., April 11. The principal will review them Tuesday, please don't print them out before the end of day Tuesday. Thank you.
EAP - Just a reminder to all that we have the free benefit of EAP. It's a time of changes and stress, so don't hesitate to reach out and access this benefit! There are fliers around the building with the phone number as well. This is a FREE service available to ALL staff. Life gets downright hard, and sometimes we need to talk to someone objective about it. It's easy to call and the appointments are flexible. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, please reach out. Otherwise, it has a tendency to "ooze" out on the students and those around you. We care!
