RES PRINCIPAL'S BLOG TO STAFF - SUN., JUNE 10, ,2018

Dear Unbelievable RES Staff,

The last four days can sometimes seem like the longest, but try and "cherish" each sweet moment with your students and each other this week.  We will not all walk together again in the same way!  Remember to BREATHE!!!  Here's an interesting Edutopia article about end of year stress and some helpful suggestions.




KUDOS to STAFF Who "Stepped Up":  
  • Pam B. for all her help at the All Day Field Trip!
  • Hilder for all her help with the after school program!
  • Lisa Kaija for helping out Saturday with the Bike fundraiser!  
Important Items to Know:

Grades/Report Cards - All specials teachers should have their grades into VCAT by Friday, June 8.  Teachers should have their grades in by Monday, June 11 at  3 PM so I can review them before they are printed.

Field Day Schedule - Here is the schedule Rose plans for this Tuesday!  

Summer Packets - If you are sending home "summer packets" for students - please put a copy in the principal's mailbox.  

Dismissal Wed. & Thurs. - Since we have to leave earlier than originally planned due to Woodstock's bus schedule, we will not have snack or recess as our lunch is going to have to be at 10:45 AM.  If you want to take your class out, please take a radio and inform the office.

Retreat Friday - The agenda will be coming out on Thursday, but you can expect it to have a huge chunk of time for the schedule.  If you have any requests, please send them to me.  I will be presenting a draft schedule on Friday.  

Summer Maintenance - There will be many things done over the summer, including mag logs being installed on classroom doors.  Please check with Cathy before coming in during July and August to make sure you can enter the school.  

Library Reestablishment - Over the summer we will have a committee come in and redo the library if that is going to happen.  Students should NOT move books at this point.     I will explain more after Monday evening and the WCUD Board meeting.
