RES PRINCIPAL'S BLOG TO STAFF - Sun., Jan. 22, 2017

Dear Loving Staff,

 I know many of you spent the weekend working on report cards.  Thank you!  Report cards will be printed Monday and go home on Wed.  I would like to review all report cards BEFORE they go home.  Specials teachers, please get your grades in by Monday at noon.  Thanks!  


KUDOS to STAFF Who "Stepped Up":  
  • Sherry for subbing in Pre-K when we were short a sub!
  • Elaine for being the staff point person and transport at Ski Runners.  
Important Items to Know:

Technology Survey - Please complete the attached for our Technology Committee ASAP.    https://goo.gl/forms/ljSrSBJ46nskdv8N2

New Students - On Monday, two students will be joining our school (but perhaps temporarily.)  The family is living with one of our student's families and is looking for affordable housing.  Camden will be in 2nd grade, and Linnie will be in the Kindergarten class.  

 Mindfulness - Begins Monday at school.  The schedule was sent to you last week.  Please be present with the instructor while she is in your class.  

 Guidance/Speech/O.T. Appointments - If a student has a scheduled time with the counselor, please excuse them at the allotted time even if you are doing something in the class that you believe they should stay for.  If there is an EST or IEP in place with that service time stipulated, we must adhere to those weekly appointments.  It is also not dependent on "good or bad" behavior.  It's a needed service or it shouldn't be in the plan.  Thanks for supporting the student and helping them catch up on whatever they might miss.  

 Afterschool Programs -  These continue this week.  Details can be found in the parents blog.  Many thanks to those of you who agreed to provide an after-school program - please check out this LINK.

Dear Dedicated Staff, It's hard to believe this is the last staff blog  of  the school year.  Thank you for taking the time  to read  it even though you are crazy busy with end of year items.   I want to commend those of you who are ALWAYS professional and focused on students, and kind and courteous to your colleagues and myself.  We all have an exhausting job, but it's time for a well deserved rest.   Change is always a challenge.  I applaud those of you who accept and welcome change with a  positive  attitude and as an opportunity for growth.  I hope you have a rejuvenating summer.  I'd love to have our returning staff over to my home for a cook-out in late August.   I'll be sending out an e-mail to those of you who check it.  I'll be in and out throughout the summer, so don't  hesitate  to text me if you have any questions.   We wish Beth Ann, Libbet, Greg, and Pam the best as they begin their next leg of life's journey!  You will be missed!
