RES PRINCIPAL'S BLOG TO STAFF - Sun., April 30, 2017

Dear Re-Energized Staff,

Sadly, there are only 32 days of school left, so let's make them count! So let's learn from each other.    Baseball season has started, so for the staff meeting on Monday, please come prepared to share a 2-3 min. recap of a lesson/activity that really "hit home."  You're the experts - BATTERS UP!  I look forward to learning from you.  



KUDOS to STAFF Who "Stepped Up":  
  • Pam B. for attending the MTSS conference with me!
  • Patty C. for rallying the SBAC interims!
  • Pam B. for all her help with PBIS implementation for fidelity!  
Important Items to Know:   

Literacy Coaching - This will occur Wed., May 3 for Gr. 1-6.  Please check out the Google Doc that was shared with you for the expected agenda.   Please check out the Google schedule of it as well.

P.E. News - We congratulate Greg Labella on his pending retirement at the end of this school year. The School Board accepted his retirement letter with regrets. The position will be posted for all schools in the SU that "share" that position. We're happy for him, but sad for RES!

 Recess Clean-Up - Please, PLEASE have all toys placed in the "toy cabinet" at the end of recess and encourage the students who are here after-school to do the same.  

Parking Lot Sweep - The week of May 7, the town will be "cleaning the pavement" so if you are staying after school, please park on the dirt "loop" so your car won't affect or be affected by the cleaner. 

 Your Input Needed - Please check out this VIDEO I created about RES for my grad class. Comments and suggested are always welcome.

                    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!
