RES PRINCIPAL'S BLOG TO STAFF - Sun., Jan. 21, 2018

Dear Tireless RES Staff,

KUDOS to STAFF Who "Stepped Up":  

• Jen for helping out with Gr. 5-6 students that were not skiing so I could help at Ski Runners.  
• Señora for helping with lunch duty on Wed.!
• Pam for attending the PBIS Meeting! 

Important Items to Know:   

Ski Runners - You would have been so proud of the  students on Friday at Ski Runners.  Their courage and joy abounded!  We got there a little late last week, so this week we want to make sure students are packed up BEFORE they go to recess.  Lunch will run as normal.  The option of indoor recess for those who are skiing will apply on Friday as well.

Website -  If you haven't redone your website, please consider doing so and make sure your dates are up-to-date as soon as possible.  The web is a great way to advertise our school - outdated websites don't help.  If you need help doing so, I'm happy to sit down with you and show you how how to use the new Google Sites which are quite easy.  

Special Ed. Services - In the future we will be posting in the blog weekly any changes to special education services for the upcoming week.  We recognize that consistency for students is crucial, but sometimes a change is unavoidable in order to have the mandated IEP meetings, etc. Your flexibility and understanding is appreciated.  

Report Cards - All specials teachers should have their grades in by Friday, Jan. 26.  I will be reviewing all report cards before they are sent home.  Please let me know when I can review them online or give me hard copies if you'd prefer.  Report cards go home at the end of the day Wed., Jan. 31.  Please make sure your comments and grades are in agreement.  

Mama Mia Raffle - Please send me something to put in the blog about your basket.  Thanks for encouraging your students to bring in the needed items for your class basket.
