RES PRINCIPAL'S BLOG TO STAFF - Sun., Sept. 23, 2018

Dear Steadfast Staff,




It's a full harvest moon on Monday!  Let's all take care of ourselves!

     KUDOS to STAFF Who "Stepped Up":  
  • The staff who kindly and patiently participated in the "Emergency Management" practices Tuesday after the Staff Meeting!  
  • The staff helping with Reading Runners!
  • Paitra for teaching a cooking class in the Afterschool program!
    Important Items to Know:

    Back to School Night - Some of you may be staying late Wed. for the Back to School Night.  In appreciation for your hard work and longer evening,  I will be providing a light dinner for the staff at 5 PM.  Please let me know if you will be eating so I can make sure I have enough.  Thanks!  

    Absences - Just a reminder to all that if you are going to be out for any reason, please fill out the blue "staff leave" request form and give it to Sherry.  The sooner she has for a sub, the better.  Here are the SUB procedures.   Call Sherry at home:  802- 886-3140 or her cell:  802-558-6885.   This call should be made before 9 pm the previous evening or that morning from 6 am to 6:15 AM.   If you wake up "ill AFTER 6:15 AM," please keep trying until you get confirmation that the message was received.  Please text Cathy at 802-779-5577.  The mornings are hectic and phone messages left on the answering machine can be delayed.  

    Library Books - Please have students return Library Books to the table in front of the library.  Reminders to them Monday afternoon to bring them Tuesday would be appreciated!  

    Action Research Time - This Tuesday, we will meet to discuss the next steps in our Action Research.  We will meet briefly as a whole group before breaking into groups for the remainder of the time.  

    Goals - Please complete your goals this week and meet with me to discuss.  Please take screenshots of it as you complete it.  Here's the link for the goal form - only teachers use this form apparently.  Many thanks to those who have already met with me.  

    Shh, Children Sleeping - It's a change this year that after 12:15 PM, there are pre-schoolers sleeping in the extended care program in the Pre-K classrooms.  If you are visiting Ms. B, please be aware of voice volume.  Upstairs, please be aware of the students sleeping below you.  Thanks for your help with this!  

    Blog Write-Ups - Please send me a short blurb for the blog outlining your units and anything that you might need for upcoming projects.  Thanks! 

    Weekend Visitors - If you visit the school over the weekend, please make sure all lights are turned off.  I was the last one to leave Friday and when I came in this morning (Sun.) at 10, the copier room light was on and the dishwasher room light was on in the kitchen.  Thanks for helping us save energy!
