RES PRINCIPAL'S BLOG TO STAFF - Sun., Oct. 7, 2018


Dear Considerate Staff,




  • Paitra for teaching a cooking class in the afterschool program.
  • Glen for helping out last Monday when we were shorthanded.  
  • Lisa and Amy for helping cover Web of Life so Ms. Collins doesn't miss the whole week! 
    Important Items to Know:

    Monday's In-service -  Here is the LINK to the agenda.  We will be at WUHS in the Auditorium and surrounding rooms until 11 AM.  Even though tomorrow's topics may be challenging, I am certain that Reading Elementary Staff are professionals and will be able to think outside the box with innovative, creative ideas.   Support staff do not need to attend.  

    Afternoon Session:  Building-based - 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm

    *Lunch plans vary, please check with building administration for details

    Profile of a Graduate Community Forum - PLEASE consider attending this.  This is an important presentation about the shifts that are occurring in education and your input is important as we build our strategic plan.  Dinner is served from 5:30 - 6 PM, childcare is provided, and the presentation will be from 6 - 7:30 PM.  

    WCUD Board Meeting - The WCUD Board will be meeting here Mon., Oct. 15, 2018.  The building will be open for tours by the Board.  Teachers are encouraged to have their room open and ready for a tour.  Staff are welcome to attend but it is not required.  

    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! 

    Collaboration Time - I have scheduled a few collaboration times for this Tuesday.  Please respect folks in their collaboration time by not interrupting them during their reserved time.  2:45 - 3:00 PM - Kathi Faulkner & Jen Mayo in Ms. Mayo's room.   2:45 - 3 PM - Pam B. & Cathy K. in Ms. B.'s room.   Patty will not have had planning time at Web of Life so this hour will be her planning time since she previously collaborated on her time with her 6th grade colleagues.

    Fire Prevention Presentation - The Reading Fire Dept. will be here Tues., Nov. 16, to make a presentation to classes.  PK-2 will be from 8 - 8:40 AM.  Gr. 3-6 will be from 8:45 - 9:15 AM.  The presentation will occur outside and in the multi-purpose room.  I will reschedule with your class if your library time is affected by this presentation.
