- We are proud to be adding a 6th Kindergarten session to accommodate for the large numbers in our current 5 classes. On top of that, our own Lisa Reeves will now be able to be full time here starting next Thursday! Please pass on your congrats to Lisa!
- Erling and I had the opportunity to check out the new and improved SARGS data system today. There are fabulous improvements and it is easier to use and much more intuitive than the previous version! Also, the old data system affectionately known as PADS is now retired and fully incorporated and enhanced within SARGS. Bring on the data reports, because they are live and at your fingertips. We will have full staff training on our October 8th LID day thanks to our own Crystal Widmann!
- Another great week and only one discipline referral! I am very proud of how well you all have been working to help kids continue their good choices marked by our Olweus Anti-Bullying and Anti-Harassment program. Keep your eyes focused for an upcoming training on Olweus to be determined soon!
- Thanks for the great work on our teaming and collaboration efforts this week. The team norms, SMART goals, and agenda plans are looking terrific! Don't forget to let Karen know when your team meetings are scheduled for Tuesdays!
- Finally, our classroom lines have never been better! KUDOS to you all for helping make every classroom a role model class! The compliments keep rolling in and you ALL deserve the credit. Please pass this on to your students with my sincerest compliments!
