New this month for Student of the Month
Trying to add a
little to the parent luncheon, so starting this month, the pencils and
certificates will be handed out during the luncheon so parents can hear and see
child getting this recognition. Please
continue to on with whatever you typically do in the classroom to celebrate
this achievement. In addition, please
feel free to come by and greet parents when they are in the gym for lunch. Parents love to make that connection with
you.
Friday,
January 17th
Teachers, we have an
Instruction and Learning Day in the commons on this day. Since we did not
have the opportunity to have our DIBELS discussions today we have worked it
into the agenda for Friday. Start time will be at 1:15 pm and we will
provide lunch for you. What do you need? Yourself and your laptop
for the latter portion of the day. Don’t forget to sign up on the PRODEV
website beforehand.
