Hope that everyone is enjoying a wonderful holiday weekend!
Thanks to all for such a great first week of school! In the first three days with students, we saw bus schedules drastically improving with buses clearing much closer to reasonable times in the afternoon. Many thanks to all who came out to meet buses in the morning, especially in personally escorting preschoolers and kindergarteners in from the buses. We will continue this for the upcoming week and then we will settle in with those scheduled on our duty schedule, along with some additional support for our youngest students. The extra after-school help, especially on our first day of school with rainy day dismissal was much appreciated as well!!!
- Grade-level Meetings will start this week, according to this schedule:
- Tuesday, Preschool, 9:15-10:00 am
- Tuesday, Grade 1, 10:15-11 am

- All grade-level meetings will take place in my office. Classroom teachers and special education teachers working with each grade level are expected to attend and specialists and support staff are invited to attend as schedules allow. Representatives from the special area team will be invited in at future meetings.
- At this first meeting, we will discuss how students are settling in; plans for Open House Breakfasts for next week for K-4; and the sharing of Data Sheets. I will share a Google doc agenda with each team.
