Daisy Daily for the Week of April 27, 2020

Daisy Faculty & Staff,

Thanks to ALL who contributed photos and videos for our inspirational Staff Video for our students and families.
The result is fabulous and, hopefully, will help to motivate our students and families to sustain their dedication as we enter Week #5 of Distance Learning!!!  I believe it's also providing a boost to us as well!!!

Many, many thanks to Lisa and Alicia for all of their dedicated work in putting this amazing video together!

DAISY STAFF VIDEO APRIL 2020

I hope that you all enjoyed a restful weekend andwere able to take in some of the beautiful weather on Saturday.

As we enter Week #5 of Distance Learning, please know:

• We will hold virtual Grade Level and Special Area Team Meetings this week.  I was able to grant the days/times as requested by teams and these are listed on our Daisy Staff Google Calendar at:

• DAISY STAFF GOOGLE CALENDAR

• All important dates are also on our Staff Calendar.  Please note that Daisy Leadership Team Meeting will take place the following week, on the "off week" when Grade Level Meetings don't meet.  Just trying to make meetings more managable as our calendar is filling up with virtual PPT meetings as well.
• Due to staff generosity through "Dress Down Funds" and other donations, we were able to distribute $200 work of grocery gift cards to some of our families in need.  If anyone would like to donate additional grocery gift cards, please contact Corey Ehrlich, who is coordinating this.
• Originally, we had "Bus Driver Appreciation Day" scheduled for this week.  If you have students who would like to show some love to their bus driver (electronically), please encourage them to send an email (with attachment, if necessary) to our office staff and me.  I will also reach out to families regarding this and I will get these messages to our Bus Drivers.
• If you hear of a family of one of your students who is in crisis, please contact Marilyn Brown, Corey Ehrlich and me, as we will work virtually to assist the family, as well as to enlist the help of our School Crisis Team.
• Please continue inviting me to live team meetings and small group sessions and I will attend as many as possible.

Thank you again and again for everything that you are doing for our students in these challenging times.  It is because of YOU that they are motivated to do their very best with Distance Learning.

I appreciate and love you all!!!

Warmly,

Ruth
