Daisy Friends,
Hope that you enjoyed the delightful weather over the weekend!
I so appreciate everyone who stepped up to help with duties, coverage, etc., last Friday when we had ten staff members absent. Your flexibility is so appreciated!
As we start Week #6 with our students, here are a few highlights:
- Grade-Level Team Meetings will take place for grades PK, K and 3 this week. (I will reach out to PK & 3 for another possible meeting day as I have a conflict on Tuesday with a TEAM Facilitator Meeting.)
- Wednesday., Oct. 6, 3:15-4:15 pm--Faculty Meeting: I will update certified staff members re: Educator Evaluation Flexibilities, which PDEC approved last week and we'll discuss goals and SLO's.
- Thursday., Oct. 7, will feature Early Dismissal for Students at 1 pm and Afternoon PD for Certified Staff. From 1:15-3:15 pm, certified staff members will have time to work on SLOs in teams; as well as other previously-scheduled PD (Bridges Math, EL Newcomers) for specific staff members.
- Friday, Oct. 8, will be Autism Awareness Day for Staff & Students. More information to come, but please note that this is an Awareness Day and donations will NOT be collected. Those participating are encouraged to wear BLUE or other Autism apparel that you may have.
- October is also Down Syndrome Awareness Month as well as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We'll do our usual awareness for these causes as we have in the past, with more information to come, in this very busy month of October!
- As always, please share weekly updates and newsletters that you send to your students' families, with me, as an FYI. Also, I would like to feature some of your highlights in regular updates to all families.
- Monday, Oct. 11, is a HOLIDAY in recognition of Columbus Day.
- Wednesday, Oct. 13, 7-8 pm, will be the first PTO Meeting of the school year. It will be a combination in-person (limited to 25 people in the cafe) meeting/virtual meeting via Google Link. Please look for information to be sent home with your students (and for you) on Monday, Oct. 4.
