I hope you had a great weekend. I also hope you got some rest and relaxation since this week starts off with a bang with two twelve hour days! I hope your conferences go well and provide you with a useful opportunity to partner with parents. I’ll try to keep my cell phone close during those evenings, if you need something please don’t hesitate to text or call me; whether your need is a cup of coffee or another person to sit in on a conference I would be glad to help you out.
Please keep Beth W’s mother in your thoughts and prayers this week as she suffered a stroke on Saturday. Beth will be gone most of the week to be with her. I’ll be talking to Beth on Monday and will update you with her mom’s condition.
Thank you so much for your hard work at the faculty meeting last week. You continue to amaze me how you dig into that data and work together to come out with terrific information. I really do see us doing a lot more of this type of work in the future and I can promise you that the end result will be seen in student achievement. That type of collaboration where people trust each other enough to be willing to look at strengths and weakness, then collaborate to come up with innovative ways to help all students learn is of great value. The PDC committee is initiating the use of Professional Learning Communities across the district; this will help us begin to create that type of culture. All of our efforts, whether it’s MTSS or transitioning to the Common Core will be so much more successful in that environment.
Principal’s club for the K-2 students will be Thursday, 3rd and 4th grade principal’s club will be on Friday.
Hang in there; you’re in the home stretch!
Becca
