February 5, 2016


Happy February!

We have a busy yet short month upon us from benchmarks, to parent conferences (invite only), to two holidays, to the Academic Olympics!  Hang on to your hats!

We are entering SBAC/CAASPP testing season and we will be reviewing the teacher testing administration guide (quickly) at our February faculty meeting.  Please review it HERE so that we don't have to read it slide by slide and we can sign off on the affidavit.



I know I have published this before and it's WORTH the read again.  Take a look at these 5 Tips for Avoiding Teacher Burnout so that we get to see your smiling face each day!  Want some ideas on Time Management skills so that you don't get burned out?  Check out these EASY IDEAS and suggestions to help you along the way!  Email Nelda Taylor, our Ed Tech, to help you with some of these as she will sit side by side with you and go over some of these!

Speaking of that, check out THIS LINK for 50 of the BEST Teaching and Learning Apps to use in the classroom!


Have you checked out our Fish Moments?

BE THERE: Thanks to Carol, Sandy, Dave M., Lynn, Julie, Cristina, Don, Susan, Katherine, Joe, and Lacey for having their students take the elective interest survey! It has helped in planning for next year! Thanks to Kevin for helping me with the final eval training on Thursday! Thank you to ALL OF THOSE that have been covering each other's classes due to illness. So appreciated!
PLAY: Thanks to Dave F and his leadership crew for planning a Spirit Week! Thanks to Elizabeth for spearheading Great Kindness Challenge!
MAKE THEIR DAY: I just personally want to thank ALL of you from the bottom of my heart for the efforts you are putting in to support our kids. We have had a HUGE increase in parent requested meetings/IEPs/504s/SSTs and more. Often, they bypass me and you and contact DO directly (which is always directed back to me and then to you) and it can be frustrating. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO PATIENT!!
Mark your calendars for Saturday April 30th for the Spring Fling (you HAVE to come! It's SO much fun!) and Saturday, June 4th for end of the year social (staff and adults only) at Carol's house to celebrate our end of the year party! We can't wait to try out that awesome pizza oven! Also, we are looking at Thursday, August 11 for our staff back to school retreat! Sue has reserved the clubhouse at her complex (complete with pool and spa!) for the day! It will be for buy back only and you will be fed!! Save the date!
CHOOSE YOUR ATTITUDE: Okay. For real. What is going on with the germs and COOTIES around here?!?!?! 
LET'S STAY POSITIVE PEEPS! KEEP ON SMILING!
