#thirtydaysofthankfulness and #thirtydaysofthankful is something that we are doing daily on our Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook page, as well as, sending to our parents and families!  I truly encourage you to JUMP ON BOARD and post, Tweet, say, share, shout, or write something you are thankful for each day.  Help take a moment to stop and give thanks.  It truly puts things into perspective!

In addition to participating in #thirydaysofthankfulness, check out THIS ARTICLE about trying something new in your classroom for 30 days and what that means for your students!

We have had a few people ask for subs for half or full day to visit others or collaborate (yay!) and we are HAPPY to help make this happen!  Just let us know that you are interested so we can ensure that a sub will be reserved! We currently have 2 more reserved for November 17th so FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED!

Thank you for those who are remembering to show up for your assigned yard duty.  We are having MANY issues and many areas are being left unsupervised, especially after school. PLEASE show up so that students are supervised and we don't have to search for you!  Thank you!

While Hour of Code is coming December 5-11, MANY of our classes are already coding on a daily, if not weekly, basis!  This is a fantastic opportunity for students to learn programming skills and more!  Sign your class up HERE and check out all of the different options for students!!

We will be updated all ARs (Administrative Regulations) and BPs (Board Policies) in the Google Drive that was shared with all at the beginning of the year.  HERE it is again (link or cut and paste): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B80v0QmB4OPhR0wtN3U3Ry1RRzA
