NUTS-n-BOLTS

3. Shout out to Beth! Thank you for getting the cards for Mark and Salvador as well as Salvador's cake. Appreciate it!!

5. Flu shots available tomorrow from 10:30-1:00 for staff members
6. Mid-quarter progress reports emailed out to parents are due Oct. 3rd
7. Tuesday, Oct. 1st the CEE Survey will be launched to staff, students and parents. The survey takes about 12 mins. It does give us good feedback; what can we improve on and what are we doing well. Wade will send the link out on Monday the 30th. The survey will be open from Oct 1-25th. I would love 100% of Garrison Staff (certs, paras, custodians, cooks, secretaries, etc. to take the survey. If we can get 100% coffee and donuts? Or something else....no...I can't give everyone a day off. :D)
FYI
1. Carina and I will be out of the building at Principal PD on Tuesday the 1st from 9:15-11:15
2. "Coffee w/the Principal" will be on Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd"
Something to Ponder
If this quote was up in your classroom, how do you think students would respond? As adults, Fridays can be tough days because we are tired and looking forward to the weekend so what can we do to help our colleagues feel valued? Give them a lift no only on Friday but each day?
When adults feel valued not only does it reflect in their work but it trickles down to the students. "A positive work environment is the most critical element of ensuring that students fell safe, connected, valued, and primed for success." -Jimmy Casas
I'd love a chance to discuss the CEE survey. I have some ideas about parent surveys and their effectiveness and how we can get solid feedback from parents. May i share sometime?
