SHOUT OUT to TEACHERS!!!! We hope you have enjoyed the little treats
this week as a small token of appreciation. Tomorrow, we have a grab and
go lunch coming from Jimmy Johns! Nobody knows what you do on a daily
basis until they walk in your shoes. Your flexibility, cooperation and
INNOVATION (some of you love that word. LOL) has been
An M A Z I N
G!!! You are able to conquer
anything that comes your way!!! Super heroes minus the cape! Thank you
for all you do!
Nuts-n-Bolts
1. Jimmy Johns
will be delivered around 10:50. We will have the lunches in the
office Isolation room to come grab and go.
2. We are excited about
the many postings for Garrison. We will be able to add social/emotional
and academic support that is so needed! The goal of the ELA and Math
positions is to help lower class size numbers in the CORE classes.
3. We have had some
parents who have wanted to watch their child play soccer in the Millennials
program. Alex and Will are coming up with a plan. During this time
we can have 25% capacity, people seated 3 feet apart and wearing masks.
In addition, we are not letting in older brothers and sisters who may be from
the high schools because that is a supervision issue AND our secretaries cannot
keep open
4. Thank you
for your ideas, questions and input during yesterday's Zoom meeting as well as
on the posters in the Commons. We will summarize, type up and get them
back out to you.
5. There is a
little treat in your mailbox. HAPPY TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK!!
Something to Ponder
Some of the work we did
in our staff collaboration was around the social/emotional well-being of
students. Our students have suffered in different degrees trauma from this
past year. More than ever we need to understand that their behavior
is not personal but trying to tell us something. This article again
validates what students need: relationships, autonomy and competence.
Successfully Educating Children Who Have Experienced Toxic
Stress
Hope you find a gold
nugget.

Little Humor
I needed a little Ron Swanson. Sometimes this is how we feel
in the office when asking students, "What happened? Do you know who
did it?"
