Photos from the Field
A couple of pictures from the RISE and Trooper Academy students competing against WA HI last Saturday. Very cool to see the excitement, proud parents and comrade!!
This group was honored at the School Board Tuesday Evening for the "We All Belong Award."
Nuts-n-Bolts
1. As you may remember, Garrison needed to switch from NEs to Fs so we were aligned with both Pioneer and WA HI. Pam Jacobson, guru of Skyward, helped with this transition. This was her email that she sent on Monday. Just making sure you have seen it. Not all gradebooks transition; there are still some NEs so I will follow up with you tomorrow.
Good afternoon Garrison teachers,Pam Jacobson
2. If you are seeing this email: Vector Training, K-12 Edition Online Training don't archive or delete it. You do need to do the online training.
3. We will not show GNN on Wednesdays based on these results:
4. Don't forget to write a sticky note or two to a colleague who has been a 'gift' to you through laughter, support, etc and leave it in their folder in the office. :D
5. SHOUT OUT to SHANNON, STEPHANIE P and BETH for putting together a FABULOUS time at Quirk last Friday! Laughter, mingling and terrific food made for a great evening! THANK YOU!!
6. We will keep updating the iReady lessons. Multiple students have turned in cards and tickets. If a student has completed their 8 lessons they can turn their card into the office where we are keeping them.
7. A little over 300 students were able to participate in the NO TARDY HOT COCOA celebration. This was double what we had last month. Whoop!! Whoop!!
8. Have you added your CSAs to the calendar? Please do so before break.
9. Our building will be housing Garrison Night School beginning in January. From 3:30-9:00PM our building is hopping with events and people. PLEASE make sure your classrooms are locked. I am going to ask Mike Kay for additional custodial help for our crew. I am glad that our school can be the 'hub' for events. We want to maintain our facilities and also keep things safe and secure.
10. We will have "30 for 30" on Monday and Tuesday this next week. I will mention this on GNN.
11. Beginning in January, our "30 for 30" will be focused on 7th grade math students. Then in February our 6th grade students.
12. Book study participants: Please make sure you are updating the Jamboard and your turn your Self-Care Challenge Monday. If you are unable to complete these tasks, please let me know.
Something to Ponder
We have three more 'get-ups' before winter break!!Whether you’re spending your well-deserved break in the sun or snow, we (Scott and I) want to wish you the most relaxing festive season possible. Please allow yourself time to give yourself a pat on the back for all of your hard work and dedication this year. Happy holidays AND Merry Christmas!

When it snows, you have two choices: shovel or make snow angels.
