Friday Focus - March 10, 2017

A principal friend shared this song with me that has become my favorite song...


There is so much meaning in this song for different situations in life, but I feel like it says so much about our work.  I recognize how hard you all work to make our school the best place for our students...
There are some long days with extra meetings or extra work you take home, because you want to be fully planned and ready for the next day for what your students need.
You might face road blocks or rough spots with a student that is challenging you with behavior or isn't getting it academically, but you keep responding by trying something different that might work. And no matter what, you just keep doing great things for our students. You each have a special passion for your work with kids and together we make an incredible team. We are never alone.  So...keep fighting the good fight! : )

Events Next Week:

Monday - start of the cutest pet contest
 NO staff meeting : ) Instead, please take a few minutes to complete this survey to be used for my professional reflection/evaluation component: Principal Survey

Friday - Staff PD Day (agenda will be sent out by Monday-plan for lots of team/work time)


"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
*I know everyone is getting excited for Spring break...both you and the students!! Let's try to remember to keep things as normal as possible to keep the students as normal as possible.  If you are counting down the days, then they probably will too and it may result in undesirable behavior and attention in the classroom.
*Google came out with a new "Team Drive" feature in Google Drive. The "DES Staff Handbook" google folder is now in the Team Drive for "Dodgeland Elementary School Staff."

This is just like the old version of our shared folders drive in our school network, but in google drive, the documents from a Team Drive are easily shared and won't be removed if the original creator leaves. This will be a great way for us to organize curriculum documents and then know where to find them! I'm sure there's more to learn, but that's all I know for now.
If you do not see this in your Google Drive, please let me know so I can make sure you're added.


Blogs, Tweets & Pins...Oh My!!!
