Friday Focus - Friday, April 20th



The Talent Show was AMAZING last night! A HUGE thank you to everyone on the Talent Show committee, extra staff that came to help or just watch to support our students and all of the extra staff that participated in the teacher act...once again it was quite a hit!  I was so proud of our students who worked hard to get up on the stage and amazed by how big of an event that this has grown in to. We packed the gym this year and I have to share with you that I saw several families that rarely come to school events.  Dodgeland is the place to be!!

If you want to share the teacher act with your class, you can view it at:

Wednesday/Thursday -  I will be gone with Dr. Thompson in Washington DC for a national trauma-informed care training

Friday - Lockdown/Active Shooter drill (you MUST watch the video sent out by Mr. Modaff that is in place of the meeting)
Friday afternoon-Grandparents Day *Please make sure to dress professionally for Grandparents Day.

Wednesday, May 2nd - Elementary Staff meeting may potentially go until 4:00. I would like support staff to attend this meeting too.
Friday, May 4th - We will be having an Inflatable Party in the gym (Schedule yet to come, but we will have 2 grade levels at a time for 45 minutes).

Thought to Ponder...

I know many of you have your countdown going in your head, but we still have time to have an impact on our students. The best way to make sure students do not act like the school year is over is to make sure that we do not act like the school year is over. Please keep this in mind with your daily countdown and not slipping in to planning "fluff." Kids notice and then share at home and then parents notice too.  And as you already know...if you get off the routine, then your students will get off routine and then you'll have other issues.
