Here We Go, Rock and Roll

Teachers,

Here is your weekly dose of “5-Point Friday. 

Here We Go, Rock and Roll—

Friday is here and we all made it. Congratulations. Now comes the part we got into this business for, teaching, learning, and growth. What a great first week with the students. The students are ready to go. I can see it in their eyes.  

We will be starting Specials next week. You will need to stay with your students until they are in class with the specialist. Review with them how to act in the halls. Kim and I will come in and talk to your team about how you are doing and discuss interventions, Dibels/IDEL, and Lexia/iReady. It has been a great week. Enjoy your weekend.

Here we go.

A Big Thank You —

Thank you everyone for a great week. From the specialists that help in the morning outside to the teachers that have the students moving and grooving, to the office staff that keeps this school running. Thank you for all the work you put in. I know there have been many hours in and outside of the school that have been put in to ensure our students get the best. 

And a special thank you to Kirby for all the work he puts in the make sure we have the best looking school and for keeping our old school safe and in working order. I don’t think he gets enough credit for the way this building runs, but it can run smoothly because of his work here.  Thank you Kirby for all you do. Thank you everyone for your love of students. Thank you.

I appreciate all of you and your hard work.
