How to make History together: Gratitude is the attitude that builds strength within yourself and others. Always look to the positive. Do NOT give time to negative thoughts or people. Attitude is EVERYTHING when it leads to Action.

 *Lunch: THIS HAS WORKED!!!!! In an effort to not waste food, but also have enough food to feed our school, please DON'T add any numbers to your lunch count to accommodate for possibly absent people. Makis takes extras into account when he is cooking. Thank you. 

*Growth Update: The word is out!!!! OR is the hottest school in the district! 122 new to OR Registrations for next year. Please know we are working with the district and will be communicating with families about our unprecedented growth.


 Please remember...
  • Classroom movement is almost guaranteed the 1st 5 years, as we settle.
  • With this growth comes change. Change is good and requires flexibility
  • Over the next couple months, I'll be working with our teams to create a MASTER schedule for next year, starting with RtI and moving forward from there.
  • We will also have our duties and schedules before leaving for the summer.


*ELA Visit: Melissa Duncan will be visiting on the 28th from 9-11 for part 2 of my Benchmark training. We look forward to popping in once again and seeing your amazing work.

*Laptops: STILL HAVE 16 PEOPLE LEFT. Please make sure to complete the laptop form sent out by technology this week. Let's be the first school to completely fill it out!!!

*Apps for education: Non-approved websites and apps will be blocked at the start of next school year. i.e. Class Dojo will be off as of now July 1st. These are apps that do not meet ADA qualifications or have refused to sign the agreement with the district surrounding student information. If they are NOT approved, all educators in the district may NOT use them. To see a list of district approved apps, click the links below.
