(* Indicates the number of weeks it’s been in newsletter.

INFORMATION & ANNOUNCEMENTS:

PLC Wednesday: Meet in classrooms.

Library: Track A Starts on 9/6

Custodial Schedule: Track B starting Monday 

Staff Meeting: Meeting will be held in the Barn after school @ 2:25

Walk to learn: This will start, if you haven't already, by 9/6.

PTC Corner:

Room Parent and Art Docent: Please make sure you add in your Room Parent and Art Docent's name and email address to the sheets. They are separate Google Sheets. If you are having trouble finding a parent to fill that role, please mark it on the sheet. Thank you! :)

TOSA TIPS: I hope that you are all having a great start to the school year. I’ve really enjoyed visiting your classrooms to read my favorite books or do direct drawings with your students. 


My tip for this week is our RCSD Key Resource Document. Some of you may have this bookmarked already, but just in case you don’t, here it is. This link has grade-level specific documents that will help support the planning and implementation of English Language Arts, Writing, Math, Science, and Grading.  


Please let me know if you need anything at all. I’m here as a resource to you and would love to help you out in any way that I can.


Tutoring Reminder: It is a conflict of interest to tutor your own students for money. If parents reach out for tutoring, please reach out to Josh or Richard.


Lunch Numbers: Students will begin practicing lunch number on 9.6 at lunch


Log Entries in PS: Please try to document parent phone calls, emails attempts and interactions into powerschool. It really helps us when a parent calls to see the conversation you have with them or tried to have with them.  

First to Respond: First 2 people to respond to this FORM will get a free non-alcoholic beverage from Josh and Richard.

This just looks AMAZING!


*Adventure Club: Adventure club is getting ready to start pre-school. There are going to be IAs in the office helping some of their kids with toileting. They will be using the bathrooms between Room #7 & #8. 

**Please remember to check the LIVE Google Calendar as dates/times are subject to change.
