I am out all day at the District Office. Justin Lang is available; however, please remember he is still teaching.
I found this on Twitter this week- the Top 10 things that students deserve from us. I love even the title - not "top 10 things students get from us"... but "deserve". These 10 items made me stop and think - am I giving these each and every day?
Teacher Appreciation Week:
Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week! Remember, as we have always said, you are all educators. We all have a role in educating our McKinley learners!

School Nutrition Appreciation Week:
Next week is also School Nutrition Week. As you know, our students couldn't learn without the wonderful meals they receive. Thank you to our amazing staff on helping keep our students fed and ready to learn!
EL Family Potluck:
Next Wednesday, May 3rd is our EL Family Potluck from 4-5:30pm. For those of you who have attended in the past, this is a great event for our family. It's also a great time to enjoy some authentic food and visit with families. If you are available, consider attending. Our families love to see you. Thank you to Laurie, Liz, and Caryn for all their hard work planning this event!
Staff Power Hour Follow-Up:
We had another great Staff Power Hour this week. As you know, our focus is on student engagement and poverty. I'm always amazed at how reflective you are during our Power Hours. You have truly embraced a growth mindset and are empowering the collective work we are doing to improve. Thank you!
Before our next meeting, remember to "try" one of the action steps!

She is focused on the right work. Thank you, Catie!
Have a great weekend - and stay warm!
