Weeky Update- Friday, November 3, 2017

Good morning!
Happy Friday!

At Welcome Back Week, we all chose a word to focus on this year.  Just checking in - how's it going with your word?  Are you thinking about it?  Using it?  Living by it?  Me-  not so much.  I need a good reminder to stay focused on my word of the year.  How are you doing?

November 6 Staff Development Day:
Monday, November 6 is a Staff Development Day at OHS.  Below is the schedule for the day:

7:40-8:00         Coffee & light grab-n-go breakfast at location of your first session

8:00-11:00       Professional Learning Session 1
11:00-12:00     Lunch (on your own)
12:00-3:00       Professional Learning Session 2

If you want more information on the agenda, see the email from Taylor Petrich on October 27.  

EA's, you do not report on this day.  I hope you have a productive day of learning!

Guided Library:
There's been some questions on the Guided Library - just a couple reminders!
1. Please check all guided library books out with Denise in the library.  If she is not there, you can record the barcode number and email it to her so she knows you checked it out.

2. The guided library books are for teachers to check out.  You cannot check these books out to students.

3. Junior Great Books, Ladder books, EIR books, Bill Nye DVD’s, the professional library and math manipulatives are all in the guided library now.  We are still waiting on one more book shelf to make things easier to find, but they are all in there and available for checkout.

Monday Monkey Message & Bell System:
I have an email into Maintenance to see when our paging system will be completely up and running.  Because the Scoop is now live on Monday mornings, we will not be doing a Monday Monkey Message.  

Reading Night- Thursday:
Thursday, November 9 is our Family Reading Night.  This is a day where we will "unplug from electronics and plug into a good book!"  Students (and staff) will wear pajamas to school and participate in a reading switch-a-roo at 1:50pm.  Then, that night, families can come to school in their PJs and enjoy pizza, books, and family time!  

A huge thank you to our committee for their work on this night - Mark Langlois, Lori Huisenga, Eric Oppegard, Val Seath, Kathy Feltes, Michelle Meiners, Sonya David, & Laurie Wolhart.  


A SnapShot of Learning:

Student Council worked with Young Professionals to create Buddy Benches for our playground!

A huge thank you to our staff who agreed to be "pied" at our PBIS Assembly! 

Weekly Building Newsletter:

This will be updated at some point today- Friday.

Don't forget to take some time this weekend and "YIELD"..... enjoy a relaxing weekend!  :)
