Monday's Collaboration Day:
This Monday, February 21, we will have some time to collaborate, plan, and focus on student learning and instruction. What a gift. Thank you to Superintendent Elstad and the School Board for making this happen. If you get a chance, consider sending them an email... they were instrumental in making this day a reality.
Below is a plan for the day -
7:30- 8:00 Coffee and Chat - if you are interested, join us in the library for a coffee and social time with your colleagues. Coffee will be provided.
8:00-8:20- Staff Connect in library - we will connect quick
8:20 - rest of the day is your time. I highly encourage you to use this time to collaborate, plan, and design learning. This is your time. You have PLCs scheduled for this day. Your team can do your PLC within the day, if you choose.
Paras and Educational Assistants are not working on this day.

Rita Reding Teacher Improvement Scholarship:
The Rita M. Reding Teacher Improvement Scholarship fund was established in memory of Rita Reding, a former elementary teacher, to help District 761 elementary teachers receive professional training to improve their teaching of the language arts in the following areas: writing, spelling, handwriting, and reading.
Approximately $1,000 in scholarships, with a $500 maximum cap granted per application, will be awarded to elementary teachers each year. The funds can be used for any training opportunity that will help a teacher in grades K-6 become a more effective teacher in the areas mentioned above. This training may include college credits.
If interested in applying, send the completed form to Sarah Hoffman at the District Office by March 1, 2022.
