March 18 Update

Happy Friday, Amazing Educators!

I saw this on Twitter and it made me smile.  This is so true.  A huge thank you to everyone for helping "keep us afloat" when we have a colleague gone.  I know this has been a regular frustration, but I genuinely thank you for helping with supervision and classroom coverage.   This is another example of the "all hands on deck approach" that is believed and modeled every single day.  


New Technology Specialist:
As many of you know, Ian Simon was promoted to working district-wide with the Technology and Innovation Department.  We are thrilled - and proud - of Ian for this promotion!  

Starting Monday, March 21, we have Logan Harvey joining our team.  He will provide technology support for McKinley and Washington.  Logan will transition with Ian and the rest of the team next week.  Please start sending technology tickets to Logan Harvey.  

Welcome, Logan!  

Telling Our Story!  
Lots of learning, relationships, and fun this past week.  Don't forget, get out on Twitter and tell your story!  Let's show the world how amazing our school is!  






Relationships Reminder:
We are in the relationship-business.  Our entire day - and roles - are centered around developing relationships.  We immediately think of teacher-student relationships, right?  Don't forget about the power of colleague relationships, family relationships, and community relationships.  Those happen in every single thing you do - not just an organized family night.  We are engaging and building relationships all day, every day.  This next week (and after spring break), we may have to spend more time on this.  We have students who are leaving a predictable, safe environment to possibly not have that same routine, safety, and just overall feel.  Please be aware of this as we navigate around spring break, as well as into the spring.

It's going to be a beautiful weather this weekend - try and get outside and enjoy the "spring" weather!
