March 10 Update

Happy Friday, McKinley! 
A shorter blog today....

Just a reminder - all Staff Power Hour on Monday!  

Science Fair:
What a great science fair!  It was great to see all the thinking, questioning, and overall wonderings!  
A huge thank you to Jess Zupansic and Karen Thurnau for your organization of this event!   You did an amazing job organizing and hosting this event!  

Sledding - Friday
Just a reminder of next week's sledding trip on Friday.  We will be sending a note home in Campus on Monday, but feel free to communicate with families on your own. 

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.  These next two weeks (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.  

Cleanliness of Building:
Just a reminder to be checking your classroom, lockers, resource spaces, and other spaces nightly to ensure they are clean. You can even have students do this before they leave! In all honesty, we have a beautiful building with so much flex space - and it looks awful at times. We've even had community members comment that it looks dirty. Please help keep our spaces (all spaces - classroom, open areas, conference room, lockers) clean and presentable.

Have a great weekend!
