One update on staffing - As many of you know, Julie Bauer is retiring at the end of this school year. Julie, her knowledge, and her love of data will be greatly missed next year. Join me in congratulating Julie on her upcoming retirement!
For next year, Jessica Zupansic will be moving into the interventionist role. Jess's background in reading, her experience in many grade levels, and her gift of being a warm demander will benefit our K-5 learners who receive intervention. Join me in congratulating Jess on her new role!
Please note that our elementary admin team is still working on staffing, so more to come soon.
What About the Other Kids in the Room?
This week, I came across the below blog entry. It's well worth your time to take a few minutes to read. I know this is something many of us think about - when behaviors arise, what about the other kids in the room? Below are some thoughts and reminders - please take the time to read:
Perspective:
A great reminder (for us all, including myself) about the "view' we choose every day. It's very easy to get stuck in that pattern or "rut". It's also ok to have a bad day. We are humans, we experience emotions. I would challenge you to not stay in that spot. I would also challenge you to find the joy, laughter, or positive "views" from your day. And, relay on your team, friends, or family to help you with that. Let's lean in together to find the joy, happiness, passion, and excitement that we often overlook in a given day.
