A really short update this week...
Communication:
Please make sure you are reading all communication (weekly update, morning announcements, email, etc). I know days get busy - however, we are getting more and more questions on things that were shared in the newsletter multiple times.
What Does It Mean to Belong:
As a building, we have really challenged ourselves to think beyond diversity (who) to belonging (feeling valued). I love seeing each of you focus on this every single day - working hard to be a warm demander and ensuring that all belong. Thank you for your continued focus on this.
Below is a graphic that is a great example of how we moved from diversity to belonging.
Linked is an article - please take 3 minutes to read this. This article helps breakdown what "indicators" are there when belonging happens - for students and staff. Please read.
Introduction to Education:
From Katie Coudron - I'm looking for classrooms who could use some helping hands from either 11:35-12:35 or 12:05-1:05 (roughly) on Tuesdays & Thursdays. I know this overlaps with lunch and recess times for many... so if you are in need of high school helpers during any of that time who could *also* be in a classroom part of that time, I'd love to make something work.
Please email me (Justin) if you are interested in having someone in your classroom.

Have a great weekend!
