Settling Into Excitement!

Thank you for your patience as we're getting more and more settled into this new year. Our schedules are beginning to take shape, children are settling in to procedures (excellent job holding them to a high standard!) and God is being glorified!

It's our first 5-day week. Can you relate? ;)

Tech Talk
In order to help us continue to grow and learn from one another or perhaps even discuss WHAT to begin to ask of those "in the know", I would like to invite anyone to the staff center on Thursdays during afternoon recess for what we'll call Tech Talk. If you have an app, lesson or technology integrated idea to share, please come with your idea or a sample. If you have questions or have a creative idea and don't know where to begin to pull it off, let's pick each other's brains. 

Discovery Assessment 
We'll roll it out on Monday. I'll begin with my class on Monday afternoon and let you know if we sank or swam with the testing on the iPads! 

Tailgate Game
If you volunteered to work at the pre-game party, you should have received information from Amanda Brouwer. In light of this, let's have tomorrow be an optional jean day and maroon and white day (some of us can't get all the way home to change in time to get back on duty ;)

Walk-a-thon Reminder
Please remind your parents in your weekly communication to ask students to bring their collected money to school on Monday, September 15. The parent team will be counting the money Monday evening.

School Pictures are Thursday and Friday
Sheri, we'll get your skinny side while it's still looking sassy!

Dates for your blogs:
Sept. 15: Walk-a-thon
Sept. 18/19: School Pictures
Sept. 29: No School: Staff Development Day
October 9: Grandparents' Day
October 21 & 22: Parent/Teacher Conferences
October 22: No School
October 23& 24: No School: CEA Convention

While we're still shifting our schedules and support staffing, please don't hesitate to communicate necessary changes or reworks. We need to respond to our children's growth and will work toward that end.
