That Groundhog Doesn't Have a Bright Future in Meteorology...

...and I'm OK with that! Hasn't this weather been just amazing! What a welcome break. But, how is it that some 4-day weeks feel more like 6-day weeks? Maybe it's these kinds of moments: #teacherhumor

Accreditation
The site team will be visiting HC during our Makers Week. They are aware and eager to see what we're up to. Keep on keeping on like we would on any other Makers Week day 😂  Please familiarize yourself with the schedule. Additionally, there are two meetings we are requested to attend:
Tuesday, March 7 we are asked to meet at Pine Ridge from 7:15-7:45. Breakfast will be served.
March 9 at 4:00 at the High School

Makers Week
Speaking of Makers Week. Ours is coming (that was not meant to be a threat!) I will grab the tubs of pieces and parts from RP on Thursday, March 2. We will inventory our goodies on Friday and I'll try to collect anything we might be still in need of. Thank you for embracing this innovative learning for our students.

Dr. Suess's Birthday
Shall I put on a hat? Would you like me to do some reading in classrooms or to grade levels on that day? I'm happy to step in for a bit while you step out for a bit 😀

New Assessment for 17-18
This year will be our final hurrah with Discovery Assessment. The product we have been using to assess our instruction and tools will no longer be available after this year. Our HC Education Committee has approved the implementation of NWEA MAP Assessment which will begin K-12 in the fall. More details will be made available to you when the time comes.

Please Take Note:
Chapel moved to March 1 led by Mrs. Ritsema's Class
