Weather or Not....

Sometimes, it's just kind of fun to watch the weather.... See you tomorrow! ;)

Lunch on Friday
Parent team would like to thank faculty and staff for planning and implementing Makers Week 2018! They are bringing lunch to school on Friday as a tangible expression of "thanks" on behalf of all parents. May I chime in with my heartfelt appreciation as well. Every morning at the front door students have been SO eager to run into school and see what the day's plans hold. It is so rewarding to see pride and success in the faces of students as they enjoy their ideas come to fruition! I know how much planning and disruption this week causes. I am so thankful for your work. 

Makers Assembly
Please plan to come to the gym for our closing ceremonies tomorrow at 11:00. IF....and, yes, that's a wild if....if there is no school on Friday, we will simply cancel the assembly and return to regular life and learning on Monday. 

Fire Drill
10:45 on Tuesday the 13th. Per state requirements, we had to schedule these drills at various times and seasons throughout the year. Sorry! :/

Summer Camp
If you have ideas for a summer camp session (please see email from Chris sent earlier this week) please submit your ideas to Chris by February 21.

Middle School Exploratories
We will have 6 middle school students visiting South Side each afternoon next week. If you are willing to let them observe in your classroom, they are eager to soak up a little slice of life from the "other side of the desk". If you have simple one-on-one tasks you are willing to assign them, perhaps they can even be helpful. We will have them assisting in the encore classes during the afternoon slots as well.

Board Visit
We will have two members of our school board visiting at 9:00 on Tuesday morning, February 27. Just keep doing the awesome teaching/learning that you always do. They simply want to take a peek at our students and your work!

February 16 PD
Elementary teachers please bring science materials (units/teaching standards) on February 16. Curricular meeting and grade level meetings will be covered by the time spent on February 16 so there will be no need to hold another monthly meeting. Preschool will be meeting during this time as well so there will be no other staff meeting this month.

Staff Meeting
Our next staff meeting will be February 15 over the lunch hour please.
