Celebrations

Can you believe that it's the first week of June?  Celebration Day was amazing.  Thanks to Matt and Justin for all of their efforts and organization.  Celebration Day is but one day, but I can honestly say that this was a Celebration Year!  You all did such a great job being in person and virtual teachers.  You care about our kids and each other.  You step up to help out.  You support our kids and each other.  We've celebrated each other.  I cannot begin to tell you how proud I am to go to school with you every day!

End of year procedures

Here is a document for end of the year procedures.  Please notice that our two flex days are now on the calendary.  Please let me know when you'll be meeting as a team/content area so that I can communicate that to Maria.  Included in this document are items from Jim regarding technology and Ron regarding building and grounds.  I'm happy to discuss these with you if you have any questions.

Educator Effectiveness

Thanks to all of you who have met with me or have scheduled your final SLO meeting.  If you haven't done so, please do so as soon as you can.  If you need to meet with me between noon and 2:00, a time that looks busy on my calendar, that is also an option.  I look forward to our conversations.

It's the last weekend of the school year.  Take time for yourself and your families and your friends this weekend.  Reach out and connect with someone you haven't connected with in a while.  I'll be doing that as I see some of my high school friends this weekend.  Relax and come back refreshed for our final two and a half days!
