February is here

February is here, and with it come thoughts of family conferences, a mid-Winter break, and our final professional learning day for our entire school.  It's a short month that will zoom by quickly.  And then it will be March.  So think about what learning experiences you'll be providing for our students in February.  What do you need to provide for our students so that they are successful?  What collaboration can happen between staff?  How can you get the students more involved in the learning process?  Let's take advantage of the February days that we have.  March will be here soon enough.

Student attendance issues- plan of communication with families

"New" COVID rules

I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend of ice fishing, hanging out with family and friends, and Olympics on television.  I'm hopeful that you will be able to take some time away from school to gear up for our four day week.  It's still going to be cold, so make sure to bundle up when you go outside or settle in on the couch with a good book or to binge watch some television shows or movies.

Have a great weekend!

Jay
