Hi Monarchs,
Last week felt like three weeks for many of us. We’re seeing the typical ramping up of behaviors before winter break, but much sooner than usual. It’s always a good idea, when things start feeling like they’re bordering on the edge of being out of control, to stop and slow down. Re-establish your expectations and make them visual (“It’s hard to argue with a poster” is one of my favorite Randy Sprick quotes when talking about putting your expectations in writing.), preteach and reteach even if you think they should already know, and tighten things up again if students are showing they need more structure. 5 more school days! We can do this!
Here are this week’s updates:
| Mon, Dec 13 | Tue, Dec 14 | Wed, Dec 15 | Thur, Dec 16 | Fri, Dec 17 |
| 4:00 P&G to All Admin mtg. | 8:20 – Earthquake and Fire Drill
3:00 – 8th grade celebrate students 3:30 – Gina to OSAS Training 6:30 – Pirates of Penzance |
3:00 – 7th grade celebrate students |
3:00 – 6th grade celebrate students 6:30 – Band Concert |
