Ignoring Disruptions Challenge Begins |
No School – PD and Progress Reporting
PD 8:30-12:00 on Zoom |
MADISON INFORMATION
- (This is us begging…) Please Stay Home If You’re Sick: We love you guys. We so appreciate your dedication and how much you don’t want to leave your colleagues in a lurch, but if you’re unwell, PLEASE STAY HOME! That sore throat, suddenly runny nose, blistering headache are all currently COVID symptoms. If you’re feeling unwell while on site, come by and talk with Gina or Donna. We’ll get you tested. But please stay home if you’re sick. Pretty please with a cherry on top.
- Focus Slides: Please make sure to hit Monday’s slides on Monday, this week. They introduce our school-wide ignoring disruptions challenge, and the challenge will only work if all kids know about it and know how to respond when adults come in to create silly (or not so silly) distractions.
-
Major Referrals: When students receive a level 3 (major) referral, it helps to note on the referral form if the teacher has already or plans to contact the parent. The section at the bottom of the referral only requires my signature – it doesn’t require me to take action if you already have. If you’ve managed the consequences of the referral and the parent contact, please fill out that section and just leave the signature line for me.
DISTRICT INFORMATION
-
- Get Boosted to Avoid a Quarantine: Anyone 6 months past their 2nd dose who haven’t yet received a booster shot is now not considered up to date on Covid vaccines by the CDC and the district. Without your booster shot, if you are identified as a close contact exposure to covid, you will need to quarantine at home for 5 days. Please let Gina know if you’ve been within 6 ft of someone who’s tested positive for 15 minutes within a 24 hour period. She will help to determine any needed quarantine period and next steps.

- Jan. 28 EA Extravaganza: Downtown is putting together a list of professional development opportunities for EAs for the morning of January 28. Due to limited in-person capacities and to provide flexibility, many of the sessions will be asynchronous.
- EEF Grants Due Feb. 4 – EEF is now accepting grants for round two of the school year. See the EEF Email or EEF Website for details. Unlike in the past, staff may directly submit grants without first going through Site Council.
