Kindness Carries On

Thank you for continuing the focus on kindness!

Weekly Update 2.26.17-3.4.17

It is hard to believe that we are almost finished with the 3rd quarter of school.    I am continually amazed at your willingness to do whatever it takes to ensure success for our students.  This is the time of year that we may need to pull out some new tricks for our struggling kiddos.  We are here for you to provide support for your students, brainstorm new strategies, or guide you to the right resources.  Don’t forget to lean on us!

Recess Update

As the weather gets nicer, please keep in mind that there are 2 scheduled recesses after the lunch recesses (after 1:35 p.m.).

Kindergarten: 2:10-2:30

1st grade: 2:35-2:55

If your class is in need of a break, please be sure to use the time on the playground that is not already being utilized.  In addition, feel free to use the Concord Mile to get a little activity in.  

Learning Labs on Wednesday, March 1st

We need to move learning labsto March 1st this week.  Please bring your Reading Strategies book and ELA priority standards to your PLC room during block.  We would like to invite all intervention services this month to attend the grade levels you service including SSD, ELL, and Reading Intervention.  Thanks!
