Staff News Letter Feb. 27-Mar. 2


A few of us had the wonderful opportunity of participating in the “Leader In Me” training earlier this week at North Elementary.  I am looking forward to beginning the process of implementing parts of this program.  The main focus will be teaching students responsibility through leadership skills.  The environment is a key part of this process.  Many parts of this program require quit a bit of staff collaboration, but building up the physical environment can begin right away.  I will be sending out a survey soon to have you choose a phrase that we would like to have posted at each of our entrances.  The phase will represent what we expect our students to become.  This part of the program will have three parts in the physical environment.  We will post a common phrase at each entrance, have banners… with leadership quotes throughout the school, and have our school behavior motto posted throughout our school as well.  If you would please take just a few minutes to take the survey when you receive it.  If you have quotes that would be good to have in the school, please forward them to me and I will build a list.

Dual Immersion – A group of us will be going to SLC next week to observe several Dual Immersion schools.  I hope we return with a good feel of how everything will fit together.  By way of keeping everyone up to date, we were able to fill our two classes without having to advertise to the rest of the district.  I will be sending out notices to the parents early next week.

*SEPs – Just a reminder that everyone will need to send SEPs notices out next week to schedule parents.

Have a fabulous weekend!
