Today is day 1 on the specials calendar
Planning half days for first and fourth grades. Kendra and Kim have some training developed for a portion of the time at each grade level planning day. You may have PLC meetings during planning days this week. You don't have to meet for an hour since the planning day is almost a 4 hour PLC.
Kindergarten has traded their planning half day in March for a whole day for parent conferences this Thursday. Several years ago, our district had a "conference day" but as budgets grew smaller and methods of communication changed, that tradition fell by the wayside. However, nothing beats a face to face encounter to really share concerns and celebrate successes. If it works as well as we hope, perhaps this concept can be revived and expanded. Great job, Kindergarten!
Please review the update for events upcoming this week.
