Hi all,
I was out of the building three days last week.  I am looking forward to this week being with all of you.  I did learn some great things and our CTLs were able to pick up on some data diving skills.  I hope that day was helpful in some way.  At a different meeting, I was in a conversation that really got me reflecting on what we do at Grovecrest to provide a world class education to our kids.  Let me ask you two questions that I hope EVERYONE will be able to respond to.  Please respond via this Padlet.  Here are the two questions.

1. What specific things do you do to provide a world class education to our students?
2. What things do we do that stand in our way from providing a world class education?

Please reflect and respond to the Padlet.

To Be Aware Of

• Here is a link to your duty schedule.  Again, Please be seen! Especially those who are on parking lot/car duty.  You may need to step in the way to make sure cars take turns.  If you have questions, please talk to me about how I do it.
• I've received a little feedback from people about their preference for October PD.  From what I gather, people would like to have Dr. Shumway back.  If this is the case, I will contact him this week to see if he is available.  One thing, if we invite him, it will be a continuous PD with him.  I don't want it to be a one and done thing.  Please give me your feedback.  Come talk to me, email, call, text.  Anyway you can, I really want to make this PD worth your time.

Celebrations

Thanks to Ryan for getting the SAGE Interim test going this week.

I have to celebrate our two kindergarten teachers.  I covered one of their classes one afternoon last week.  That was hard!  Jessica and Madison are amazing!

Great Video of the Week

This video is directed to girls, but I wonder how often we hole any of our students back by what we say to them.  ALWAYS encourage!

Have an Amazing week!
