You continue to be patient with our large class sizes. 
You fed a hangry kid in need.
You negotiated.
You identified problems and brainstormed solutions.
You taught life and academic lessons. 
You smiled, a lot.
You were an awesome team to watch.
You set the bar high!
WE RISE by lifting each other!

Keep in mind:  
Our open house is scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 29th from 5:30-7:00pm.
I would like to welcome all to the gym from 5:30-6:00pm.  I will make a welcoming announcement and all can walk around the gym (farm table by food services, multiple information booths, music? slideshow? etc.).  Let's bring it!  Who has ideas? All will be released to your rooms at 6:00pm.   
I am really excited about this and it's coming up quick.

Housekeeping:
Department Chairs? If you are interested, please let me know.  One primary, one intermediate.  There will be work associated with this.

Math Leadership Team:  Macias is participating once again on MLT.  Who would like join him and other teachers from FUSD?  Let me know. 


Morning Announcements.  How do you wish to choose kids from your classroom to lead us in the morning?  I will support your system.  We will strive to make announcements (if any), have a moment of silence (10 sec) and lead in the pledge of allegiance at 8:50am every morning. For now, the character pledge is on your own if you choose.  We should create a new pledge! GREAT PBIS project.

Wednesday Afternoon Bus Duty.  We need help on Wednesdays.  Our Kinder team is in specials until 3:15pm.  They cannot dismiss their kinders while loading buses.  Please email me if you can step up and help on Wednesdays.

PBIS Not gonna sugarcoat it....WE NEED PBIS up and running yesterday!  Can you help?

Enjoy your well deserved weekend!  Rest, read, reflect, recover.
