Can you believe it....we are in the final stretch! Only two weeks to go! This school year has been unbelievable and remarkable in so many ways, and I have to say again how proud I am of all of you. You all have persevered through so much this year, not just professionally, but also personally. I want to thank you all for everything that you have done and given to make this school year as positive and successful as it could be. I continue to stand in awe of each of you and it has been a true pleasure to work with each of you. I plan for this to be my last blog of the year and I want you all to know how special each of you are to me. I appreciate you so very much!
All of the important end of the year info is in last week's blog. Please refer to it for particulars.
Chromebook Collection
Remember...this week is our chrome book collection. Please continue to send reminders to your parents that this is mandatory. I will see you all on your specifically designated day (see last weeks Blog) at 11:00am. If you know of a family who will not be in town, please reach out to Mr. P to see how he would like it handled. If we need to keep a chrome book because it is damaged, parents can pick it up once it's repaired. That pick-up date will be June 15th from 9:00-12:00. Be sure to dress comfortably, I hear it's going to be hot! Also, make sure you bring your meals as these will be long days.
Postcards
When you come in on your day for Chromebook collection, see me, as I will be giving you postcards that we will send home to your students in the summer. Please write each student a generic note and sign it. We are doing this as a way to keep our families engaged over the summer. These postcards are due back to me by Friday, June 18th. Some examples of messaging could include but are not limited to:
- I hope you're having a great summer and working on your summer learning book! I look forward to seeing you in September.
- I can't wait to have you in my class this fall! Enjoy your summer!
- I hope you're doing well! I can't wait to hear all about your summer when I see you in the fall. I'm looking forward to a great school year together.
Please feel free to come up with whatever messaging you'd like. If you are not returning to your position next school year, please write out the cards without your personal signature. See me for how to sign the cards. Thanks!
Mentoring
For all of the mentors on the team, please make sure your mentoring logs are complete.
Last Day of School
On the last day of school, we plan to have a cookout! You all know how important food is to Laurus! 😂 We are all working from school that day. Please remember to turn in your ipad to me and be sure that your classrooms are summer ready (refer to the previous blog).
Please don't leave! But if you must...
I don't want any of you to leave our team. I do however realize that some of you may be looking elsewhere. If you decide to make any moves for the next school year, please let me know as soon as you know. You will still get paid over the summer as long as you worked the last day of school. Historically, we typically find better quality candidates earlier in the summer. So if you know early on, it would be in the best interest of the students to let me know right away. Thanks!
News to Know
6/10 Board Meeting at 6:00pm
I know I'm a bit early in wishing you this, but I do hope you have the most peaceful and fun summer with the ones you love. You deserve it! Thank you all for making this another successful school year! Love ya'll so much!!!!
