THREE DAY WEEKEND ALERT!!!!
Instructional Coach Interviews
Safety Town
Feedback
Dear Adams' Fam!!
😍 Teachers! If you haven't already PLEASE make sure you fill out ➡ this survey ⬅- this will help us tailor future professional learning to fit your needs! Thank you to all of the teachers who have already filled it out!
Another change to the ESSER grant/ instructional coach position...so now every school in the district is getting a full time instructional coach. The plan we had to have two coaches share a class and coach is not going to work after all it looks like, so starting next week we will be interviewing candidates and hopefully we'll have a decision by next Friday!
On April 4th📅 we have a really fun program that will be here for a day from Banner Hospitals🏥 called Safety Town. They focus on teaching kids how to prevent incidents that cause the most common hospital visits from children. I know this will be very beneficial to our students and community! It is geared for 1st through 5th grade students. It will be an all day event and they need to set up in the cafeteria so we will have a picnic lunch that day 🌞! This is a drop off event - we will be sending out a sign up sheet soon - 1st-5th you get an extra 30 minute prep that day! (sorry 5th - you have science testing that day so if they're not done by the end of the day you won't be able to go).
Thank you all for completing all of the surveys we have been sending out this really does help us to make decisions 🤔 and to make improvements! We will be adding a suggestion box in the teachers' lounge as well. Of course if you ever have any concerns, suggestions, questions PLEASE feel free to come straight to me! I can't fix it or even attempt to fix it if I don't know it is broken! I am a big believer in feedback for improvement whether it's from me to you or you to me! Thanks in advance 🤩!
Adams team - We got this!
