Friday the 19th


I hope you had a solid weekend. I was able to address a lot of emails/paperwork on Friday and feel like I can get through another week. I hope you felt Friday was productive and the extra time for conference prep  was helpful. 

  • Our staff meeting on Tuesday is slated for additional time to prepare for conferences. We may have a short check in at 3:30 and will definitely be available to answer any questions in regards to conferences. We have made a big push to schedule our families who need interpreters and sent out messaging directly to those families over the weekend. A message will go out to families tonight, or tomorrow morning that do not need interpretation to begin scheduling. I know some of you have already reached out to your families and started this process. THANK YOU. We will be sending out several Messengers, "robo calls" and Reminds to all families to schedule and ask that classroom teachers do the same. Again, the goal is to touch base with as many parents as possible. There are 40 slots available for conferences so hopefully we can squeeze everyone in!
  • Conference forms that needed translations should have been submitted on Friday. A reminder to turn in a copy of your forms to the office by the 18th.  
  • Teachers please remind your students that if they choose to take only milk at lunch they will be charged for it.  In order to not be charged they need to also take a meal. Once they go through the line, they cannot go back to get milk if they change their mind. Please encourage your students to get lunch (even if they don't want to eat) and take milk (just in case they change their mind).
  • From the counseling team regarding student safety: If a student is talking, writing, or drawing about suicide or self harm, please contact the counseling team immediately so that we can meet with the student as soon as possible. You can call our extensions, call the office to radio us, or email with "Urgent" in the subject. We follow a suicide screening protocol and the earlier in the day we know about concerns, the more time we have to assess and then contact the family. Please know you are not alone in responding to the student- if in doubt about a situation, please contact us! 
  • Here is the link to the Conference Notices: 

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Ii1Hzw9xvZz3_odEGOhJaHAjnsnIBvALkQ6XAuWx9_M/edit#slide=id.p  PRO TIP- Send a copy of this home with students on Friday with their Conference Form. Envelopes for this purpose are available in the office. 
  • As a reminder the district has given staff the option to conduct conferences from school or home. There will not be an expectation for staff to come to come in. Official hours for conferences are 8:00-11:30, 12:30-4:00 and 5:00-8:00. PAT members are required to work these hours. PFSP employees are scheduled to work their normal hours. I will send out information to those staff members directly.

Morning Minute for June 11th

We will be on a PM Assembly schedule tomorrow, Tuesday the 11th. This is a shift from our original plans. I sent an email out earlier this afternoon to let everyone know we will be canceling the building wide WIN time. We did not have much entered in the spreadsheet designed to determine where students should be receiving support. My apologies to those of you who did make efforts to make this happen.  We will be reviewing what is in the spreadsheet and may be able to pull students who need a quiet space to catch up on things. If you have any questions in regards to this please feel free to direct them to me. We will have assigned seating for tomorrow's assembly. We will dismiss classes using the intercom. We will begin releasing classes around 2:40. Students should leave their backpacks/belongings in classrooms. To my knowledge there are no groups being pulled out tomorrow. The only exception would be those who need to get work done as a result of cancelled WIN time.  I have a...

We hope this is not the...
