Nightly News for January 12th

  • Please be sure to turn in any extended hours or items that need to be addressed by Payroll ASAP. 
  • I realize this may be one of those things we did not directly communicate, but need to. If a student is injured and you witnessed that injury we need to fill out the form that follows. This is not for a small "boo boo", but those that could require medical attention, head injuries (these should ALWAYS be sent to the the health room to be addressed), and those that were caused by building equipment etc.  

Kelly documents all visits, but this is separate from our PPS reporting on injuries. We will work on getting a hard copy of this for sub folders as well. 

  • All are welcome to read, but is more focused on K-5. We have not had time to check in on a few things with cadres and other imperative work. We will discuss more in coming PLCs or staff meetings (we don't meet as entire staff for awhile). The district office/school board has stressed the importance of giving kids movement through recess. As a  reminder students should be allowed to access recess. We should not be taking recess away from students. This may be an administration decision occasionally, but we want to ensure students have time to stretch. If you have questions please feel free to talk with Jill or me around this.  At the beginning of this year we hoped to utilize the class recess as structured movement/recess. This is happening in some grade level recesses and has made a difference. We have utilized structured lunch recess for students who struggle with peers, become too competitive, etc. If students are struggling to follow expectations at recess please utilize structured recess.  Students should not have recess withheld from them. I would like to have more discussion around the use of structured recess as a form of classroom discipline.
  • Here is the basketball schedule for Saturday if anyone is interested:
5th Grade Boys: 10:10 @ Fernwood (1915 NE 33rd)
3rd Grade Boys- 9:00 @ Portland Eastside Community Center (740 SE 106th)
3rd Grade Girls- 10:10 @ Mt Tabor (5800 SE Ash)
4th Grade- 12:45 @ Portland Eastside Community Center (740 SE 106th)
