Morning Minute for October 5th

  • Thank you for your focus and presence this morning. We will continue to practice centering circles in our work for the year. 
  • I also want to thank everyone who opened their classrooms to our Taiwanese delegates. I was able to meet with them today and answer questions etc. They were very impressed with the work they saw and commented on our student's positive attitudes. Kudos!
  • I need to share that I had one of those moments today when I looked around at students digging up peppers, drilling holes in gutters, hanging lights and I was overcome with emotion. Not one, but two colleagues stepped in to support Mr.Benson's 7th period Horticulture/Gardening class. Students were engaged and problem solving left and right.  💕
  • We will be taking over Room 101 on Monday. Donna and Natalia will be moving out of the library and into their new temporary digs. The district is moving their belongings over the weekend. More info to come. 
  • MAP testing will take place 3rd and 4th period. We will share attendance information with Naima. Please send students on the list ASAP so we can complete testing tomorrow. 
  • I will be at Leadership tomorrow. I will be checking email and texts.

Nightly News for Wednesday the 9th

Tomorrow is what may be our last Apple Harvest. This event begins at 5:00 and runs until 7:00. Valerie, Elin and Ron have spent time organizing and we are hoping for a great turn out. All staff are welcome to come and support!  We are looking for a paper cutter. Daniela currently has one in the art room that is hardly functioning. It needs to be retired. I am reaching out in hopes of finding one in the building that is stuffed in a closet or drawer somewhere and could be given to our art room for daily use before  we purchase a new one. Please let her, or me know if you have one you are willing to part with.  Just an FYI I was in meetings pretty much all day. I am behind in responding to emails and will work on this tomorrow as I can and over the weekend.

Please note that Shannon, or I,  cannot use the P-Card to make purchases on anyone's personal accounts. For example if you wanted to order something from Home Depot we could not have you send us your link and pay for it using the P-Card. All purchases have to be made on a Harrison Parks specific account OR the employee can pay for it and be reimbursed .   MS Arts Performance 3-5 Assembly 2:30-3:00 tomorrow. Be sure to review the expectations. As a reminder Emily is out tomorrow.
