Friday Focus - February 12, 2021

 

Great Things I Noticed this Week:
*Many of our 6th graders were on a mission to spread kindness via email. :)
*Great student leadership for CTSO week and the upcoming food drive. Our student leaders never cease to amaze! 
*Many teachers in the hallway before school greeting kids and during passing periods. Not only does this mean making connections with kids, but also preventing some hallway shenanigans that tend to happen when there's no adult around (or come quickly when it does happen...thank you!)


Upcoming Events:
Monday - online PD day 
Tuesday - online course registration in 4th hour for 9-11th graders
Wednesday - MS Faculty meeting

"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
*You should be receiving an email Friday (today) with your schedule and zoom links for Monday's PD. Please enjoy these great sessions from the comfort of your home...unless you need to be in the building for our wifi. There will be about 40 people in the building from different companies inspecting the areas of the building that will be renovated, so if you're here there may be distractions depending on where you are at. 
Please see Ms. Lee's email from Feb 10 with Zoom directions. If you had any issues with zoom for our last PD day I would recommend connecting with Ms. Lee, Mr. Modaff, or Mr. Kjornes before Monday. 


We are at mid-February...the armpit of the school year. The freezing cold is here, some student behaviors, cell phones, hats, tech violations, all while teaching in person and blended...there's a LOT going on right now. It's the time of the year that we hit that slump and countdown the days until spring break...IF we let ourselves get lost from our why. Do you remember YOUR why? Why you do what you do? When you feel yourself getting lost in your to-do list, behaviors, all the minutia....go back to your purpose.  I'll admit, I often have to pull out my card I wrote for my why, because the days can get long, but my why always brings me back!
