Peer Mistreatment or Bullying?

 Peer Mistreatment or Bullying?

From sunrise to...

Thanks for the building support while I had to miss Thursday.  Mixed emotions surround those types of events and I wish that on no one.

Instead of a Google Docs for this activity, please just email where you went during your Early Release time a few days ago on Wednesday.  Possible choices were, Co-Teaching, U of I at the High School, Mandated Reporter Training or other…???  Send me a note describing where you went …

Examples of Great Communication

Terri gave our building a great shout out when leaving here on Monday after the binder meetings.  She mentioned the contributions of the new staff and continued support of our prior teachers are creating a pleasant environment for her and the students.  Well done.

Random: How could we get to the point where we may really hear, “There is too much communication coming out of that middle school?”  But what aspirations!

Parent Communication
What would be the best way for us to connect with parents?  Let's explore possible methods for us to keep parents in the loop.  Of course, we would never really hear, "too much communication from the middle school," but that would be an admirable goal. Please be thinking of how you might best communicate the SWBAT components to parents for the week.  Let's develop a plan for that to happen.  Possible Ingredients Weekly - Consistent - From Teachers or Teams - Google Docs..??? (This is still a work in progress.  Staff input is important here)
