Each day, I am grateful for all of you! I could not do this job without all of you. Thank you for your extra efforts to support each other and our students. Thank you for a great start to our Building Quarterly Meetings. I am so proud of the work you are doing together in your teams. You are making a difference.

I wanted to take a moment to follow up from last week's newsletter. I want to make sure there is no misunderstanding regarding calling the office for support. Pakala and I are here to support all of you no matter what. Support can take on many different appearances. Please know it is our goal to get into classrooms more often to support right in the moment. We want to give you feedback and coach kids in the moment who may be disengaged. We want students to demonstrate respect to all of you and see you as the authority figure in the room. Don't hesitate to call for support, please be ready to let us know:

1. What happened
2. How did you intervene
3. How we can support

Awesome Staff,

As you know, we have a half day on Thursday due to Parent Teacher Conferences. Students will be in the building from 7:30-11:15am. Conferences begin at 1:00 pm. Please take time to grab lunch on your own. We will have a Taco Bar dinner out in the Teacher's Lounge by 4:00pm. Please, grab dinner whenever your schedule allows.

The Media Productions Team is working on a Character Education Video Series. Our goal is to include ALL teachers and staff in the video lead-in. There is an 8-minute video: The Science of Character that frames this project and may offer you insight. We are asking ALL STAFF needs to please answer a ONE-question survey: https://forms.gle/VXsyYWALYNGfkaik8. Thank you!

We are excited to have Noah join us as a reserve math teacher. Noah is teaching our sixth and seventh graders. Here is a short message from Noah:

I am from the Luxemburg-Casco area which is also where I graduated high school. I attended the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for my undergraduate degree. I graduated from UWM with a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematical Sciences. During my time in college, I was part of a research team where we mathematically modeled the disruption of glucose homeostasis in patients who have cancer. I believe they are still in the process of getting that published. I lived in Milwaukee for the past 4 years and just moved back to the Mishicot area this past July. I am a huge fan of the Milwaukee Bucks and was lucky to be living in Milwaukee during their Championship run back in 2021.

Here is the link to sign up for our 3rd Annual Friendsgiving Potluck on Monday, November 20th. The food will be in the Staff Lounge for lunch. Please take a moment to sign up and let us know what you will be contributing to share with our Wilson Family. If you have any questions, please let Jenny Lagerstrom know!

The Wilson Staff Engagement Committee is organizing a Secret Santa for December's activity. If you want to participate, please complete this questionnaire by Friday, November 17th: https://forms.gle/CAPCfHTxkHeLnQjC7.

Hoping to communicate the matches out before the Thanksgiving break.
