Happy Birthday to...

May 31 - Julie Cuocci

End of Year Checkout End of Year Checkout

Certified staff will receive a neon pink packet and classified/TA staff will receive a light pink packet tailored to your role this week. Do not start collecting signatures until June 1. For items that require Julie/Chris/Doshia – you do not need those signed prior to your checkout. We will be at the table and verify those items at that time.


The last day of school is an early release with 11:50 as our release time.


Monday, June 15 is an optional workday. If you are able to checkout Friday, June 12, you do not need to come in on Monday. Checkout will wrap up at 4:30 on Friday so if you are not checked out by then you need to come in on Monday. As a result, we have not scheduled a meeting or lunch for the last day of school so that people have time to pack up and checkout if they would like to.

What is a Bucket Filler?

Cultivating a happy and healthy work environment is vital to the success of any business--and even more important is developing a sense of community. Think about how it feels when someone does something nice for you. Now, think about how you feel when you do something nice for someone else! Every interaction we have with each other has the potential to either lift us up or bring us down. By making conscious decisions to “fill each other’s buckets”, these small interactions over time build a culture that increases engagement, teamwork, and our sense of safety. This activity is one way to build and strengthen relationships by building a positive work culture.


Drop In Your Bucket instructions:

1) Pick someone to whom you would like to give a simple “thank you” to today. This can be someone who needs a quick “pick me up” or someone who might already have the positive vibe going that you want to continue to encourage.

2) Write a short note using the form link below and it will be in the next Eagle Eye News

3) Aim to complete 2 or 3 “drops” per month to see how quickly our positive culture blooms
