NW Staff Weekly Word

Wow, what a first week! Huge shout out to the Kindergarten team, ELL teachers, Interventionists, Specials, and ancillary staff for making sure we didn't lose any of our 87 Kindergarten and 18 WCL friends. The dust has settled for them, and they will be starting with their teacher this week. Super exciting!

I am including links to the the PAWS videos that show what it means to be a leader in various places around the school. They were created a couple of years ago with our 4th graders, but the message remains the same. Please take some time during this week to go over those expectations with your class. See below for the links.

We are tentatively set for a Positivity Project whole school assembly on Friday, 9/12. More details to come on the time, but it shouldn't take too long, and we will be in the gym.

Another reminder to get your online trainings done. Carmen Graves sent them, and the first school to complete them all gets a pizza lunch! Let's make it 3 years in a row!

All right! Week 2, here we come!

Thank you for an incredible first week of school! The excitement at arrival each day was a testament to the hard work our staff poured into making every student feel welcome.
