It was a chilly Halloween this year! Anya has outgrown trick-or-treating (๐Ÿ˜ฅ), but Aubrey is still loving it. I enjoyed watching her hop from house to house collecting me Crunch bars. Below is a photo of the girls with two of their favorite people. Marilyn provided care for the girls until the entered school. Since then, Marilyn and her husband, Art, have been like grandparents to the girls. We are so grateful for them!

Who in your life are you grateful for?

The district invested in safety radios to assist in communication in an emergency. The elementary radios were distributed throughout the buildings. Procedures for our safety radios:


  • Radios will stay charged and ready for use
  • Radios in classrooms will remain off while on the charger
  • Student support team will have their radios on when it is possible
  • Staff may take a radio to recess and arrival/dismissal for easy communication with the office
  • Take a radio with you when leaving the building with your class
  • We will use Chanel 1 unless instructed otherwise

Literacy teachers have worked hard on the LETRS training this fall. We pushed to get two units done in a short time. Work on the next unit will begin in January with a synchronous learning day on February 17. This leaves several weeks for teachers to complete Unit 2. You now have access to my professional learning calendar, where I have our meeting and PD schedules noted.
