Peep/GSRP Periodical

"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education."

– Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Week August 31

Welcome Back!! 😊

I hope you all had a restful and relaxing summer! As we begin our home visits, I just wanted to send a quick reminder that, according to GSRP requirements, home visits are to take place in the family’s home. If you have a family with concerns about having the home visit in their home, please reach out to me so we can discuss the situation. I am sure some of you have noticed that you are capped at 16, that will be the new normal this year and every classroom will only have 16 students! We also have gotten question about the Filters that were delievered in the Spring they need to be returned to facilites with the filters, and they will be delivering new ones to the buildings.

Also, please make sure you are entering all home visits into Child Plus. If you need assistance with entering your visits, Jessica is available to help.

Lastly, please remember to send me your daily home visit schedule as well.

Thank you, and welcome back! I’m looking forward to a great year! 🌟

Stay Safe,

Elizabeth Jackson-Spaner, Ed.S.

Shoes should be given ONLY to children whose current footware is not appropriate for daily use. Examples:

• Children Wearing Slippers or Unsafe Footware to School
• Shoes with Holes or Falling Apart
• Shoes that are clearly too Small or too Large
• Shoes that are excessively worn and no longer provide support or protection
• Also consider those whose shoes are causing discomfort, difficulty walking or playing, or are not suitable to weather conditions

Use thoughtful judgement and compassion when determing need. The shoe closet should be utilized during off months when First Day Shoe Fun distribuions are not taking place, such as the months September, October, February, and March. Encourage families to participate and utilize through the regular distribution process.

We all voted on our new logo at our last PD, and with the help of Korea Ray, we were finally able to order some new PEEP merch! 🎉

I have ordered notebooks and lanyards, which will be arriving soon, and we are also hoping to get PEEP shirts ordered!

I have attached a Shirt Size Spreadsheet where you can enter the shirt sizes for all of the staff in your classroom. Please make sure to add everyone’s sizing so we can get our shirt order placed!

I’m excited for everyone to have some new PEEP gear! 💙
