Welcome to March! It is crazy to think there are ONLY 3 months left. And in those 3 months we have Benefit for the Arts, Open House, the musical, testing, Carnival, the many end of the year activities and more! It is going to FLY!
In that time, we will also be working on setting our vision for next year and the years to come. Many of you tell me you want to see Stoneridge cohesive and wonderful like it used to be. There is one thing I can tell you, and that is Stoneridge will never be like it used to be. We have new staff, new students and new leadership. That being said, I can ALSO tell you that we are an excellent school and that we will grow to be even better.
With our grade level changes we have bridged gaps between grade levels by opening relationships, expanded expertise to different grade levels, moved personalities to age groups where they will thrive, and spread the gift of experience to touch more students.
When I look at our grade level teams, I am thrilled by the potential!
What I ask each of you is: Are you willing to be part of the story? Part of the group that embraced change, dug in and did the hard work. The group that moved us from where we are now to where we are headed. I have no doubt that each and every one of you is capable.
I have said it many times before--I am excited for what is to come and working to get there with YOU!
This Friday is Betting on the Arts!! Dust off your 80's gear and get ready to party! Please remember to add your availability to the sign up that Stephanie shared. Thank you again to Stephanie and Sara for being the teacher representatives.
This Wednesday is our Data Discussion Day. Here is the Schedule
PLC time this Monday is to look at your daily schedules. In this time, I would like your grade level to revisit the activities you do, including the time for rehearsing/practicing. Is there a place to add back instructional minutes? Also, look at your field trips. What is the tie to the standards? Do more than one grade level go on the same field trip? Next week, I will be sharing a grid to add up weekly instructional minutes.
