 Happy Sunday!

If this image doesn't capture what we are working through, I don't know what does. This image comes up when you search for 'The calm before the storm." In my opinion, we are definitely living in 'the calm before the storm,' but I also feel like we are walking a path between two worlds. Which side is which? I will leave that up to you, but I am going to guess that it waffles back and forth between the two.  

Input Needed:

Carrie Vincent has requested that you add comments about students that are going into Champions. This is not necessary for every student, but those that struggle or may have an interesting situation. Your comment can be as simple as 'reach out to teacher.' The student's Champions teacher will be then reach out to you. Many of our Stoneridge students will have one of our teachers, but some will not. 

Please add you comments for Champions students here:

Teachers-Stoneridge: Hybrid Placement 2020-2021

Speaking of AM/PM placement, we are just about set. We will be making some final changes Monday morning and then will be sharing with Eich. 

Staff Meeting Change:

As I mentioned at our last staff meeting, I would like to schedule staff meetings sooner than usual so I can share updates. I have a leadership meeting both this Tuesday and next, and the board meeting is this Thursday. I am going to schedule a staff meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 21 at 2:30pm. Fingers crossed it is full of updates, information and all the answers we have been waiting for!! 

Report Card Information and PD:

I highly suggest attending the report card PD this Monday. 

Here is the document with Monday PD Zoom links: Monday PD

Please make your nominations for the TOMMY APOSTOLOS FUND:

Nomination Form

We need your help! Teachers and staff, it is time to nominate any Kindergarten through 5^th grade child you feel would benefit from the Tommy Apostolos Shopping experience. Nominate any underprivileged, low income, or struggling child you feel needs that boost of self-esteem.

The Tommy Apostolos Fund (TAF) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to raise funds to purchase clothing and other necessities for children in Roseville. TAF was established in 1988 in memory of Tommy Apostolos, a lifelong Roseville resident whose passion was helping children. Based on available funds, TAF coordinates the shopping event directly with the parent/guardian. Our goal is to never leave a child without adequate clothing. 

 

PLEASE CHECK ADDRESSES CAREFULLY. These are used to send applications to the families. The nomination deadline is Monday, October 19^th. Late nominations will only be accepted if space is available.

 

THESE REFERRALS ARE CONFIDENTIAL. PLEASE DO NOT DISCUSS WITH FAMILIES OR STUDENTS! Invitations are sent directly to the families.

 

Due to COVID, this year our shopping will be a bit different.  The applications going to nominees are very detailed.  Volunteers will be given a child’s application to make selections for that child. Final decisions on child involvement are being determined now. However, we will still be able to help hundreds of families have a better holiday.

 

If you would like to help, please sign up online at TommyAFund.com to shop at Kohl’s on Saturday, December 5^th or 12^th, starting at 6:00 a.m. and going throughout the day. More details will be available by November 1, 2020.

 

If you have any questions about the nomination process, feel free to contact Tommyafund@gmail.com
