Wow!! That is a lot!! We are so fortunate to have each of you in our Stoneridge Family!
Big Updates!!
Rugs: Yes, rugs. I mean, YES RUGS!! They are coming back. Brian, Silvia and Cedric are working to get them out of storage and ready for your classrooms.
SUPPLIES: Communal supplies are OK this year. QUESTION~ When do you want parents to get them to you? My guess is BTSN and first week of school. Please let me know, so I can share with parents.
Back To School Night-FLIPPED: The majority of you voted for a flipped BTSN so that is what we are going to do. I wanted to let you know so you can start planning. I will send more information this week. One way you can do a video is by using FlipGrid which allows you to talk through your PowerPoint presentation. This may be the best bet, but I am happy to talk other options through with you.
Bell Schedule: Here is our bell schedule.
*Notice the three AM recess times: 1st~ 10:06-10:23, 2nd/3rd~ 10:28-10:45, 4th/5th~ 10:50-11:07
Master Schedule: This is the Master Schedule I have created. It is tentative, but I wanted to share in case you see any glaring issues.
Patience, Please😊: Brian wants all of you to know that they will get to everything. They are in crunch time, hurrying to get everything done! It may seem like they are not getting to something on your list, but they will!
Coming next week in the Blog:
Stipend Positions: I will share the list of Stipend positions so you can put your name in for those.
The Site Contribution List: I will share next week so you can look at it. We will need to make some changes when we are together next week.
Duty Schedule: Erin and Stephanie were awesome enough to offer to help. We are going to get it squared away this week.
Our Site PD Day is August 2nd. We will be meeting all day as a staff, in person, together!!! Eeek! Amazing! It will be a day of building relationships and learning about one another.
We will spend some time together on Aug. 3rd and 4th. I am not sure exactly how long, but I will not take too much of your time. I know you are eager to get ready! I will share our schedule as soon as possible!
Please enjoy this last week! I know you have already been busy working, but don't forget to take some time for yourself. See you soon! And another big welcome to our new staff!
