Monday Memo Mantra

Monday memo November 24 st- Steve's Real birthday.

Short Blog as I'm not sure if this computer can handle much more. Its needs a personal day. 

Congratulations

Shane's family has a new puppy named Marlo. There is no disputing she is adorable! 
Had a picture but Mr. Computer system is refusing to work. 

Staffing

Lots of activity this week:

Our Susan has flown home to Nova Scotia  to look after family for the week. Mayor McAteer will be in to teach while Susan is out. The kids are in good hands that's for sure. Need to say a little prayer that things will all fall into place for Susan's family. We want  her to play tetris and win! 

Tuesday pm- Andrew O is out for BL I have no one yet. This will have to be an internal coverage. 

Tuesday/ Wednesday- Shane and I are out to Threat assessment training in La Crete. Marvin will act one day and Sheila the next. Megan is in to cover Wednesday but I have no one yet to cover Tuesday am. May have to go internal for that one. 

Wednesday- Kim is off to Edmonton with Sean for three days starting Wed. Sean is on the next phase of his medical journey- great thing Kim is going this time to assist. She is wonder woman and doesn't even know it. She will, when she wakes up with those gold  bracelets on. She thought they were handcuffs, but no girl, they are Wonder Woman cuffs. Klink them together to see what happens! Koteah is in for two days. No sub for Friday except the afternoon. I'll talk to Kim about that. 

Friday- Wanda P is out, Jane an unqualified, is in to sub. 


Thank you to you

Thanks to Hannah for the cool Tae kwon Do exploratory. The kids absolutely adore that exploratory. She has so many kids and they do exactly what she tells them or else! 

Thanks to Marvin and Sheila for acting when we need you. You are calm and cool there isn't anything that can rattle you. They are just the people you want leading this school. 

Thanks to Debbie and Megan for making Operation Christmas child such a positive experience. You poked so many hearts this week. Thanks to Super A and Arnold Enterprises for helping us with the boxes and taking them to the bus depot. 

Thanks to Shane for leading the staff meeting consultations. He does a fabulous job of that. It went quickly and I hope  you felt  your voice was heard. 

Thanks to teachers for making the calls home and for building relationship with many parents and guardians in interviews. You learned so much about your students just from the conversations you had. You were exhausted Friday I know, but your kids didn't know and that was very honorable of you to keep your integrity even when tired. 

Thanks to our Lilli people you are rescuing kids! Andrew N, Michelle, Olivia, Wanda N and Carmen you are making such a huge difference in getting these kids hooked on reading. Thank you for your time and commitment to this. Thanks to Kim P for facilitating this program and training our people. 



Events/ Instruction and Programming

There is no family Literacy Night this week. The calendar has it in there but the timing is poor. We will reschedule that. 

Exploratories Friday

Student council meeting Monday at Noon. 

Want to turn  your class behavior around? Just start handing out stars when you see something fabulous happening. Recognize the good the students do and more good will follow. We have STARS pads at the office. When is the last time you wrote one? This week on Friday we are picking stars out but this time staff who wrote the stars are getting the prize. That happens on Friday Pm. 

Guided Reading- We are going to visit classes to see just how guided reading works over the next months. Thanks for letting us in. 

Math - Geri is in Tuesday morning and Wed pm. She is going to wander into your class and your kids will drop everything and tell her what they know. Relax no worries she is going to help your thinking.
