Monday Memo

 

Good Monday Morning.  I hope that everyone had a wonderful and relaxing weekend.  Sunday afternoon, I headed to the Rural Alliance Principal conference in Spokane.  I will be attending this conference over the next two days.  While I am out, Matt Cobb and Mary will be helping in my absence.  Bryce will be available to help today too!  

 

Mask Mandate Lifted

Today, students will come to school for the first time since March of 2020 without the mask requirement! We are looking forward to seeing our students smiling faces!

 

It is certainly excited to see this step towards normalcy; however, we know that some continue to have COVID concerns as they have individuals within their home or family that may be immunocompromised.

 

Some staff and students may continue to wear masks. We desire to continue to maintain a safe and healthy learning community, and support the personal choice to wear masks!

 

Learn more about how MWSD has updated our COVID policy at our school website.

 

New Enrollments

We do expect a slight uptick in our enrollment as the mask mandate has been lifted.  So, far we have two families enrolling this week. 

PA System

I am excited to see our PA system getting back online. Once it is fully operational, we will start doing the flag salute each morning at 8:30! I'll initially start it off and then get some students to help!

PBIS

It is exciting to see the classrooms earn their PBIS Classroom Party!  Today, Bryce will be delivering banana splits to a few classrooms.  Then we will be doing additional rounds on Wednesday and Thursday.  What time works best for your classroom party? Please be sure to schedule your party with me.  I am looking forward to awarding your class!

 

I am going to be stopping by Costco on Tuesday to get the requested individual classroom rewards.  Please be sure to share any additional requests with Tammy.  She will be creating the Amazon order early this week.

 

 

MAP Data Reports

Do you need help accessing your classroom's MAP data?  Please join me for a Reports Workshop on Wednesday at 3:30 PM to review how to log into NWEA and access reports.  Let's meet in the Basecamp room in the middle school hall.  Additionally, NWEA has loads of professional learning resources at: https://www.nwea.org/professional-learning-overview/.

 

 

Coach Vince

Coach Vince Lombardi is not the only great Coach Vince!  I am excited to have the wonderful Coach Vince Songayloon campus this Thursday and then again on March 23rd.  Mr. Songaylo will be meeting with individuals to explore MAP data.  Here is a link to the Data Refection form that will be used for the data conversation.  Please explore the first two pages prior to meeting with Vince.
