K8 Weekly Memo

Happy Late-Start Monday! I hope that everyone had a restful and safe weekend. Yesterday's road conditions were terrible, and today's are not much better. I was out sanding my lane this morning and found the side roads very slick. Remember to give yourself extra time to travel to work when the roadways are poor.


Recess and Playground Safety - Action Needed

We want our students to have healthy outside breaks regularly; however, we need them to be safe!  Please report any icy conditions to Sherri or myself to address them.  You can also help by spreading de-icer as needed.


The covered play area can be very slick if students have compact snow on their shoes. Please remind students to walk onto the concrete surface when they initially enter the covered play area. 


If it is freezing and you have a student with respiratory concerns, like asthma, please provide an inside opportunity for them to have recess.  The gym or K8 conference room could be used for a few students. 


Lockdown Drill 

On Wednesday @ 1 PM we will have a Shelter-in-Place Drill.


Shelter-in-Place limits the exposure of students and staff to hazardous materials, such as chemical, biological, or radiological contaminants, released into the environment by isolating the inside environment from the outside. 


A detailed description will be sent later today. 


MS Basketball Schedule Change

Today's away basketball game has been changed to a home game! 


MTSS Updates

We are all set with subs for our data review day on the 23rd.  Rotating Subs  Team rotations begin in the conference room during PLC's at 7:15 and continue through the day until 3:30.  Data Review Day ScheduleThere will be no groups that day and MTSS paras are invited to be part of the conversation as their schedules allow.


Materials provided for you:

  • Updated data cards sorted by risk level

  • Intervention options

  • Winter screening data
