Nuts and Bolts Items:
-CLASSROOM TEACHERS: In addition to staff, the district is requesting all students grades 4-12 also complete the District Culture & Climate Student Survey by Jan. 16. Please plan a time for your homeroom students to do it this week or next week by sharing the link. It should only take about 10 minutes.
-WIN Time-Cycle 4 ELA: Begins on Jan. 13 - Feb. 11. As a team, please. be sure to look over this so you are prepared next week and have an opportunity to get any questions answered. More information can be found in email from Vest on Dec. 12.
-1-1 meetings: I look forward to meeting with each of you over the next few weeks to listen to both building-wide and individual needs. Hearing your perspectives will help me better understand our current priorities and allow me to provide greater clarity, consistency, and accountability as we work together to make WIS the school we want it to be. Please reach out if you would like to schedule a time now; otherwise, I will be in touch very soon to set up a meeting.
-Missing Work/Recess Ongoing Feedback: As we implement our new game plan, please continue to give feedback, suggestions, ask questions, etc. on our document. There is a spot at the top of the document to add this.
