BIMAS - The window will open Monday afternoon.   Please remember this is not a summary of your experience with the student, but a quick check on the last 7 days.  Data needs to be entered before leaving on Monday.

PTO - Feb. 24 - This is a date that I am currently monitoring for PTO use.  Please connect with me if you have any questions.

Summer School 2025 - Please consider being a part of our Summer School experiences.  Students enjoy seeing teachers they are familiar with.  You are all a very important part of making SS successful. 😊 Interested?  Complete this interest form.  Thank you!

REMINDERS:

School Attendance Confirmation Forms - We will NOT be sending home an attendance confirmation form.  I will be communicating 25-26 school assignments through email.  

100th Day Challenge - Like last year, we will challenge our entire building to make 100 positive contacts with families.  Preferably, this is a phone call, but email, notes, TP messages work too.  The chart will be posted in the lounge.  Our goal would be to complete this chart by the end of February. 


PEERseverance (Recognize)

Give students the challenge to notice other students practicing Perseverance this week. When they do, ask them to write down or share with you verbally 1) the name of the student they saw and 2) the specific way they practiced Perseverance. Let the class know that if you get 10 or more recognitions, you will have a Perseverance Party at the end of the week that might include free time, a brain booster, or something delicious. Be intentional about telling students why they earned the rewarding experience by demonstrating Perseverance as a group.

~McKenna & Carissa for demonstrating patience, flexibility, and professionalism as we continue to learn more and more about ACT 20 and the need to adjust some IEP language. 

~Michelle & Carrie for preparing all of our Reading Plans and supporting classroom teachers with implementing these plans.

~Janet & Jennifer for finding a spot for our EA computer and providing the directions sheet.

~Dottie for joining us again in 1st grade as Janel's LTS.  The Tanner team is happy to have you back!

~Shana for the outstanding 5K winter celebration!  The students did amazing.  Thank you for preparing them and providing a great show for our large audiences.

~Classroom teachers for all the flexibility with schedule changes again last week...that should be it for a while. 😊
