Hey Panda Family,
Morning Arrival Adjustments: Starting January 5th, students will stay in the gym until the 8:05 bell, and students will eat breakfast in the cafeteria. We are returning back to how we handled arrival before Covid. The first few days will take some time to retrain our students, but we hope this will help alleviate the excess trash in the halls during morning arrival while also giving you back some planning time at the beginning of the day. Please see Master schedule (linked) for adjustments to AM duties.

Update from Mr. V (from Mr. V): Just wanted to give you a status on my surgery. It was scheduled for this coming Monday, but after investigating alternative radiological procedures that are far less invasive, involve an outpatient procedure versus a six to eight hour surgery followed by an eight to ten week recovery, and will not completely destroy my hearing in that ear, I’ve decided to pursue the radiology option. It's been an incredibly difficult journey of ups and downs (mostly downs) since the original diagnosis in March, so I am feeling hopeful that this procedure will be a success. Thank you to everyone for their positive thoughts, prayers, and support. Whatever you've been doing in your own way to help me, keep it up! Thank you!!!
Counseling Updates: Please see the following updates from Ms. Ceglowski.
- CARES team meets this Thursday. Please send concerns and requests to Mrs. Ceglowski.
- It's the holiday season which means an increase in counseling requests from families, teachers, and students. Please email/text me and remind me of any student needs as the days are starting to get away from me! Thanks!
- Please share any good deeds done by your students for the Wonderful Works segment on the news. Also, we really need some good jokes! Thanks for your help!
Recycle Bins: Please make sure students are only placing plastic and aluminum items in the clear recycling bins. The green recycling bins are for paper. Thank you!
LETRS Trainings: At my most recent principal's meeting they stated that they plan to open up registration for the next round of LETRS trainings sometime this week (I don't know the exact date - sorry). May be something you want to keep an eye on.
Morning Announcements: Ms. Ceglowski will email out the links for the Morning Announcements.
Staff Spotlight: From Ms. Rempe - Big thanks to Sonya for assisting my student after dropping their lunch :)
Shout out to Ms. Staley for another amazing choral concert! Great work helping us bring in the holiday cheer through music!

Need a hard copy of a Wonders Intervention? I have ordered several copies of several intervention ‘books’ from the print shop. If you want one, then please go to the room across from me (room 09) and look in the big brown cabinet. There are several copies of these binders in there. If you would like one, please take it! I made the copies so that you could have them to use.

Items from Previous Weeks
LETRS Support: In an effort to provide certified teachers some time during their work hours to complete their LETRS coursework, we are going to creatively utilize Ms. Lloyd. All certified teachers that have to complete LETRS may sign up for one 1/2 day on Ms. Lloyd's schedule to work on their LETRS coursework. This is how it will work:
- Pull up Ms. Lloyd's schedule here - Ms. Lloyd's Schedule
- Pick one 1/2 day that is available between now and Winter Break
- Write your name and LETRS in the box - i.e. "Cox LETRS"
- Ms. Lloyd will cover your class for the 1/2 day that you sign up
- On your day, you will stay on campus and find a quiet space to work on your LETRS coursework
- Teacher workroom, Teacher lounge, etc.
- If a Covid situation occurs and Ms. Lloyd must cancel, you will be able to pick another date and time
- This is optional, and is not required
We plan to see how this goes between now and Winter Break. If it goes smoothly, then we will consider offering it again for the spring semester. We hope this helps some!
Field Trips: All field trips for this school year must be submitted by Tuesday, December 21. There are fewer activity bus drivers. Dates are filling up fast. Reach out to Mrs. Gardner if you have questions.
