World Down Syndrome Day (March 21): Please join Mrs. Laura's Pre-K Students in Observing World Down Syndrome Day on Monday, March 21st by wearing your craziest socks! World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD), March 21, is a global awareness day which has been officially observed by the United Nations since 2012. The date for WDSD being the 21st day of the 3rd month, was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome. #WorldDownSyndromeDay

Items From Previous Weeks
LETRS/Mental Health Trainings Coverage: In an effort to help provide certified staff with some extra time to complete the required district/state trainings we are going to offer Ms. Lloyd's assistance again for the spring semester. All certified teachers that have to complete LETRS/Mental Health Trainings may sign up for one 1/2 day on Ms. Lloyd's schedule to work on their 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 the end of school
- Write your name and Trainings in the box - i.e. "Cox Trainings"
- 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 coursework
- Teacher workroom, Teacher lounge, etc.
- If a Covid/Emergency Sub situation occurs and Ms. Lloyd must cancel, you will be able to pick another date and time
- This is optional, and is not required
Field Trip Fund: Please see below for information regarding field trip funds that have been provided to each school from the district.
- We have an ESSER Field Trips allocation available this school year and next to support learning recovery efforts. We have roughly $10,000 to spend between this year and next year.
- Each grade level has about $1,600 to spend.
- Certain field trips have already been approved by the district for these funds (see Gardner for specifics on if your field trip would meet requirements)
- be standards aligned that either build background knowledge and/or allow students to participate in culminating learning experiences,
- meet federal requirements of reasonable and necessary, and
- include all students (no exclusions for behavior, missing assignments, etc.)
- When you want to use this specific pot of money, please indicate it on your request.
