FLUSHING WIPES IS A, NO NO!!

The plumbing back ups yesterday were caused by cleaning / baby 

wipe clogging the systems. Flushing wipes is a NO-NO!!. If you 

need to use them and need a sanitary disposal solution please see admin. 

**Also: 

• We will be checking all bathrooms to make sure kids do not 
• have access to them.
• Wipes need to be put up and only available under adult supervision. 

TEAM BUDGETS

There will bee a spending freeze for the month of March. Your teams 

may submit orders up to February 28. This will allow us to assess our 

budget and make sure we are in good standing for the remainder of the 

year. Teams will resume purchases for the month of April. 

PRELIMINARY SURVEY FOR MARCH 2ND PD 

We will send out the sign up form for the March 2nd PD day by 

this Tuesday. Here is the info we sent to team leaders: 

What will this day look like? The morning teachers will participate in 

salon choices resulting in a Visible Impact for all learners. Salon times 

are from 8:30 -11:00a.m. A google form link to choose a session will go

RESPONSIVE CLASSROOM CORNER

Reconnecting and relationship building article:

“Teachers often emphasize this aspect of community building at the beginning of the school year, but it’s just as important to maintain these relationships throughout the school year. After all, people change as they grow and learn. How different are your students now compared to who they were in September?”  Click and read the full article to explore a few activity ideas to try as part of your Morning Meeting that will support students getting to know each other better.
