Happy Monday! It is our last week of school in the month of April. We are approaching the final countdown of days for this school year. Thank you for all of your help in getting through Friday. I for sure wouldn't have survived without you. It is moments like those that show how we as a staff continue to come together to support one another through challenges. Hopefully, clear skies and rainbows are in our future!
Testing:
This is our quiet week as far as state testing goes. We will have a few third grade SAT 10 make-up tests to complete and then we will spend the remaining days prepping testing materials for the big chunk of testing that occurs in May. As we prep, there may be times where you will not be able to enter Mrs. Brown's office. Thanks in advance for your understanding!
Our Kindergarten through second grade DRA testing window is open. Please be sure you make arrangements to have the data on your possible retention students prior to the due date of our retention meeting google form. We will be reviewing this timeline at our staff meeting on Thursday morning.
Open Positions and Interviews:
We currently have three job postings. The first posting is for a custodial position that would start for the remainder of this school year. If you know anyone that is interested, please encourage them to apply!
We also have a general education teaching posting and a CD teaching posting up. James and I have been busy filling our available minutes with holding interviews and have started some hiring. Our interviews will continue Monday afternoon. These have been a great opportunity to screen candidates to find the right fit for DCE and to also take some time to truly brag on all of the amazing things about our school. There are many teachers from up north that are relocating to Florida. This is creating a "buyers market" for candidates and they are interviewing us just as much as we are interviewing them. We can't wait to share with you who our new additions to our staff will be soon!
Staff Lounge:
The staff lounge will be closed on Friday starting at 1:30 pm so that we can begin preparations for STAFF APPRECIATION WEEK. Please be sure that any food that you need from the fridge or any items that you may need from your mailbox are removed from this room before 1:30 pm on Friday. Otherwise, you will not be able to enter until the morning of Monday, May 3.
This Week's Schedule:
Have a great week!
-Keli and James
