Monday Morning Memo 4.5.21

We hope you all head a wonderful three day weekend and that you were able to spend some time relaxing or with some people that are special to you.  We were lucky to end last week with such a special day.  Despite the rain, our Cubs were able to gather together with their lunches, towels, teddy bears, and friends and spend time picnicking together.  Then, after school, James, Mrs. Defond, and I were able to attend the Do the Right Thing Award Ceremony to recognize Ford Gainvors for his kind actions during the pandemic to one of his neighbors.  The day wrapped up with Ms. Crowder and the fifth grade teachers celebrating many of our Cubs that were inducted into the National Elementary Honor Society.  Although we have had some crazy and stressful days, it is days like these that help us remember why we love what we do!

Testing:

This week we begin the first session of our FSA testing window.  Our staff and students are ready to start showing off all that they have learned since returning to school in late August.  Although we lost some face-to-face learning time at the end of last school year, we have seen our Cubs grow so much academically this year.  We may still be uncertain what the FSA results may yield for our school and our students, but we do know that with all of the challenges that we faced this year that we all showed up, put forth our best effort, and inspired our students to show grit each and every day.  It is time to breathe, and know that we have done what we could for our kiddos and now it is their time to shine.

Below is a photo of the days that we are encouraging staff to where their Mission Possible Shirts.  This will allow us to make out kiddos and staff that are testing know that we are thinking of them as they are testing.

Remember, all testing information is posted in our DEC Staff Shared Drive in the "Assessments" folder.  We are pulling quite a few staff members to assist with testing.  We also have schedule changes occurring on all 5th grade testing days.  Please be sure to frequently check this folder for updated information.

For those of you testing on Tuesday, please remember that you should plan to visit Mrs. Brown's office between 7:30 and 7:50.  This will allow us a few minutes to get on campus and pull out your test materials in the morning.

This Week's Schedule:

Good luck to all of you testing, and thank you to the rest of you for being so flexible!  Our Cubs will do awesome.... they have GRIT.... and they won't quit!

Have a great week!
-Keli and James
