The Middle Update 11/3/17

November is here!  Another busy week featuring 6th graders exploring the WI Science Festival, 7th graders getting trained in CPR/AED, Ms. Grace helping to make life in Africa come alive for our students, and many other solid learning experiences for our students.  Enjoy the extra hour of sleep this weekend!  I'm looking forward to a solid day of professional growth on Monday.

Article of the Week
The article this week highlights strategies we can use to build and grow those ever important relationships with students.  The message in this article serves as the backbone for the essential component needed to get our students to grow more than they every imagined.

"5 Tips For Better Relationships With Your Students"

PD Day Schedule for Monday
Monday has our typical work day hours with our Middle School Staff coming together at 8:00 am in Mrs. Rogness' room.  From there we will separate into department groups using Google Classroom to guide our work till the 11:30 lunch break.  We'll talk in more detail about the day's work which will culminate in a brief staff meeting at 3:00 to end our day.

Community Facility Advisory Committee
The community facility advisory committee met this past Wednesday and toured the Arlington Facility before their worked centered on reviewing the results from the recently completed facility study and discussed educational adequacy and capacity.  Please take a moment to review committee comments on key issues surrounding their work.  Also the progress of the committee's work can be reviewed in completion on the Facility tab on our website.  I will be soliciting perspectives from our teachers at our morning meeting on Monday, November 6th.

Veteran's Day AssemblyWe will be attending the annual Veteran's Day Assembly on Friday (11/10) at 9:00 am.  This will be in the Kerr Gym, and we will adjust the Nutrition Break Schedule on this day.

Committees resuming their work
We will be having our first Literacy Committee Meeting of the year coming up on Wednesday (11/8) at 2:50.  The Puma Pride Committee will also resume their work with a meeting on Monday (11/13) at 2:50.  In our first week, we will analyze the Puma Pride data from the 1st quarter, and plan for how we can use that data to continue our school improvement efforts.  Anyone is welcome to participate in any of these groups...just send me an email to let me know of your interest.
