December 4 - 8

  

 Need to Know

Holiday Music - Get out and support our musicians in their upcoming holiday concerts!
    Band - Monday, December 4th at 7pm
    Orchestra - Tuesday, December 12th at 7pm
    Jazz Band - Dale's Weston Lanes - Thursday, December 14th 6-8 pm
    Choir - Sunday, December 17th at 4 pm

Parent Teacher Conferences - At our BLT meeting this week it was agreed that for our next PT conference night we will maintain the separated options for parents, however, we will increase the in person opportunities and decrease the amount of Webex opportunities we offer.  The general feedback was that we needed to provide more in person options for our parents.

The iPad Visual Timer - The iPad has a built in timer that can be accessed from the Clock app or from within the Control Center. The iPad timer is a powerful tool in the classroom because it not only aids in time management but also visually showcases the passage of time, providing students with a tangible and engaging way to understand the temporal aspects of their tasks and activities. Teaching our learners how to use the timer to support their on task work rhythm could be impacted and supportive of their ability to gain independence and self advocacy skills which we know helps to support learner self efficacy. The timer can also be operated in Split Screen, which allows the learner to have the visual timer on one side of their screen with their content on the other. Set a Timer From Control Center on iPad

Share your families holiday treat - Families often have unique food items for the holidays.  On December 20th, bring your family's special holiday food to share with colleagues in the teacher lounge! (Potluck of holiday favorites).

Pride Tickets:  All staff are asked to send three Pride tickets to students per week. Use the rotation calendar to help provide an equal rotation. Teachers are welcome to send more than directed on the calendar. This action step should increase the amount of positive feedback parents and students hear about all the good they are doing.
