TO GIVE A STAFF A SHOUT OUT!

From David P: Thank you to all the Electives teachers and Dr. Fletcher-Lambert for putting together the Global Cultural Awareness Assembly, and a HUGE thank you to Jenny Stearns who kept us all on task and did way more than her share of the work to make this even happen!

From Beth C: Thank you, Sara Beattie, for creating and maintaining the Team 7 Red Family Connections Meetings Spreadsheet as well as the communication through ParentSquare! Your teammates are so very grateful! We love having you on our Team!

From Heidi B: All teams- Clearly invested in the welfare of your students! A pleasure to sit in on conferences with you.

From Heidi B: Sharlie Yazzie- Going above and beyond to help our Hispanic parents receive more access to information.

From Cindy M: All 6th teachers! Thank you for your help and support during SOS training for the students. It is clear to me your concern and care for your students and their wellbeing. I can't tell you how much I learn about the students from this training and not just about suicide. I truly believe this program saves lives and meets the needs of this age group!

From Anonymous: Val- You are my hero. The support and insight that you provide to our TIA kiddos has supported my own personal growth. Thank you for how you invest in these students. These students show a marked positive difference after just a couple weeks in your class!!!

BLACKOUT DATES AND PROTOCOLS

As a reminder, the days before and after a holiday (see below) are blackout dates for ALL staff. (Classified, certified, and ancillary) You must have principal pre-approval if you must call off for extenuating circumstances. Please don’t plan a trip without prior approval. Thank you for understanding.

“Personal leave will not be granted on unless you receive pre-approval from principal.: 1) the day prior or subsequent to any scheduled holiday, 2) the first or last instructional week of the school year, 3) Parent/Teacher conference days, 4) make-up snow days, 5) testing days for test administrators and proctors, and 6) district wide staff development days.”

Any day we are above the 10% threshold. When we hit the 10% threshold, I will then need to deny. It is very helpful when you secure a sub.

Upcoming Blackout Dates Include:

November 8, 12, 26

December 2, 20

January 6
