March 16

We will continue on our path to refine our six systems (Culture of Universal Achievement, Standards Alignment, Data Analysis, Assessment, Collaboration and Interventions) to meet the ever-changing needs of our students/community. It is an honor to work with such a great staff that is truly committed to our children and community. We will be celebrating college week next week on campus. We have dress up days scheduled for every day. This is a great chance to share your college experience with your students. SCC college students will be visiting your classroom to share their college experience. Peter Pringle will be sending you a schedule.
College spirit next week 
 3/19: Crazy hair day
3/20: Dress for success
3/21: Wear SV spirit gear
 3/22: Dress alike
3/23: Wear college gear

JUST  A QUICK REMINDER OF OUR NEU COMMITMENT

We are BLESSED to have some of the best in the business at SV!  GO VISIT YOUR COLLEAGUES ON OUR CAMPUS!  Struggling with classroom management?  Want some out of the box ideas on student engagement?  Not sure what great academic conversations look and sound like?  Want ideas on quick and easy formative assessments to gauge what student "got" during your lesson?  JUST GO VISIT.  One period is ALL it would take and I definitely have names to give you of people to visit.  Why is this important?  Take a look at THIS EASY ARTICLE about Open Classrooms and just how awesome they are!!

Observable Fish Moments at SV:

Be There: Thank you for being there for our parents and students during conference week and working TOGETHER!! Thank you Mr. Kimble for starting a co-ed 5th grade basketball team on our campus.

Play: Carole thank you for planning such a fun McTeacher's night!! So FUN!!!

Choose your attitude: 

To actually choose how you respond to life, not just react, you must be intentional. Ask yourself throughout the day, "What is my attitude right now? Is it helping the people who depend on me? Is it helping me to be most effective?" NO EXCUSES!!

Make Their Day:  Pick up the phone and make a positive phone call to a student who always chooses to do the right thing EVEN when no is looking.

THROUGH THE FISH PHILOSOPHY, WE BUILD STRONGER RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE PEOPLE WE WORK WITH, THE STUDENTS WE TEACH AND THE PEOPLE WE LOVE.
