Throughout the year, teachers need to take professional development days to meet with specialists, plan for curriculum, or conduct 1:1 assessments. When this happens during the school day, a "guest teacher" will guide your children throughout the day. Students are expected to follow the same classroom rules. I check in with the guest teacher and follow up with your child about the decisions they make. It is always nice to hear when the guest teacher tells me how great your children were and how hard they worked. It will help your child to have follow up discussions at home with you when they speak about guest teachers, or substitute teachers. Thanks for your help in this.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, September 28th, our team will be meeting with a writing consultant to look over student writing and to help guide our next steps in instruction. I will be in the building but in another room from 12-3. I hope your child has a great afternoon and cannot wait to hear about the strong choices he/she makes!
