As we begin the search for our next superintendent, we are conducting an online survey with KASB to find the characteristics our community is looking for in a superintendent. The survey takes 5 minutes and can be found using the QR code or this link: https://t.co/qgU8joqHte

If you have a student who will be entering kinder in August 2023, you are invited to our Dual Language Lottery Meeting. The meeting is mandatory for families who live outside of the PVE boundary area, so save the date and plan to come learn more about our Dual Language Program.

Missing school is missing out. Each day missed is 6 hours of instructional time lost. Consistent attendance in school leads to consistent attendance in the workforce. Set the tone early and build lifelong habits for the future.

We tend to talk about the positive effects on students while greeting them at the door. Why have we not talked about the positivity for teachers? There is a special moment that happens everyday with every student while greeting them at the door. Moments matter!

Monday mornings can be tough, but keep in mind that some of your students are looking forward to returning to you and feeling safe with the stability they feel with you. 🧡

The first week of school should focus on building relationships. And part of that is establishing routines, procedures, and expectations. Consistency helps students feel more secure.

Empathy is so important and must be modeled and taught. 🙌

We hire teachers based on their strengths but then we manage them based on their weaknesses. This is a morale buster. Leaders, help them develop those strengths this new school year and watch them do amazing things!

How we see our kids matters and influences our interactions. 🙌

I love this idea! What a great way to ensure those positive notes are making it home😊

Teacher Tired. Few people know tired like teachers. In fact research found that teachers make more minute-by-minute decisions than brain surgeons, and that’s extremely tiring. For the new year, develop routines & habits that help streamline your day & make self care priority 1!

Effective teachers don't focus so much on rules, but more on relationships, routines, & expectations. If you focus mainly on rules, you will spend most of the year enforcing them. But if you focus on relationships, routines, & expectations, you rarely have to defer back to rules.
