**Elementary Staff Meeting** is Wednesday, March 10, at 3:30 in the Elementary Library. Agenda items include a brief discussion on the superintendent walkthrough and a PBS activity in which teachers will begin developing the PBS matrix to show how respect, responsibility and safety will look in the classroom, cafeteria, hallway, bathrooms and playground. Playground/cafeteria associates are asked to attend. **PBS Workshop** – I will be at PBS workshop with PBS team on Tuesday, March 9 **Building Leadership Team Meeting** will be Thursday, March 11, at 7:30 in the Elem. Conference Room. We will also talk about the superintendent walkthrough and several other issues. **MushHusky Assembly** will be on Thursday at 1:45 – 3:00. K,1 – 1:30, 2,3- 1:35, 4,5,6 - 1:40 The assembly needs to start promptly at 1:45 – 2:45. The high school will have a cheer at 2:45 – 2:50 and I will do the “pie in the face” 2:50 – 3:00. The MushHusky Assembly will be on the Iditarod which the 4th, 5th & 6th graders have studied as part of their Western Region Unit in 4th Grade Social Studies. The K-3 students do not have much knowledge of the Iditarod and its history. I put a packet of information in your box on the history and current Iditarod. I also put some background info on MushHusky. Please take a few minutes before the assembly to go over that information with students. You can also find lots of information, including a race map, at www.adn.com or by Googling Iditarod. I typically ask for budget requests to be turned in by Spring Break. I will be meeting with the Administrative team on Monday and should have more information by the end of next week. **End of the Quarter** will be Friday, March 26. We should have report cards ready to go home on April 2. I am trying to give everyone a chance to participate in a walkthrough. Please let me know if you have not participated in one this year. Let me know if you are planning to be in the building during Spring Break. Shorty is going to strip and burnish the main elementary hallway. There will be times when you cannot go down the hallway. I have several requests to place student teachers here next Fall. Please let me know **ASAP** if you are interested in having a student teacher during the Fall semester. (They need to know right away)
