Kudos!!!- Thank you to Patty Firkus, Jean Fifer, and Vicky Leuck for your flexibility with where you were assisting students and staff these past few days while some of our students were virtual. It is always a great feeling to know that the entire team truly functions as a team! WE before ME :) Thank you!
- Thank you to Mike Jones for your commitment to BASD and assistance with lining up student volunteers to help with the high school boys state volleyball tournament! Awesome to see and a great message for our boys volleyball team as well - though they did not have the chance to play at state they had the chance to support other student athletes who did - teaching grace and the importance of being happy for others!

- Emmons will be meeting with each group to go over selections they recommend based on whaat they heard from each team of staff. They will be looking to see if what they captured is what is desired from each group, what tweaks still are needed, etc.
- Next week Wednesday, November 18, Group 2 will be meeting with them again (counseling/office staff, PE, LMC). Please let me know if the times do not work for you so that we can shift groups around!

BASD Building Use: This is just a reminder that we have decided to continue to limit building use through December 2020.
- During the week please remember to stay out of the buildings before 6:00am and after 9:00pm.
- This means buildings and grounds will be closed on weekends. We recognize that this will disappoint groups that have traditionally had weekend programs in district buildings in November and December.
- BASD Required Trainings:
- Just a friendly reminder to complete the additional two required trainings shared with everyone from Connie Zinnen. Below are the two training and links!
- Both completions should be submitted to Tobie Green by November 24, 2020.
- Monday/Tuesday - November 23 & 24 - The Winter iReady Diagnostic Window will open and close on December 18, before Christmas break. The diagnostic is being given prior to winter break because we started school earlier and the end of the term is on December 18th. So... this is the correct time frame to be giving the diagnostic!
- Please think ahead as to how and when you plan on giving the winter diagnostic. We would prefer for all staff to give the diagnostic closer to November 23 versus December 18 as you never know what the days and weeks will bring!
- Reminder that once you start the iReady Diagnostic students have 15 days to complete the assessment.
- Online instruction will pause starting November 23rd.
