Kudos!
- Kudos to Stephanie Rummler and Patti Tenhagen for your work with our students to infuse some holiday spirit into each school day!
- Spirit Days are...
- Monday/Tuesday - Ugly Sweater & Crazy Socks with Crocs or Birdenstocks!
- Thursday/Friday - Christmas Jammies!
- THANK YOU to Mike Jones for all of his Holiday games, prizes, activities, etc that started right after Thanksgiving break! It takes a lot of time and effort to put this all together for staff - please make sure you say THANK YOU to Mike for all of his time and effort to bring some cultural fun to staff!
- Thank you again to Mike Jones along with Stacey Stoughton for your time and efforts playing around with the potential thoughts for the technology in the new 6-8 building for academic classrooms. We think we have found a GREAT flexible option and they will be passing the technology along, to 7th grade math next, after the Holiday Break! The technology that will be coming around for staff to try out is the 86 inch TV, iPad, and Apple Pen. When these items come your way please try them out for two days and then pass them along to the next academic teacher! These will most likely be the items purchased for our academic staff (Math, ELA, Science, Social Studies, Spanish, and Self-Contained Special Education), initially, as we work to stay within our budget.
- Thank you to Kailee Smith, Patti Tenhagen, Scott Staude for taking the initiative to utilize some of the furniture options with students in order to gain their feedback as we work to develop our final furniture selections.

- Elective Staff:
- Please make sure your course selections for the 2021-2022 school year are in THIS slide show no later than Wednesday, December 16.
- Please do not email me your course selection information with a different email - we are wanting everything in one location to assist with planning and ensuring we have all the information together. If you don't like the template provided not a big deal! Look at slides 40 and 41 if you need an example as Wellness has their courses in the slides the way we would like to see them.
- Once they are in the slides I will come and touch base with you as touching base is much easier when the information is in the document to discuss.

As a reminder, as we near the selection of academic classroom furniture, the below image is the built-in storage in every academic space!
Parts of the 6-8 building will have stained concrete - below are samples of what it will look like. The top left and top right will be the colors used in the building. The others were additional choices that were not picked. There will also be the natural concrete look infused as well (natural is the space between the colors). This process is planned to begin this week!
Garage doors have been installed in the STEM rooms!
New curtains at BHS in the gym if you can't see those yet!
