What is the Principal Reading?

For kids: I'm looking for recommendations! My summer reading ended and during the holidays I'll find another kid book--maybe your recommendation will be the one I read!   I also recommend reading Newbery Medal and Honor Books,so it might be time to review the list! 

For Adults: Our professional culture continues to be anchored to many of the principles found in Dare to Lead by Brene Brown and other leadership texts. Latest leadership reading: FYI: For Your Improvement by Lombardo and Eichinger.

FALL MESSAGE FROM MR. I: Schools are better when we have healthy family partnerships. Thank you for making the fall such a great start to the year. Did you miss the Curriculum Night principal message? Find a video version here.

Thanks for helping with new safety items, such as: keeping the back gate closed;  Kinder/5th families go to the office to sign in vs. going to the temps first; and helping reduce "early bird" pick ups (after 2:30) so we can focus on safe dismissal. Your help makes a big difference! 

Speaking of safety, did you know each year principals give a "Conduct Code" presentation? The teachers, Mr. C and I ask students to discuss how to be "Respectful, Responsible, and Safe." We have amazing kids at Red Rocks–they are noted as a great bunch of learners. For the actual slides I use, feel free to email me.

Our SAC meetings continue to be called out by the district as a strong example of family/school partnerships. Keep in touch with items like budget and school performance, and you can find out more here.

Families review school choices each fall. Our  “Raccoon Run".is a great event to get to know our school. Thank you for enriching our students with such positive and healthy options. The Town also thanks you for the unique community connection this event brings each year.

Go Raccoons! --Mr. I
