To support the video, as well as, continuing to communicate all the protocols and procedures we have put in place to reflect the strange and ‘new’ start to this school year I put together an outline of our school day. This document has been made, reviewed and trialed many times by all of our Truman Elementary Staff. We have made edits and thought outside the box to put ideas on paper in order to make our school day run smoothly and keeping the safety of our staff and students at the forefront of our daily purpose.

If you would like to purchase anything from the school supply “optional” list – you may bring the item(s) to Open House. • Monday, August 24th is the first day of school! I want to leave you with two things today: 1. I have talked to MANY of you over the last month/week regarding the next school year and our re-entry plan and the options and what is best for YOU and YOUR KIDDOS and your situation… in reflection after having these conversations, as well as, being involved daily in the constant change of things I want to continue to make it clear where I stand and make it known that no matter your choice for the 20-21 school year… we are ONE TRIBE and will continue to get through this together. I came across this quote over the weekend; “School leaders have a unique opportunity to shift how school is done by placing students in their right place in education – AT THE CENTER – where they belong and where they deserve to be to ensure that school transformation continues long into the 22nd century” I feel this is a great opportunity to meet you and your student at the center of their educational path and continue to focus on what your child NEEDS. I am here to support and challenge the comfort zone in order to best educate your student. Our Teacher Tribe is up for this challenge and we will conquer this year together! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! Reach out to me if you need anything at all!
