Weekly Update 9/19/22

September 20, 2022

Good Morning,

First off, we're changing how we communicate with our elementary families just a bit. Beginning this week the Elementary Weekly Bulletin will be sent home on Fridays rather than Mondays. The reason for this change is so that families have time to look over the bulletin over the weekend and plan for the week accordingly.

Next, in this week's Weekly Update, were talking about Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) in the Teaching and Learning Corner, congratulating Landon A. and Jacob M. for being chosen as middle school and high school students of the week for academic success in the classroom, reviewing upcoming calendar items, and talking a bit about about Homecoming Week which will begin on Monday, October 10th.

MS & HS Students of the Week

September 19, 2022

Each week we’ll be celebrating student academic success in middle and high school by naming two students of the week.  This week, the awards go out to Landon Avery for turning in an amazing written reflection on a STEM activity and James Miller for being “on top” of his safety exams in Agriculture Mechanics. Congratulations!

Strategic Planning Team

September 13, 2022
Hello Rangers!
 
We need your help.
 
This year we need to review and perhaps rework our Strategic Plan deeply. Much has changed since we penned our five goals around Learning and Teaching, Communication, Technology, Facilities, and Wellness. We have learned how what we wrote in 2019 works, and what does not. For instance, PEARL's needs are not represented and our work on multi-tiered systems of support was not included, and it has become clearer that we need to specifically plan for these and other issues. 
 
I would like to have an inclusive and representative group of students, staff, parents, and community members look closely at our current plan and create recommendations to the board for how we might adapt our plan to reflect our current needs. 
 
To start this process, I am setting up the first of two meetings on Thursday, October 20th from 5:30 to 6:30 in the board room or via Zoom as a hybrid meeting time/date/place. 
 
The first meeting will be to orient the attendees to the existing plan and have the affinity team (one team for each of our five goals) leaders talk about their committees, meeting times, etc. Parents, students, and community members will have the opportunity to join in scheduled meetings throughout the year for the purpose of reworking the goal areas as needed. 
 
The second meeting, to be scheduled in the spring, will be to review the work of the affinity teams over the year and prepare a presentation for the May board meeting. I see the larger Strategic Plan team becoming mostly these affinity team members. 
 
If you would like to participate in the initial meeting on October 20th from 5:30 to 6:30, please email Jami at jsukert@qsd48.org or call 360-765-2900 (leave a message). 
 
See you soon,
 
Dr. Frank Redmon
Superintendent

Wilderness Adventure Club

September 09, 2022

Wednesdays 3:00 5:00 pm (3rd - 5th Grade)

Meet by the statue in the front courtyard.

Wilderness Adventure Club has been around for many years. I am thrilled to announce that we are opening the club up to 3rd – 5th grade. I have been an outdoor educator for over a decade, and I am happy to be able to provide this program here in Quilcene. Activities will include games that teach about the outdoors, wildlife tracking, survival skills, campfires, friction fire, stewardship, traditional crafting, shelter building fishing, foraging, as well as leadership, bonding, fun and adventure!

Limited snacks are provided by the Quilcene Food Bank.

   I will be sending home registration forms (basically an ongoing field trip permission from).

*If I have a form on file, students are free to show up any Wednesday after school. *

Please pick up students promptly at 5:00 in front of the school. If you need to pick up a student early, call me and we can make arrangements.

We will be going off campus to outdoor destinations within walking distance. Popular locations include Worthington Park, the Community Center, the Silver Reach Preserve on the Big Quilcene River, the estuary at Quilcene Bay. We also have permission visit private lands with beautiful, forested trails here in Quilcene.

Students should be prepared for outdoor weather and have appropriate clothing. We will be going places that might not have trails so be prepared for bush whacking, pants will protect their legs. We will safely make campfires so don’t be surprised if they come back smelling like wood smoke.

Please feel free to call if you have any questions. Justin Lake
