These pics of Mr. Engel’s class field trip were too good not to share!!! I appreciate Mr. Engel and Mr. Huddleston’s efforts to facilitate a memorable experience for their students.
I have an Aver Document Camera for someone to test out for us. This is a device we would like feedback on in comparison to the Hue Cameras. If you are interested in taking a look at the Aver Camera and providing feedback it is in my office for checkout. I would appreciate insight on several building representatives.
PBIS Update: CRE received a 100% on our SET Evaluation for PBIS implementation. Please review the attached link to the document that highlights the areas of strength and feedback on where to focus our attention in preparation for next year. This is just one step in the process we have initiated for school recognition status. The great news is that the expectation is that we would fall behind with this year of transition, but this team stepped up and did not drop the ball at all in focusing on positive behavior interventions. This is a huge accomplishment and speaks very highly to the faculty and staff here at CRE. #proudprincipal
Take a moment and thank a member of our CRE PBIS Team as they have lead us all through this process which has required more intentional effort during this year of transition.

Data Day Reflection: The instructional conversations hosted during data days are impressive. I truly believe this time spent collaborating about specific scenarios is what enables us to move academically. I am impressed with the level of academic focus and recognize the depth to which we know our students. Thank you for your good work!
Hiring Update: We have scheduled second round teaching interviews for next week. It is an exciting time as we finalize the hiring process for both the 1st and 2nd grade positions here at CRE.
Billy Long has cancelled his visit to CRE, at this time we are not planning to reschedule this event.
Bucket Fillers: Everyone who donated and/or participated in the Cold Water Challenge yesterday really “showed up” for kids that day. It is moments like that when I can feel the impact our team has and can have on our students and their families. The connections we have are a lifeline to these families in their time of need. We will all, if you have not already, experience a life crisis of some kind and it is critical to have a healthy support system in place. I am proud and honored to be a layer of support for the Guaer’s and the Major’s at this point in their journey. Yesterday gave each of the boys something to look forward to, whether to experience in person or watching the video with his family. Hope goes along way for children and families in crisis. $400 dollars does provide a little relief and with that comes HOPE!!! Thank you all!!!
Donna Schisler did not hesitate when asked to help me out this afternoon. Around this place you just roll with the flow sometimes, and that she did. I sure appreciate her cooperative nature and insight in many aspects of shared decision making. Donna, you are a valued representative of our CRE Family.
April Mulnik does a great job of passing along information related to the pulse of the building. I am one person and need information from difference aspects of the school business. I value her thoughts and appreciate the communication based on what is best for our students.
