Mini Management Meeting Reminder

Just a reminder, we have a mini management meeting on Wednesday, September 16th. We'll use the time to get everyone caught up to where we are at this point in the year.

Jackie, could you share a little bit about the new "Y" collaboration, as well as a current list of children with severe food concerns.

Carol and Linda, can you bring an IHP list of who, where and why ~that you've completed so far this year.

Michelle, would you bring a detailed IEP report so that we might all be aware of where the children with more severe disabilities are. If you could include also a list of those kids who don't have an IEP but have a diagnosis, such as the child with albinoism and the child with autism, etc...

Anything else

AWESOME!

Just wanted to say what an awesome job everyone did at Preservice and the various other trainings we've just finished up. I know how much hard work went into getting everything prepared and presented!

Carol, your presentation at IHV training for Northern staff went so smooth. You have really gotten that whole process down, providing staff with clear and concise directions as well as the support and examples they need.

Michelle, you showed so much confidence while presenting to Head Start for the first time. That's always a tough spot, being the "new kid on the block," especially when persenting to staff who have just been your peers, but you handled it with ease! Your powerpoints were clear and you explained the processes well. Next year you'll know all the answers!

Linda, what a blast this summer talking about the era of "peace and love" with you. You helped many a day fly by. During the "health moment" at preservice this year, you really knew your stuff. There was no hesitation in your voice, you presented confidently and explained things so well.

Jackie, "Setting the Table Tone" was a great hit with everyone! And though I wouldn't normally admit it, it was a lot of fun to participate in. Your Nutrition Preservice also Rocked! There was so much important information shared, you provided hands on "fun" activities and while they can be a tough group to present to, the food service workers seemed to really enjoy the training.

Preservice 2009


Well girls, it's that time of year again, just a few more days to get ready, then POW! It's officially the 2009-2010 school year. Pull out your head bands and peace signs, this year's training theme is gonna take us back for a little "Peace, Love & Learning"

I've scheduled our Mini-Management meetings for this year, and will send everyone a copy for a reminder. They are also listed here on our page in the right hand column.

The summer has passed quickly but for the most part everyone seems to have a more relaxed aura about them. Hoping no one is feeling too much pressure, if you are give me a yell, and I'll see if there is anything I can do to help. I'm sure the coming weeks will provide more stress as we hit them head on but as always I know we will raise up to meet the occasion.

Nothing else to report now, if you think of anything you want to discuss at our first Mini-Management meeting shoot me an email.

Preservice 2008

Phew! I don't know about anyone else, but I sure have been breathing a sigh of relief now that those fast paced days of preparing and presenting are finally over.

I want to compliment you all on a job well done! I truely think this was one of our best ever training events and it's because of all of our hard work and preparation that went in to it!

It's such an honor to be a part of this team, knowing how hard you all work and how much dedication you have, not just to children and families but to providing staff with the tools they need to make us an Outstanding Program!
