Message from Dr. Breuder:

As we bring March to a close, I want to tell you about a couple of things we have been working on as a staff.  As you know, Wednesdays are early-release days.  Those days are set aside for a number of different opportunities for our staff to collaborate and work together in either teams, professional learning communities, or as an entire staff.  This week we participated in a professional development session, Interrupting Hate Speech, which was led by the Hazel Wolf K-8 Racial Equity Team (RET).  This was part 3 of a series of sessions.  This work is so important as we build a safe learning environment at Hazel Wolf.  Our Wolf Pact focuses on us being Curious, Caring, Connected and Supported.  Hate speech has no place in our school and in our community, so we want to make sure to have the tools to stop it immediately when it may occur. 

Additionally, the PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports) team has been working with the staff on using school-wide reflections with students across all grades, K-8.  This team has done a lot of work in helping us align how we are approaching this important step of reflecting on behaviors and then learning different tools and behavioral skills moving forward.  You may have seen a reflection sheet come home or been informed that your child is participating in a reflection with a staff member.  This has been an ongoing process with our students and staff as we teach into the Wolf Pact in being a caring and supportive community. 

Those are just a few areas of work; stay tuned for more updates!

This week the 5^th-graders will head to Nature Bridge for their overnight outdoor education experience.  Thanks to the 5^th-grade team for all your hard work in getting ready for this trip! We are looking forward to hearing the stories and adventures of their time at Nature Bridge!
