National School Lunch Week
The NSLW theme "Vote for a Winning School Lunch!" 2016 focuses on the importance of making healthy choices. Cafeterias will have special features and a ballot box for students to choose their "fave" lunch items. Make sure to remind students to stop by the cafeteria next week to choose their winning school lunch!
Housekeeping
- Let's make sure we are on time and at our duty spots on the days we have duty. Duty begins at 7:30 am.
- Let's tighten up our lesson closure procedures. We understand the confines a 47-minute class has but let's make every effort to have effective closure within the period. Sending students to their next class late has a negative impact on both your student and your colleagues.
- Teachers before you print something to the library printer please check with Jaime LeRoy. The printers in the library are for the use of the library primarily. Thank you for your understanding.
