Karter Adonis Jacobs-
Tory's baby arrived on Friday, January 31st. He weighed 9 lbs and 4 oz and was 21 inches long. Please keep Tory and her sweet boy in your thoughts. I know we are all excited to welcome our newest Vogel Texan!!!
The Texan Challenge-
A Texan Challenge board will be hung outside of all classrooms starting this week. As we come in for quick visits, walkthroughs, and observations, your board will be filled out according to how many of the pieces of your game board are seen during that time frame. These game boards will take the place of walkthrough tickets. Everyone will bring their game boards to the February faculty meeting. Challenge boards will be collected and calculated to according to the highest percentages of completed game boards. The top 20 teachers will win a prize!
Technology Tuesday-
On Tuesday (2/4), the technology department will out to remove our old computers and replace them with Windows 10 computers. Please make sure you have saved everything off of your desktop to your U drive or a memory stick. You will lose everything on your hard drive with the replacement of the CPU. The technicians will work through the list of teachers/rooms that need replacement. It will take roughly 10 minutes per room, however, while they are working you won't be able to use your computer/projector. Please plan accordingly. They will need to work quickly to get our whole campus completed by the end of the day. Let me know if you have questions.
Wednesday: 6th Grade Irons Visit-
Our 6th graders will be split into two groups for the Irons visits. 5th graders will follow a flipped schedule. 6th grade will follow an altered flipped schedule. The schedule is attached below.
Teachers' Lounge-
There have been several students sighted in the teachers' lounge recently. Please do not ask children to get something for you out of the lounge. If you have specific questions regarding students in the lounge, please let me know.
Kathy's Last Day-
Kathy Ciancuilli's last day was Friday, January 31st. We are sad to see her go, but so excited for her new adventure. Shan Brumfield will be in the library for the next couple weeks until Ashley Colvin can start.

Kyle's presentation has been rescheduled to Wednesday, February 19th in the afternoon. 5th grade will attend the presentation at 1:30 and 6th grade at 2:40. A modified schedule will be sent out as the date gets closer.
