First, I cannot tell you how much I am enjoying being in Ebinport and working with such a great group of teachers and staff! Thanks to all of you for your openness and welcome.
AFTER SCHOOL MEETINGS-
Next week will be Committee meetings after school.
We will be having a 3:00 Faculty meeting on October 18.
SLO/GBE- More information is coming soon for SLO/GBE meetings, but in the meantime, please start pulling the data your grade level will be using to determine your goals. You can be ready with the data and your proposals and leave the final documentation until after I meet with all of you. The final template will soon be available and it does need to be used for the final SLO/GBE.
Observations- I will be starting my observations next week and my goal is to do 30 before Rhonda gets back. I look forward to getting into the classrooms and talking to you and your students more.
SAFETY- You are all aware of the shooting at an Anderson county elementary school this week. Although our district has many safeguards in place, It is always a good time to reiterate the safety precautions to keep the students and staff safe. Please read the policy below and especially the bulleted items. If you are asked by any parent concerned about the safety of their children, something like the following statement should be sufficient.
Please be assured that we continually review and update our safety and crisis plans and that the safety of your children is our first priority.
Policy ECA Security Issued 02/14
Purpose: To enhance the security of the district's occupants and propert
The district maintains school buildings and grounds for the education and recreation of the school children in the district. No one may use the buildings or grounds in a way that would interfere with their most effective use for the benefit of the school children.
The principal/director has overall responsibility for security and safety of the occupants of the building. He/she may delegate specific responsibilities such as ensuring that:
1. classroom doors are shut and locked while class is being taught or when rooms are vacant
2. employees, visitors, vendors, volunteers, and high school students are visible wearing an identification badge at all times on campus,
3. all visitors, vendors district employee(s) not assigned to the building, and volunteers are entered into the district's visitor management system by a school district employee, and
4. the number of exterior doors that are unlocked during the school day is minimized.
Faculty, Staff and other occupants shall ensure doors and windows to their assigned spaces are closed and locked, and designated equipment is turned off at the close of the school day. Custodians are responsible for checking behind occupants for these actions and for ensuring that all doors and windows in common areas are closed and locked, and remaining designated equipment is turned off as the building is closed for the day.

Children's Theater Field Study Information and FAQ's!
Please contact Olivia Edge at oliviaedge@hotmail.com if you have any additional questions. Here is the schedule for field trips to the children's theatre this year:
Kindergarten--"Go, Dog! Go the musical," Tuesday, April 18th, 10:00
1st grade—“A Year With Frog and Toad,” Friday, October 7th, 10:00
2nd grade—“Grace for President,” Wednesday, October 26th, 9:45

1. Where is the play being held?
The Children's Theatre of Charlotte is located at the ImaginOn Library:
300 E 7th Street, Charlotte, NC 28202.
This is approximately 24 miles
2. What is the approximate length of the play?
The plays and musicals are usually a little over an hour, but less than an hour and a half. The play start time varies per production between 9:45 and 10:00. The buses will be lined up to pick up children when the show is over (directed and organized by the fabulous staff of the theatre). There is a beautiful new park (First Ward Park) directly across the street from the theatre if you would like to have lunch there (depending upon the weather). The theatre will send specific instructions for bus drop off, pick up, and parking to our school before each scheduled trip.
3. Was the grant funded?
Yes, the grant was funded! However, there has been an increase in transportation costs this year by the district, so we are asking for a $3 fee per student to cover the difference. If students are unable to pay, the PTO will cover the difference with parent donations.
4. What will be the cost of the play for each of the students?
We are asking for $3 per child. Again, please don't let inability to pay prevent a child from participating.
Vote for PBIS!
Happy Birthday!!!
