Enjoy time with friends.
Don't check your email until at least 12 pm on the 1st.
TCB (Taking Care of Business)
- While the building will be open on the 26th-28th and your fobs will work, I encourage you to take a break.
- The STAR window is open for grades 2-5 the month of January. I'm excited to see the progress our students have made! Please make plans to give it sometime during the month. We'll review data at our next data meetings (Scheduled Jan 29, 30, 31).
- Jodi works in the aides room Tues, Wed, and Thursday mornings. Please keep this in mind as you give her work to do.
- If the copier runs out of paper, please refill it! It only takes a few seconds, and it makes it nicer for the next person =).
- If you find an item on the printer that's not yours, there's a bin next to the laminating bin for missing/unclaimed papers. Thanks!
- Susan Nolan will be out for surgery starting 1/7. She'll be out for at least 4 weeks. Emma Anderson will be her longterm sub. Susan is working to pull together substantive plans. Please welcome Emma when she gets here, and pass on any critical information re: supports/approaches to kids in your class. There are a lot of students she needs to get to know, and we want the transition to go smoothly.
