Shackelford Shout Outs!
In your box on Friday, you received a couple of Shackelford Shout Out! slips. You can use these to recognized a good deed or say something nice about a student or staff member. After filling out the slip, please place it in my box. I will announce the Shout Out! on the morning announcements and make a positive phone call home....yes, for staff members too! Finally, the Shout Out! Will be put on the BB GR8 bulletin board in the hallway for all to see.

Budget & purchasing reminder
I would also like to know if there are specific items that you would like for me to purchase for end of the year awards such as ribbons, medals, etc.
Student Attendance Incentive
- Talk with your students about the importance of attendance.
- Write the letters PERFECT ATTENDANCE somewhere in your room.
- Mark off a letter each day your homeroom class has perfect attendance including no tardies or early checkouts.
- Email me when you have marked out each letter and tell me if your class would prefer an extra 30 minutes of recess OR a popcorn party.
It's that simple!
