Reminders...
- The 4th quarter is a perfect time to use data to drive your instruction. This means every classroom may not look exactly alike as they are focusing instruction based upon the needs of the individual learners in the classroom. Please let your administrators know if you need assistance with the data. We are happy to help!
- Turn off computers, promethean boards, and digital cameras nightly. This will increase the longevity of these devices and reduce our carbon footprint enormously!
Got Clutter?
- Bins that are attached to the wall do not need to be emptied but do need to be covered
- File cabinets, teacher desks, and standing cabinets that are not attached to the wall must be emptied.
- Remove all items stored on top of cabinets
- Most closets will not be painted so no need to empty
- Painters will be here June 19 to begin work. This means all file cabinets, etc. must be empty by this date.
