Celebrations and Lollipop Moments:
Celebrations/News from Staff
Mini Grant Winners for GBE!! Congrats to Kim, Stephanie and Lisa!
Welcome Back Beth!!
Congrats to Laura-- EMS Reception coming up October 26th from 5 to 6:30 Townsend Hall Lobby
Lollipop Moment to Becky Mann from Royce Andrews-- You were an awesome helper and co-teacher during our science experiment. Thank you for your positive spirit and challenging questions for my students!
To Carrie Thompson and Jackie St. Clair from Angie Doss-- You two ladies are invaluable to our PBS team and implementation in the building. Thank you for always taking on things and making sure we are keeping our students in the rich PBS language with the data you provide, lessons and reminders weekly!
Building News:
- Teachers make sure to sign up for a Book Fair time-- the sign up sheet is on the lounge door
- Please limit the copies you send to the office during the day for Melissa and Dee to make as extras. This causes them to often have to leave the office. If it is an emergency situation this is understandable. Thank you for understanding and taking care of copies each week ahead of time.
- Teachers be aware of your upcoming grade level Dinners that PTO is hosting. Make sure to have your flags ready for the auction the evening of your event. Melissa has the pictures and these will be sent off to put on the iron on to apply to your flag. If you are not auctioning the flag and choosing to do a craft make sure this is also ready that evening.
- Teacher attendance the nights of the dinners is not mandatory, but we ask that if you can attend you do and you do not have to stay the entire evening.
- Teacher attendance the night of your grade levels program is mandatory. Specials teachers are asked to attend each program to assist Mrs. Lewis those evenings.
- Teacher attendance for the Carnival in the Spring is being discussed. We will let you know the details after we secure a plan with PTO.
- Parent Involvement Activities are still mandatory. These are a requirement of 1 per semester. Each teacher will keep the log of parents that attend and turn these in at the end of the year. For us please send a synopsis of what you did for you activity and photos if possible to share with CO. I would like these to get put on the calendar by next week so we do not run out of time and forget to have them in place.
- Running Club is not taking place this fall, but will be returning in the spring-- just an FYI if a parent asks at this time.
- Take a look at Faculty Meeting Agenda and Notes -- these have been shared on Google Docs
