Office Reminders from Linda
Amazon orders...put into a wish list and share it with me.
It surprises me that every year there are several staff members (and not just new ones) that don't realize they can use "sick" days for family members i.e., spouse, kids, parents, they think it has to be personal.
please check your mailboxes once a day!
Parents need to notify the office if students will be absent or are sick....many times they just e-mail the teacher and we don't know.
please make sure you mark attendance accurately! We have caused undo panic in parents when they get a call that their child is absent and they are really in class and make sure rosters are up-to-date for subs
Return purple checked in at the office slips daily.

SLP Updates
There is a very long list of students that will be screened on Monday. If classroom teachers have any students that they have speech, language, or hearing concerns with, or are unsure and would like one of the SLPs to listen to the student, please let Miranda Watson know their name. She will make sure they are either on the list or she will add them to the list.
