Ridgeview Rundown
Week of November 3rd, 2014
This Week's News
Walking Trail Dedication Ceremony: We will officially dedicate our trail to RV students and publicly thank the many donors and volunteers who will be working on the trail this weekend at our Dedication Ceremony at 2:45 on Friday, November 7th. Details to come.
Data Consult Info Needed: Next week I have the opportunity to share our data and progress with DAC staff. To help with this, please provide me with a copy of or a link to your CSA data or other data that you think would be helpful to share by Monday at 4:00. Thanks!
McTeacher Night: Ridgeview PTA is having a McDonald's McTeacher Night on Thursday Nov. 6 from 4-8 pm at the McDonald's on 291 and Brown (near Ridgeview). We need a few teachers to come to McDonald's for a 1 hour time slot to chat with students and possibly do a little light duty, such as clearing tables or helping behind the counter. Ridgeview receives 20% of ALL dining room and drive-thru sales, which an amazing return for your time. We would like 2-3 teachers per hour if possible. A red McTeacher t-shirt will be provided for your shift. A sign-up sheet will be in the office. Thanks so much for considering being a part of this fundraiser--the kids really enjoy seeing their teachers and staff at this event.
Go Math Personal Trainer Quick Fix Tip: "We discovered if teachers have students clear their browser history, remove their ThinkCentral bookmark(s) (which can be reset by the user), then restart their machines, everything works!"
Chromebook Care: We are having a lot of charing repairs that are needed. Just a reminder to make sure all the computers that are staying in the class get plugged in.
Lunch Trays: Please have used lunch trays turned back into the cafeteria by the end of lunch each day. It helps greatly with cleaning and having them ready for the next day.
Reminders:
Benefit Enrollment – From HR: Benefit enrollment for 2015 is scheduled for November 3rd through November 14th. All employees working 20 hours or more are required to enroll. Employees working between 20-29 hours will have the option to waive or enroll in the flex plan. The flex plan is the only option they will see when they log in to enroll. Employees working 30 hours or more will need to enroll in all benefits.
