Staff Work Times Starting August 19:
7:15 AM to 3:05 PM
Staff Dress for August 19-26
Casual, except for Open House.
For Opening Session, wear our 2019-2020 staff shirt and jeans/shorts are permitted.
Priorities for classroom teachers from Dr. Linthacum:
- Greet kids at the door everyday.
- Plan engaging lessons.
- Have a communication plan with parents.
What is in has been delivered to classrooms. If you are missing something, let Valerie know ASAP!
District Resources
Science and Math consumables are in and have been delivered to classrooms.
Be A Scientist Notebooks are NOT textbooks - it is a resource.
Schoolwide ELA Resources will be delivered this week sometime. The district expectation is the resource stays in the provided tubs unless currently working on a unit.
Pioneer Valley 5th/6th sets of guided reading materials are being delivered this week.
Class Lists
After registration this week, an updated class list will be shared! Of course, this is always changing, but it will be closer to the "real" list than the one sent in June.
Classroom Cleaning/"FREE" Items
Any item(s) left in the hallway will be considered up for grabs until the morning of August 22. After that, all items left in the hallways will be thrown away! DO NOT put any items on the table down in the workroom. If you don't want it, find a new home for it or throw it away.
Opening Session Information
As a quick reminder, Opening Session will be held on Friday, August 23rd. Teachers will report for duty to their building on Monday, August 19th, and Opening Session will be at the end of the week (please note that this is a change from years past).
- You are invited to join us for staff social hour at Adkins Stadium beginning at 7:30am.
- We ask all staff to be on the field at Adkins Stadium by 8:00am for our all-staff photo.
- After the staff photo, we will walk across Lafayette St. to The Linc for our program at 9:00am.
- Our program should finish at the The Linc by 12:00pm.
We will be in touch soon with final logistics on seating arrangements, parking, and other back to school details.
Can't wait to see you on August 23rd!!
