Important Stuff for This Week!!
- Please, please, please DO YOUR BEST to be here this week!! Remember that most subs DO NOT take jobs this week, so our jobs don't fill. I know there are emergencies--I'm just asking to please do your best! (Kelsie--hang on tight! :-) )
- Make sure you've made arrangements if you are not having tutoring this week. Also, if you have WALKERS staying for tutoring, they must be dismissed by 3:40 unless you are walking them across the street. Students cannot cross the intersection on their own, and the crossing guards leave at 3:45.
- There will not be a December box-tops collection date.
- ALL STAFF reports back to work on January 2nd (including paras), and Mr. Moczygemba made it a rule that staff children could not be on campus. I know this makes it difficult for some of you, but please make arrangements for them off campus.
- Monday, January 2nd, will be partial staff development and partial work day. The staff development part should not take more than 2 hours and you will have the remainder of the day to work on your own. Regular work hours for all.
- VERTICAL TEAM MEETINGS are TOMORROW, DECEMBER 12th at 3:15pm. There will be lots of pertinent BENCHMARKING information, so please be there!
- Please MAKE SURE the OFFICE STAFF knows your grade level PARTY SCHEDULE. They need to be able to prepare tags and have plenty of help signing in parents.
- The textbook room has been cleared out of workbooks and OUT OF ADOPTION textbooks. Please do not put anything in the textbook room. If you have any OUT OF ADOPTION textbooks that you don't want any longer, place them on the rolling carts that are in the 500 hallway. Check with MARI before to make sure they are OUT of adoption (all Journeys and Writesource books ARE STILL IN adoption so do not put these out). Students will be able to grab anything they want from the carts until Wednesday afternoon. Anything left on the carts will be boxed up and sent for recycling.
Don't forget to go snag some yummy treats at the Cookie Exchange on Wednesday around lunch time!! PTA is excited to do this for us again!!
Thursday evening from 5-8pm is McTeacher's night at McDonald's. Kalisha sent out a sign up genius for shifts. Thanks, in advance, for making this night a success!
Friday is EARLY RELEASE day at 1:15pm. We will be using Early Release with PARTY Schedule C for Friday. (see below)

Teachers: Please make sure your students who are assigned to lab (iStation or TTM before/after school) are attending. Remember that it doesn't count as intervention if they don't come, and there have been quite a few inconsistent attendees.
I think that's it for now!!!! Try to keep as much structure as possible this week to keep the natives from restlessness! Gear up for a wonderful holiday break with your families!!
