Give Thanks:
We want each and everyone of you to know how thankful we are for you. We have this week to spend with our students before a great week of relaxation and time with friends and family. Make every minute count, spend time talking with your students about why you are thankful for each of them.

Discipline Info
Remember that it is always best to handle as many discipline issues as you can within your own classroom. As we near the end of the semester, the calls to the office are increasing. While we know that there are times these calls have to be made, you are making a statement to your students. In addition, I have noticed an increase in referrals being put in the system. Unless the situation falls in the category of a "critical", or OFFICE MANAGED BEHAVIOR, (see flowchart) a conversation should be had with Mrs. Jeffries prior to putting that in. Also- parent phone calls are CRITICAL. My phone call should not be the first time they are hearing about these behavior issues. I am SO proud of the progress we have made in regards to office referrals and managing behaviors. I appreciate the work that many of you are doing!

New SRO and Security
We have a new SRO on campus. While we will miss Duggar, please make officer Chris Reed feel welcomed!
Here are a few safety concerns EVERYONE needs to be aware of:
- Remember that you MUST call security (972-494-8911) anytime you enter the building after hours!
- Parking spaces in the front of the building need to be reserved for parents. Please park in the teacher parking lot if at all possible. We are working to have some visitor spaces made. Those will need to be reserved for guests.
- PER SECURITY: the front KINDER entrance may no longer be used as an entrance for staff. Please, please, please refrain from using that door due to safety concerns.
Computer Lab and PLC
This week, we will be using the lab for PLC specials rotations. Students will be working on Imagine Math and Istation for a portion of their PLC specials times. The specials teachers will take them and monitor them while they work during this time. For the first few times, we will be using some PLC time to help everything get situated (if needed) as we want this time to be useful and helpful to everyone.
SCHEDULE:
8:10-8:55 (Trotter's group)
9- 9:45 (Mascorro and Acosta's groups)
