This Week's News
Ordering: It's time to place orders for the remainder of the school year. If you lead an event that needs materials or if you have items that you would like to request, let me know. Due to our careful budgeting, we have money left to help us reach our SIP goals, so if you have an idea, now is the time to let me know!
PTA Meeting Notes:
- McTeacher Night made $600!
- Book Fair will be back for conferences...details to come
- We received a Lowes Grant for walking trail beautification! They are open to ideas on how to spend the money so if you have project ideas, let me know.
iReady Home Reports: Just a reminder from DAC to send out the iReady Diagnostic Home reports or share them at conferences when they are available from the diagnostic assessment.
Chromebooks: Just a reminder that is CRITICAL that our students charge their Chromebooks overnight. If the battery runs completely down Tony has to reimage them and this takes him away from filling other work orders. RV is experiencing a much higher rate of this problem than other schools, so let's continue to remind our students and establish routines to ensure they are charged. If there are other variables for me to consider or ways I can help problem solve, let me know.
Field Trip Reminder: Please remember to notify the office of any field trip dates so they can be put on the Master Calendar. A grade level representative also needs to give Leslie and Carol in the cafe at least two week's notice to prepare.

Change in Date for 21st Century/Instructional Best Practices: Due to conferences next month, we will not have cadre on February 12th and have moved it to Febraury 19th.
