Transportation Tags
We need to take an inventory of our transportation tags. This system allows us to be confidant of student safety. Monday, please email a list to your team leader by noon.
Spring Cleaning
As we move into the Spring season, the time to clean out and get ready for a relaxing break...I have a few items that need to be cleaned by your teams prior to Spring Break.
Grade Level Classrooms-they should be de-cluttered. If there are extra chairs, desks, or other items that need to be removed, please let me know. Classrooms should be left in order and ready to start back on the right foot. Food needs to be removed before the break. The air will not be on and food will spoil.
Hallways-take down student work that is not current or falling down. Remove any extra furniture in the hallways.
Team Rooms/Shelves
Kinder-Shelves in hallway need to be organized.
1st-Organize workroom.
2nd-team room looks good. Book sets could be added to classroom libraries. Any books on your shelves in the hallway added to libraries.
3rd/4th-Rocking chairs taken home by the owners. Green exercise balls removed from 2nd grade workroom.
