Vertical Team Planning with EPLC and Specialist Rep
o Those team members that have students that we are discussing will receive an email invitation. The expectation is that if you are not meeting with the EPLC on a child, that you are meeting with teachers above/below you on specific students that you have questions about based on the pink/blue cards unless it is the nurse time listed below.
Nurse Meetings with the Following Grade Levels.
o If someone is meeting with the EPLC during this time, please take notes for them. Please come to the media center at this time:
· K – 8:00 – 8:25
· 1st – 8:30 – 8:55
· 2nd – 9:00 – 9:25
· 3rd – 9:30 – 9:55
· 4th – 10:00 – 10:25

Wednesday, August 14th
AM: First half day with K through 5th grade students. We will have a meeting in the media center from 1:00 – 4:00 to go over the required trainings for the school year.
Breakfast and Morning Routine
Due to serving breakfast for the first time this year, we need to adjust our morning routines to accommodate this.
AM Duties: Please note that Specialists/SPED will have Café as part of the morning duty schedule rotation. They will be helping Missy in the cafeteria from 8:00-8:20. Since this is the case, they are not on the AM Gym Duty schedule that is on outlook. Our car/walker/before care students will come in starting at 8:00. Our bus students will be unloading at 8:05 and will head to the gym (if they are not eating breakfast) or the cafeteria (if they are eating). Grade levels that have gym duty and staff that have AM duty, please be prompt and on time at 8:00 to welcome our students in the building.
Breakfast: Breakfast will be served from 8:00 - 8:15 every morning. Students will eat in the cafeteria. Students usually only take a few minutes to eat. If they finish up before 8:10, they go to the gym. Anytime after this, they will be dismissed to the classroom. If kids come late, we will feed them quickly, write a pass for them, and send them to you. Please do not count these students tardy if they come with a breakfast pass. If it continues to be a problem, we call parents to remind them when breakfast is over.
Thank you for your flexibility in making sure that the students have a wonderful start to their school day!
