General Announcements.....
- We have talked so much this past week.....I don't have much left to say:)
- I will send Reminds as soon as I have any news - which you may have realized late last night. Please set your phones to "Do NOT Disturb" if you don't want notification sounds happening at odd hours.
- Please read the parent newsletter so you know what I have communicated with them as of today (linked further down).
- The book fair has been cancelled for this week.
- Report cards should go home tomorrow with students. I will do a phone call to parents to let them know and it is in their update.
- We will be meeting with each teacher again this year for our summative conversation. Like last year, the goal is that all three administrators will have a short conference time with each of you. The first sheet in this workbook will give you instructions. The other tabs are there for you to reserve your time.
