Pledge of Allegiance Rotation - Mrs. Langworthy's Class is up next
From the Principal's Desk......
- The pledge of allegiance rotation will continue this week. During your week, please send down 2-3 students each day by 7:55. It will be important to start announcements/pledges promptly. Mr. Taylor's class will be up next and Mrs. Langworthy's class will take over the week of November 18th.
- Hallway Presence - Please make sure you are out in the hallway outside of your classroom once the first bell rings. Being visible in the hallways makes a big difference in student
- Secure Mode Drill - Classroom teachers did an excellent job making sure classroom doors were in the locked position during the secure mode drill on Thursday. Please make sure you spend a few minutes at the beginning of each drill ensuring all students are accounted for. Two students were left unoccupied in the hallways during the drill. We always want to ensure our students are safe in our care, even during drills.
- Half-Day Schedule - I have linked the half-day schedule for Thursday and Friday of next week. Please plan accordingly.
- U of M vs. MSU Day - We will be having a friendly competition next Friday, November 15th between MSU and U of M fans. Student Council members will be coming around Friday morning to count the number of students in each classroom wearing green and white vs. maize and blue. Whichever team is the most represented will have their fight song played on the PA at dismissal on Friday!
- Conferences - I will be sending out a parent/teacher conference attendance form next week. Please keep track of your classroom conference attendance.
