Carolina Panther Ticket Raffle Sales Oct. 8 - 19
PTCO asks that each student sell at least 6 tickets. Now, I know this may be hard for some, but we raised over $3k last year and this year they are expecting even more.
Thank you.
Self-Paced ELA Canvas Course for all K-5 Teachers - Donna's email is copied below
Below is the link for the self-paced ELA Canvas course. The course is required for all K-5 ELA teachers and is optional for other certified staff. Donna will send out a CARE number soon so you can register for credit. You will receive a combination of literacy and digital literacy credit.
Donna shared this information with classroom teachers earlier this week. If Encore teachers or support staff need more information, please let me know.
You will need to complete the course by the end of October and submit documentation of course completion.
Please email Donna if you have questions.
Full Staff Meeting Oct. 10 - Transition to SIT Meeting at 4pm
A staff meeting will be held Oct. 10 for about 30mins, and then we will transition to the SIT meeting, which will end at 4:30 pm as previously scheduled. We have so much to cover that we are trying to avoid planning times, extra staff meetings another day of the week, etc.
STAFF SHOUT-OUTS!
Shout-out to 5th Grade for following the music protocol while the stoplight was still green. This was noticed by another teacher and she made mention of her observation as she was proud of the grade level.
Shout-out to Lance Pfeifer for getting all the various new technology hardware and software out to classrooms and teachers. We were the beneficiaries of a lot of new technology and while delayed at the county level, Lance has done a great job prioritizing the processes and getting these done.
School Safety
Reminders:
1. Doors must remain locked at all times - they can be open while in the classroom.
2. All employees must remember to wear their ID badges at all times.
3. Ensure you have the required safety maps and flip chart in your classroom/offices - maps are available in the front office mail room.
