PAC
So.....at our last PAC meeting it was approved to order 5-6 T.Vs and an order of 25 chair organizers for 2nd Grade! We truly have the BEST PAC ever!!!!
Attendance Letters
I sent out many attendance letters over break - two requiring a meeting with me to build an attendance contract! These meetings will take place January 18th! If you are worried about a student's attendance - please email me and I'll check to see if I sent one, need to send one and missed it, OR they are excused (and I can explain)!
Spills in your rooms
Please, please, please - be sure to alert either Kris or Sarah when you have a spill! Over break - there were many areas that needed spot cleaned/scrubbed. Some of the spots were extremely difficult to get up due being ground into the carpet. Please let them know the SAME DAY a spill occurs (if it is other than water).
