Parent-Teacher Conferences Next Week
Featured Staff of the Week - Danielle Garcia!
Danielle's favorite color is glitter, and she loves all things sparkly! She has a cow named 'Glitter', who she sees every two weeks in Dublin. She also has a cat named 'Sparkle'.
Mrs. Garcia's dad played college football with the Arkansas Razorbacks and professional football with the Denver Broncos. Danielle was raised doing drills, going to Arkansas games, and throwing perfect spirals. Of course, she loves all things football!
Mrs. Garcia has three kids: a 25 year-old son, a 21 year-old daughter, and a 15 year-old son. Danielle's two sisters fly for American Airlines. Her older sister lives a "stone's throw away", and her other sister lives in New York City. Mrs. Garcia's granddaughter, Rowan (pictured above), is the light of her life. Danielle enjoys spending every precious moment she has with her.
In her free time, Danielle spends her first and third Sundays working in the "special friends room" at Prestonwood. She has been a member there for 28 years, as her Christian faith is an important part of her life. Danielle is also training to be a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) to assist children in CPS custody.
Mrs. Garcia likes to go on trips with her sisters overseas (one of the perks of having sisters in the airline industry!) Her family frequently were extras on the show 'Dallas' and she did some print work as well as commercials as a child.
Lastly, Mrs. Garcia's dad was roommates with Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson in college. If you have any concerns about the management of the team or want to thank Jerry for the 5-1 start this year, slip Danielle a note so she can deliver it to Jerry!
ARD Paperwork Tip by Shelly Kramer!
When changing dates for those who DO NOT WAIVE the 5 day waiver, change the start date to one week ahead (if meeting on a Wednesday, change to following Wednesday). The end date does not change. If ARD held 10/20/2016, end date remains 10/19/2017. Don’t forget to change the date on screen 2 (duration of services) as well.
