Some important notes about menus over next 10 days.
We will do our best to stick to the regular menu, HOWEVER there will be items that we will run out of, before the serving period ends. Like today, we have only 20 Salisbury steaks, so when it’s gone, it’s gone. On pizza days, we will be offering a couple of different kinds of pizza. I will try to include in Martha’s morning memos all the hot items that might be offered that day, but please let your kiddos know that it will be one of those when they get here. So they can choose the hot item, which will be choice #1, or one of the other items.
Thanks so much for your understanding and help!

SAFETY TIPS
- Always WEAR your FCSS issued badge.
- Always keep exterior doors closed and secured. (No propping doors)
- Always travel within the building, except to recess and PE.
- Always keep classroom doors locked.
Cyber Security
- Usernames & Passwords should NEVER be left on a post-it on your desk.
- Substitutes and parent helpers should never be logged on as you. Most of our regular substitute teachers have network accounts. If they don't and you have digital material you'd like for them to share while they are in your classroom, let me know before you're out so I can get them an account.
HELP NEEDED....PLEASE SEE TASKS BELOW THAT REQUIRE ACTION THIS WEEK.
Be sure to complete the End-of-Year Checklist (yellow paper) and the End-Of-Year Technology Checklist (salmon paper). Dillon, Rivers, Cunningham, & Orr, salmon is that pinky-orange color!!!
The Spring F & P window opened April 16th. It runs through May 25th. As you begin this process, consider starting with your higher level students. This will allow more time for growth for our students reading at lower levels.
Be sure to input your student data on our Midway Spreadsheet (located in GoogleDocs Team Drive). In addition, we will upload Spring information in School City for the County. More details/reminders will be forthcoming regarding the uploads in School City.
Please let us know if you have any questions or need any help.
