Staff Updates
We are off and running! Everyone should have procedures established and be moving towards focusing on the curriculum and classroom management.
Please practice all emergency drills again next week. These should include tornado, fire, earthquake, and intruder drills. Intruder drill does NOT need to be scary, but it does need to be practiced.
Make sure you have completed all training videos if you haven't done so already! This does include student teachers!
Please make sure to track your professional development hours. These will need to be turned in at the end of the school year. Make your own copy of this form to use if you don't have one already---https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jaKwc2uUw32ceViq0VcGk2_s7hE5lahCDHO7_ay27_E/edit
Make sure you are handing out those Bucket Fillers. Let’s celebrate those students whose behaviors are setting good examples for South Park! I am excited for our new store this year in Casey's room.
Sub Tubs/Folders/Baskets: Please make sure you have a sub tub ready to go if you have an emergency and can’t make it to work. They should be completely ready so all we have to do is pull it out and place it on your desk. Explain, explain, and over explain sub plans.
Social Committee~ If you are interested in joining social, remember to pay your dues to Trina or Jennifer Barnett.
