Caraway Staff Weekly Update
September 4, 2017
Parent Orientation Night
This week will be busy as we prepare for parent orientation night. Attached here you will find the slides to add to your parent presentation slides. Please note that each teacher only needs three slides (although there are eight attached). You will need the first, last and the slide that pertains to your grade level. Please copy the information in to your personal presentation. Let me know if you have any questions.
Please note that we may have to make a few changes to the meeting calendar. As it is updated we will send it via email and through the weekly update.
Please also welcome Jill Labombarde, Lunchroom Monitor and Lori Lockhart, Art Teacher to the Caraway family.
Let's make it another great week!

Things You will Need This Week
Message from the Print Shop
There appears to be confusion whenever an individual is wanting to have a job printed on a print request. Remember that a print request is used for jobs that can't be submitted in remote submission, i.e., color copies, notepads, card stock, something to be cut, etc., to name a few.
To get the best quality of printing and ease for setting up the document to be printed, we ask that electronic originals be sent to us via email. Some individual are submitting their originals in remote submission and then sending us a print request. In addition, your electronic originals should not be a scanned copy. We want a pdf of your original created document. These originals need to be print ready and emailed to Natsu Knox.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for your assistance in getting this to your campus.
