Excellence In Everything, Volume HH, April 1st
Newsletter Additions
Sorry for two newsletters...there was a lot going on yesterday and I didn't have my notes! My fault...let's start with good news/bad news.
Exciting news! I just read that there will a Whataburger opening in Lago!! Here is the article...http://northshorebeacon.com/
Bad news...per Mrs. Walker - because of continued behavior problems in the cafeteria, we are going to need 6th and 7th grade teachers and 8th grade teachers on conference to help us with lunch duty. Please stay with your class through the line, get them all seated, and then help them get drinks, silverware and snacks as needed. Thank you!
One of the biggest requests from the community is Community Outreach. Parents would like the opportunity to meet with their children's teachers more regularly, so we are going to start implementing Tuesday/Thursday Meet The Teacher Nights from 5:00 - 8:30. These will begin April 13th - make plans accordingly.
School Fundraiser! We will have a faculty dance off(students will be judges) on April 28th to raise money for STAAR snacks. I will send the fundraising link out later today, but if you raise over $250, you will get a free LVMS koozie!
In an effort to build rapport, camaraderie, and staff morale, I'd like to meet as a staff every other Thursday morning for mandatory team building activities. Because everyone's schedule is so crazy, the meetings will start at 6:30 AM. These will begin on April 21.
Frustrating news - TEA has increased the number of STAAR tests we will be taking next year. Next year, we will be taking 6th grade World Cultures, 7th grade Spanish and 8th Grade Yearbook.
I will be off campus for training 4/8 - 5/24.
We are excited to add the following classes for next year: Juggling dangerous objects, Motorcycle Jumping, Making Money on Social Media, Etiquette and Decorum, Knowing Which Rules to Break and When, Deep Sea Welding, Cliff Jumping, Stunt Driving.
Happy April 1st, Everyone! Have a great day!!
