Staff Newsletter - Week of 04/22/19
Date Correction: The ALL Pro Dads are planning a big event for our community on Friday, May 17, 6:00 - 9. Partee will host the first Screen on the Green. They will have great food, games, and a movie. Lots of fun for the entire family! They need volunteers to help make this event successful for our school and community. Please let me know if you are able to volunteer. Also, please begin communicating this information to the parents.
Collaborative planning this week: Please be prepared to discuss the plans for the week of April 29 - May 3.
Field Day Shirts - Please remind parents to order them on mypaymentsplus ASAP! Deadline to purchase is noon on Monday, April 22. I am checking to see if we can extend the deadline.
Recess - Please make sure that you are taking your students outside for recess everyday. The only reasons they shouldn't be outside is because of rainy or extremely cold weather.
PTA elections for the 2019-2020 PTA Board will be held on April 25 at 5:30. Your vote is so important to making sure that we have the right people represent the school. In order to vote for the Board, you need to be a member of the PTA. Please log into mypaymentsplus.com to join for only $5.00. All members please join us for the elections in the cafeteria from 5:30 - 6:00.
Have a great week of teaching and learning!
Generals Salute!

When parents request that you complete checklists, applications, medical information, etc. for their child, please make sure that you see Mrs. Butler so that she can provide the parents with the REQUIRED Medical/Records Release Form to complete.
Also, remember that if a 3rd Party - grandparent, aunt, etc. - wants you to talk about a student's progress or attend a meeting, the parent must complete the appropriate documentation giving us permission to share information with this person. This form must be completed each year.
