News & Reminders
- In the mornings there have been students banging on the south door in the hallway to the gym (by Sydney's room) and waiting for someone to let them in before the bell rings.
- Please remind all students they are to enter through the front door or they can enter through the back doors coming from the playground. Thank you!
Active supervision requires focused attention and intentional observation of children at all times
During recess, transitions, lunch, and when in the classroom, and in the hallways after school, staff position themselves so that they can observe all of the children.
During recess, staff are not gathered together in conversation, they are spread out, moving around, interacting with students.
Staff are engaged with students, are proactive and redirect students when necessary.
Active Supervision helps children learn safely and make safe choices.
Active supervision is an expectation for all staff at Monroe.
Requires Action
Technology End of Year Procedures
Non-returning staff at the end of school year will need to turn in all MacBooks, iPads, and laptops and all appropriate cords and chargers to your Principal or Principal Designee, so Technology Services Center can inventory and re-image.
Staff Changing sites:
If you are changing sites, any classroom sets of equipment shall remain at the old sites.
Teacher provided MacBook will go with teacher to new site.
Returning Employees:
You must be a returning employee to take your teacher Mac, your Dell IC Laptop, and if applicable, one iPad home.
If over the summer, you resign your position and leave Norman Public Schools, please coordinate with Bonnie Selzer, (bselzer@norman.k12.ok.us) at the Technology Service Center, to return all checked out equipment.
Optional: Checking in MacBook, Dell IC Laptop and if applicable iPad for Summer (If not taking your equipment home):
If you do not desire to take home your MacBook, Dell IC Laptop and, if applicable iPad, for the summer, please check in your devices with your school principal or principal designee so that the devices can be placed in the secured area at your site.
Remove your Batteries
Please remove the batteries from all your clickers with the screwdrivers provided to your site last year and place in boxes/totes located in the area designated by your principals.
If you no longer have screwdrivers, please coordinate with Troy Barnett (troyb@norman.k12.ok.us) so that he can provide replacement screwdrivers.
Again, only put batteries in boxes/totes provided.
Please do not place clickers in totes--clickers will be secured in your room.
