Back to School PD Calendar
Please note that we are going to be doing our 1st Annual Birmingham Bus Tour on Thursday, August 8th. I know that this will be a long day but I am giving you Friday afternoon to take care of what you need. We will set up a schedule to travel around to our Birmingham neighborhoods to meet/see our students and pass out popsicles. I am super excited about this and know that the Bears will be too.
Moving In
- If you have furniture in your classroom, please keep it in your classroom. We do not have place to store extra furniture.
- If you have "things" that you no longer want, send out an email or just trash it. Please do not place items in the hallway.
- This year, we will not have any desks or tables in the hallway (with the exception of one in 4th and one in 3rd for small group pull-outs.)
- Please plan to have a way to hang student work in the hallway. Kids love to see their work on display.
- Calm down space - Please find a place in your classroom where students can go when they need a minute to calm down.
- Please do not hot glue on the painted walls. This rips off chunks of paint when the items are removed.
Fire Marshall reminders:
- No curtains on windows.
- There must be a 3 foot space in front of the windows in your classroom.
- Shoot for 50% of your wall space to be covered. Make sure that no fabric or paper is within 1 foot of any outlets.
- All items must be less than 18 inches from the ceiling.
- No Scentsy warmers or plug-ins.
