-With new students being added due to the completion of the universal screener, it is imperative that RtI students be on time so that we can meet all requirements for their tier minutes (Tier 2 90 min/week, Tier 3 120 min/week). If a student is even 5 minutes late each day that is almost 1/2 an hour out of their time. Many of our groups run back to back, so keeping them past their time is not an option. Cards were sent to you with the students' names and times, but if you need this information again please let Laura and Kathy know so that they can email the times to you.
-The computer lab will no longer be open before school.
-If you would like to include a picture (.jpg) or short video (.mov) on the morning news, please send it to Lyndsey Gunal at least 7 days in advance.
- Upload photos of your students to the Shared "17-18 Photos" Student Folder in the team drive so that Lyndsey can access them for the Panda News - only include students whose parents said YES on the waiver.
-In order to receive STAFF or WPE text messages, please remember you must do the following steps:
1. Login to MUNIS Self Service. Navigate to the Personal Information tab and add your cell number in the CELL PHONE NUMBER field. If your cell number is your PRIMARY number, it must be in BOTH fields.
