BARBER BULLETIN
Creating Joyful Leaders and Learners Week of August 20-24
Remember your #R2PROMISE
As Dr. Davis shared, "We do a disservice to man when we see him for who he is rather than see him as his fullest potential.: Let's approach this school year with our students this way. Let's OVERESTIMATE our students! What is each child's GREATEST POTENTIAL?
Let's LEAVE OUR MARK on these students in a premier, positive way! I am so humbled and honored to work alongside each of you! I stand ready to serve you in anyway you find you might need me! Let's make this our best year yet together!

NEW! Teacher and Staff Meal Pre Order System
We are happy to announce that SODEXO has a meal preorder system. This new Teacher and Staff lunch ordering platform is completed and ready for the 2nd day of the school year. This program was piloted at three area schools last year and the results were fantastic. Sodexo is excited to bring this convenient and time saving system to you all.
Here are a few highlights:
1) Teacher's menus will be emailed out at the end of this week. The menu will change monthly.
2) A google form will be emailed to you every month to put on your drive so teacher's may order from your cafeteria.
3) Teacher's can place an order the day before or up until 8AM the day of....this will require some pre- thought from the teacher's bar concept.
4) They will always have the option to eat from the kid's line as well.
5) Teacher's let us know what time they want their meal and it will be ready for them and payment collected at that time. The adult lunch price remains the same at $3.70.
A few examples...Personal pizza with topping options. Stir fry. Customized baked potatoes. A chef salad will be offered daily as well.
Our hope is this will cater more to individual tastes and offer a fresher, more personalized value to your staff. Obviously waste reduction is a huge benefit as well!
The google document with the menu/order form for the first six weeks of school can be found in the PONTIAC RESOURCES Team Drive. A new menu will be distributed prior to the beginning of each month in an attempt to keep the menu items fresh and new.
MEDICAL ALERTS! PLEASE NOTE!
Please click on the medical alert symbol to view a students allergies and/or pertinent medical information as soon as you can. Many parents/guardians are not updating it, therefore if you have one from a student please go by that as it will not show up in our school nurse's 2018-19 report. Let Nurse Larck know if you have any questions. She is updating these as she receives them. Nurse Larck will meet with you in person as well to go into further detail. Also if you know a student has a condition or allergy that is not listed, please let Nurse Larck know and she will confirm with the parent and place it in powerschool.
