From the desk of Maggie and Marianne
We hope you've enjoyed the 10 Days of Holiday Giving! We would like to give our fabulous PTA a big shout out for helping us make this happen!
Our little Cannon Meeks had surgery last week and is healing at Dell Children's Hospital. We still aren't sure how long Cannon will be there. A meal train has been set up. If you would like to sign up, please use the following link: https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/l9lzdw. All meals will be delivered to Lauren's mother in-law and she will get the meals delivered to the family.
Please make sure to follow the district procedures below before leaving Friday. Marianne and I will do walk throughs Friday after school.
- Unplug classroom Fridges and clean them out.
- Unplug all lamps, pencil sharpeners, etc.. (Do not unplug computers)
- Clean out grade level fridge in the storage closet (if your team has one)
- If you leave before your trash is collected please have it outside your door to be picked up
- Close Blinds
- Turn off Light and Lock Doors
- Make sure your neighborhoods are cleaned up as well
We hope you get lots of rest and family time over the holiday break! Happy Holidays!

- With so many ESL students on our campus and many more coming after the break I wanted to share with you a PDF to use to help with Second Step in the classroom. Check it out here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wi_pwBQ9wO4xldTZqcmKf121W1f4S5al/view
- Here is the pacing guide for this school here if you needed to be able to find it again quickly: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WOLXexsKNc5Us7tmI1-XSdNGg40dG3j6i_YvJsaHhF4/edit
- Small group suggestions: If your grade level has a suggestion for a small group and a list of kids names please send them to me at any time. I will take care of parent permission. I have really enjoyed the groups that we have had going already and I think that the kids have too!
