The Weekly Hoot
August 28 - September 3, 2017
Greetings All -
Whew!!! What a week! As the Facebook meme says, "from a solar eclipse to a hurricane...", but we made it! Meet the Teacher went great yesterday thanks to all of you. Even though I know the online registration process was tedious for some people, I have heard so many great comments and saw so many excited kiddos! Thank you for that!
As I sit here writing the Hoot, I have taco soup going on the stove, clothes washing, and Donovan is in full "meteorologist mode" splitting his time between watching the weather and looking out the window! I know it is crazy to think we might miss the first day of school due to a hurricane. I am beginning my 27th year and that has never happened to me! LOL! I am going to write this Hoot like we are beginning on Monday as planned, but please know that I will make contact with everyone on Sunday night to let everyone know what the district's plan is.
On Monday, please remember to get here as early as possible if you want a parking spot. It's going to be a crazy morning, but we will get through it. We always do. :)
Also, on Monday, either Connie, Laney, or I will come around and see if there is anything you need. Please know, however, our first priority on Monday will be to make sure we know how each and every student is getting home. We will also have someone come around and put on bus tags as soon as we have an accurate list of bus riders.
The AC is supposed to be on both Saturday and Sunday, but please, like I said earlier today, stay home and weather out the storm with your families.
Proud of all of you and how much you all accomplished this week! It is going to be a great year full of learning, laughs, and lifelong memories...for our students and us!
Let's get this party started people! See all of you on Monday!
Building Champions!
Love to all -

Owl Wings This Week Go To...
Sara Lee for figuring out a conversion chart to equate our Fountas and Pinnell levels to our new Read Well Unit levels. What a timesaving tool that is going to be!
And to everyone...the school looks remarkable, the kiddos felt the love Thursday night, and we are READY!! Thank you to all of you for going above and beyond with such a positive attitude!
