Folsom Weekly Update
November 27-December 6
Message from Dr. Mazzoni
Good Afternoon Folsom Team,
Teachers assigned morning/afternoon duties that have a schedule conflict shall trade their duty with a staff member that is able to cover for that particular day. For example, you are running a CER program after-school on Mondays and have afternoon bus duty each day. Please review the AM/PM duty tab under the Google Doc 19-20 Schedule and More to identify a staff member that can pick up your duty for you.
Secondly, a concern was shared at the School Safety Meeting last week regarding parent pick-up in front of the school during after-school activities. The concern is that students are walking across the drive to their parent’s car. Students should not be released by the teacher AND cross the driveway to their parent’s car. This presents a clear safety issue.
Christmas is around the corner! During the week of Monday, December 16th, Folsom will participate in “Christmas Spirit Week”. We will start the week off with a Holiday Door Decorating Contest! Doors will be judged on Wednesday of that week. We will identify a winner in grades PK-2, 3-5, and 6-8. Special areas, offices, and pull-out instruction rooms will have their own designated category with a special prize to the winner! All students and staff are encouraged to participate.
Here’s the line-up!
Monday – Show your Holiday Spirit by wearing Red, Green, and White
Tuesday – Christmas/Holiday Hat Day
Wednesday – Ugly Sweater Day
Thursday – Pajama Day
Friday – Christmas/Holiday Sock Day
Respectfully,
Matthew Mazzoni, Ed.D.
Superintendent

Please see me about any topics you feel would benefit your instruction, or one of our programs in the building. On going professional development builds confidence in your pedagogy, keeps you current on new approaches and strategies and should be tied to your Professional Development Plan.
