From Mrs. Cristan
Reminders… we greatly appreciate the assistance and all of the support.
SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT SUPPORT:
- Dismissal into the cafeteria – many students are running into the cafeteria and rushing to get into lines.
- Please escort and lead your students into the cafeteria to help control the running
- Thank you to those who are leading your classes in everyday, it makes a great difference.
- Please be in the hallways at the end of your lunch time – students are being sent and are having to wait on teachers.
- If students are arriving too early please let me know so that we may adjust our dismissal.
- Para. lunches are connected to dismissal and we want to respect their full lunch period – please and thank you!
- Please assign bathroom monitors to assist with supervising of student activity while in the restroom.
- Make sure students are not leaving to the restrooms with writing tools
- Permanent markers shouldn’t be a tool that any student should have while on campus.
- Please continue to actively supervise students while at recess – walk around, keep students in direct site, remain off phones, and monitor games such as soccer/football/basketball/ etc…
- Please remind students of appropriate play on the playground.
504 ACCOMMODATIONS:
- By now you should have a pretty good idea if the current accommodations are still appropriate for your 504 students.
- If changes need to be made, please contact the parent to address your concerns.
- If parent would like to formally meet, please let me know of a meeting time that is best for you and the parent.
- If parent is fine with the recommended changes, and doesn’t feel the need to be present, please email me the necessary changes and I will update the plan with your recommendations.
- Benefits Meeting: Auditorium at 3:30 p.m. (estimated to be at least 1 hour).

From Mrs. Villarreal
- If you know of families that are interested in the Toys for Tots program for ages (birth-13), parents or guardians can sign up at the ST. Paul the Apostle Church 2233 Waldron RD in the Religious Education Building Foyer. Registration is taking place Nov. 4-27th from 9 a.m. to Noon, then 1:30-4 p.m. Monday-Friday. Adults must bring a photo ID, proof of address, income or Govt. Assistance, social security cards for all, and birth certificates or govt. card to show ages of children.
- Teachers, please let us know if you have concerns about a student that is struggling with a particular subject. We need to start the RtI process as soon as possible, add interventions, tutoring, or accommodations so the student can be successful. It is best to start identifying these things early, because if we do refer a student for any kind of testing, it is a time consuming process. Please document in DMAC all interventions you are doing to help.
- When completing ADHD paperwork, please try and get the doctor’s name and fax number. This helps expedite the process.
- Just a reminder, please listen to the concerns of your students. I have students signing up for counseling when the situation could have been resolved in the classroom. I have been going over this in our guidance lessons only to hear some say, “but we do tell our teachers, but they don’t listen”. Just take a little time to do this, and you will have a happier learning environment.
