From the Principal's Desk......
- The pledge of allegiance rotation will start this week. During your week, please send down 2-3 students each day by 7:55. It will be important to start announcements/pledges promptly. Mr. Eaton's class will be up first and Mrs. Grandy's class will take over the week of September 9th.
- Hallway Presence - Please make sure you are out in the hallway outside of your classroom once the first bell rings. Being visible in the hallways makes a big difference in student behavior.
- Morning Drop-off - Starting Tuesday, we are going to encourage parents at Ling to drop their children off using the drop-off line or in the office. We are hoping to limit the number of parents in the building this week to get students used to walking in on their own. We will start enforcing this at Hemlock Elementary the following week.
- PBIS Drawing - The first PBIS drawing will be held on Friday morning. Please make sure you turn your passes in Thursday before you leave. We will have a short kick-off assembly starting at 2:00 on Friday, September 6th in the gym at Ling and 12:30 at Hemlock Elementary.
- We will have our first staff meeting on Monday, September 9th from 2:55-3:55. Please make every effort to be in attendance at these meetings and be an active participant.
- Just a reminder for teachers..... Please make sure your lesson plans have been submitted and are up-to-date by the morning of our first student day of each week.
- Safe Schools Online Training - Please make sure training is completed by the end of the day on Friday, September 27th.
- If you haven't already sent me your daily schedule, please do so as soon as possible. Please send it as a Google doc or Word document so I can save it on my Google Drive for easy access.
- Student Council applications will be handed out this week to 3rd and 4th graders. These applications are due Friday, September 6th.
- NWEA testing will begin this week and should be completed by September 27th. If necessary, please be sure to review the instructions for proctoring testing sessions. You can find those instructions by clicking on the condensed version of the Ling Elementary NWEA Proctoring Instructions.
- Back to School Tailgate - The back to school tailgate will be held on Friday at 6:00 p.m. before the start of the varsity football game. Please make sure you RSVP so we can plan accordingly. Lela sent out a Google Form last week for you to complete if you plan to attend.
- Thrillshare - I am looking to recruit more Thrillshare users to post pictures on Facebook and through our Hemlock app. Please let me know if you'd be interested in helping out and I will walk you through how to use it.
