The Wolf Howl
Week of 2/8/16
Benchmarks are Coming!
Brendon will send out the afternoon schedule for both days.
A Few Reminders About Mornings...
*Please be on time for duty, and be vigilant in monitoring.
*The morning library time is QUIET - teachers in the library should actively monitor for quiet learning. Students who want to talk can go to the SAC or Lecture Hall.
*Students (not teachers) in the SAC in the mornings MUST sit down.
*While many are not on duty on any given morning, please be observant as you walk to and from your room. Shoo students who are lingering to their respective morning areas. Don't just walk by and ignore students in the hallway.
Clubs Start Feb. 12
