Six Weeks to Go!
I have to say Thank You again to everyone who made my birthday extra special last week. Entering a new decade is not always easy, but you all made it a very fun, special day that I will remember for the next 50 years!
This week is off to a busy start! Missing a day on Friday to work on School Improvement with Jane and Stephanie left me with a pile of investigations today. Thank you to Mike, Karen, and anyone else who jumped in to help on Friday as the issues just kept on popping throughout the day. I promise not to leave again this week!!
There is M-STEP testing this week, so please keep those laptops charged. The schedule is listed below.
We also have 4 grades taking field trips this week, 4th on Tuesday and 2nd, 3rd, & 5th on Thursday. Hoping the rain stays away for your trips.
Morgan has a serial bathroom graffiti artist visiting the girls' bathroom across from room 13. This girl writes the same message again and again, telling us each time not to erase the message. Needless to say, we are erasing the message! If you hear of anything suspicious, please let me know. We have been trying to catch our person, who seems to visit sometime between 10:00 and 10:30 AM each day.
Have a great week!
Sue
Summer Construction!
In addition, our Morgan kitchen will be receiving a make over courtesy of our food services department. All the laminate surfaces will be replaced with stainless steel, sinks and prep areas updated to code, and vents, warmers updated to code. Ms. Gena will have a beautiful work space to create her culinary masterpieces next year!

DPPD Make Up
Utica Teacher Induction Program
This year’s Utica Teacher Induction Program (UTIP) offers a final learning engagement, scheduled for May 22, 2019. A complete listing of this year’s UTIP offerings is attached (#7A). As a reminder, UTIP provides professional trainings that can be applied for probationary teacher professional development (90 hours) or as make up DPPD (30 hours) for any District educator.
Class Placement
June 4, we have 1 hour to create our sections as a grade level team, working together in the Media Center. I will have guidelines to work together and will move about the room to answer questions as we move through the process.
If you receive any "parent requests" for placement or notes on separation, please mark on the placement card.
Sixth grade team will be working on the President's Award list during this staff meeting.
