Administrivia
Back-to-School Edition
Welcome Back!
Our new head custodian, Billy, has been working hard to get rooms ready and hallways shiny.
We have been enrolling new students and saying good-bye to some who have moved.
This edition of Administrivia is brought to you by SMORE, a website for designing all kinds of things. It will be replacing the Publisher edition that I usually send out each Monday throughout the school year. I will also be using SMORE for our parent newsletter, the Rocket Review, that is sent out each Friday.
Read through this edition of Administrivia as it contains lots of yearly information about Morgan and the 2018-2019 school year!
Great to have you back!
Welcome New Staff
Kristen Brimmeier in Kindergarten--Room 16
Kristina (Tina) White in First Grade--Room 23
Billy--Head Custodian
They are happy to be joining Morgan and we look forward to a great year together!
Building Hours
7:30 AM - 4:00 PM August 27-31--if the hallways are waxed this weekend and done, these hours may change. More to come as we work through the weekend.
I plan to come work at Morgan this Sunday, August 26, BUT we may not have access to the building in areas due to waxing of the hallways. I will know more either late Saturday or Sunday morning when I get here as the cleaning crews work through Saturday.
I also plan to come in Labor Day weekend, possibly Sunday and Monday. Again, I will let you know as we get closer to completing the building cleaning schedule.
