-Boosterthon t-shirt sales will start soon! Be sure to talk this up with your parents at conference time. A t-shirt order form will be put in your boxes to hand out to parents, and a form will be given to you to track shirt sizes and who has paid. A size is needed for every student in your class regardless of payment. All collected money should be given to Kellen along with a tabulation sheet.
-As a reminder to returning to staff and for those who are new to the campus, each day the ladies in the Cafeteria make a large dispenser of iced tea for everyone. Ashley has it set out with cups and all the sweeteners for you.

-With new students being added due to the completion of the universal screener, it is imperative that RtI students be on time so that we can meet all requirements for their tier minutes (Tier 2 90 min/week, Tier 3 120 min/week). If a student is even 5 minutes late each day that is almost 1/2 an hour out of their time. Many of our groups run back to back, so keeping them past their time is not an option. Cards were sent to you with the students' names and times, but if you need this information again please let Laura and Kathy know so that they can email the times to you.
-If you would like to include a picture (.jpg) or short video (.mov) on the morning news, please send it to Lyndsey Gunal at least 7 days in advance.
- Upload photos of your students to the Shared "17-18 Photos" Student Folder in the team drive so that Lyndsey can access them for the Panda News - only include students whose parents said YES on the waiver.
