3rd Quarter Progress Reports: February 23
Action Required: March INSPECTION
Based on previous inspections, we seem to have trouble with the following items:
- Items hanging from the ceiling are not safe
- Tops of tall shelves/cabinets....to much storage stuff is up there. Must be at least 2-3 blocks of space between storage and the ceiling tiles.
- Shared OFFICE SPACE: clean & straighten
- Emergency Plans & Emergency Procedures (neon flip book) must be posted/left by the door
Thanks in advance for helping keep yourself, your peers, and your students safe by addressing these along with the other items on the reminder sent out.
We appreciate your partnership!

Food for Thought...
AWESOME teacher resource
From that pd opportunity came this AWESOME resource that teachers can help teachers plan guided reading and/or strategy group instruction BY LEVEL. It is super teacher friendly.
Highly recommended...Mrs. Guerity has a copy, go check it out! You can look on Amazon to get an inside look.
