IMPORTANT: If the fire alarm sounds, please scan the hallway and look for any potential smoke or fire. DO NOT evacuate until you have been told to do so.
If your students are in specials, please evacuate the building first and then report to where your class is located.
If students are at their assigned segment (EIP, SPED, Speech, ESOL, gifted) the homeroom teacher and support teacher will both hold up green cards. If you have extra students, hold up the green card and report extra students to your zone monitor.

SPARK Success!
· If you have any students that you would like to recognized on the news for showing SPARK or 7 Mindsets, please let me know. I will feature them on the Monday news during our SPARK Segment.
· Please remember not to give out whole class negative points.
- Remember to fill out the Teacher Postcards for a chance of a drawing during the Faculty Meetings.
· Remember when giving a negative dojo point, it is always a good rule of thumb to think about the 4 positive points for 1 negative point ratio.
· As a grade level, please decide how many warnings you will give before taking a dojo point away. Also, please communicate this to the parents. Hopefully, this will help with eliminate some emails.
· Your grade level may want to send a reminder home to parents about what each category means in your grade level.

Google Classroom Updates
5K for Forsyth
What we need to do:
Sign up for the iRun! Get your grade level to sign up! Show some Mashburn love and have lets have THE MOST PARTICIPANTS of any other school!! You know a ton of us run (or walk) these 5K's all the time--why not do one together to help our kids! Bring your family!! When you sign up, on the emergency contact page, it asks if you are running for a school, and then you can mark what school you are from. Make sure you mark it so Mashburn gets credit! If you can't be there, there is also a way you can donate/sign up as a "phantom runner" and indicate that you are "running" for Mashburn…so we can still show our support for this!!
Packet pickup will be at the BOE on the afternoon of October 5th from 11:30-6:00 pm (I will be happy to pick up packets for whoever needs me to and have them there race day morning)!
Cost: $25.00 (+3.00 sign up) now $30.00 after September 25th: this goes directly to funding technology for Forsyth County kids. If you are like me, you look for events like this where the fee goes to a good cause...what better cause than the kids in our own county!
o your grade levels first, then I will send out an invitation to the entire staff on Thursday.
This invitation and challenge comes straight from Dr. Bearden--let's surround him and our kids with some Mashburn pride!
Thank you so much for your help with this!
Please let Keri Cook know if you have any questions!
