Completions
All classrooms should now have the tray for your Restroom check out device. If you are a non-classroom teacher and you did not get a device yet, please see me first thing Monday morning to get yours. We continue to have difficulties with the bathrooms.
There were a significant number of students who commented "wow, this is the Science lab" when we took them there for the movie before Christmas. This tells me they had not been there before. Please make sure to sign up for a time IN JANUARY to fix this if you are one of the classes who has not been. I know many of you do labs in your classrooms, but the students are required to experience the lab and to know lab processes and procedures.
If you read all the way through this newsletter before Monday, you may wear JEANS on Monday and Tuesday. If you didn't read it before Monday, but read it ON Monday, you may wear JEANS on Tuesday. :-)
