- I just want to remind you all of the dress code. Some of you have asked about the popular graphic tees that are all out and around these days. These are not professional dress. I know some of you have wondered if you can wear them with a sweater/cardigan, but that is not professional dress. See me with any other questions you may have.
- Keep hallways clear and do not leave desks or items outside your room. (this is a fire code issue) You can have a desk inside your nook.
- Please ensure that your lesson plans are printed and on your desk each week. This is the expectation for your small group plans as well.
- If you are going to be out sick or for a personal day please ensure that you have your duties covered. Also, if you are out you MUST see Ms. Sharon and give her your leave request form ... she does not do these for you. You can print them online or she can give you one to make a copy of. Here is the link. It is also linked on our SES website.
- Do not forget to text me if you are going to be out sick. Do not email.

StandOUT Award
Mrs. Catlett passed the StandOUT Award to Mrs. Brooke Jones.
"This week I'd like to pass the Springhill Standout along to Brooke Jones. She is an amazing member of our cafeteria staff who always knows how to make the students smile as they move through the line, and she finds little ways to make the teachers feel special. I love the positive energy that she brings to the lunch room, and I appreciate everything she does to make sure that the students and staff leave with food in their hands and smiles on their faces. Brooke is definitely standing out at Springhill."
