Condolences
Have we missed something? Let us know!
This and That
These were due to Valerie already. If you have not spent your money, you still can. Please work with Valerie on orders.
Science consumable materials should be ordered with your classroom budget.
One ream of card stock and extra lamination was ordered for fluency math games. Please consider what other items you need for this for your classroom.
Building Changes
This is hopefully an inclusive list, but if I left something/someone out, I'll update for next week.
- A trailer is coming to the lower parking lot. It will take up parking spaces. It will house ELL and Nikki Carel.
- The current ELL room will now be an additional resource classroom. We will welcome LeAnn Berendzen to Belair. She will split between Belair and West. She and Morgan will be side by side. This room can also be used to work with small groups or individual students.
- Toree is moving downstairs. She will be in the former workroom. This will no longer be a shared space.
- Lisa Prospt is moving to Toree's former space. She will now be closer to the grade level of students she serves the most.
- Katy Miles will be kindergarten in room 102.
- Missy Simpson will be first grade in room 103.
- Arynn Londrie will be second grade in room 108.
- Beth Hillis will be second grade in room 107.
Building Cleaning
Greg, Don, and John have started cleaning out rooms to wax classroom floors. Be patient and prepared to not be able to get into your room for a few days as they move around the school.
Updated Extended Closure Staff To-Dos
LAST WEEK FOR THESE ITEMS!
Be available Tuesday - Thursday, 9:00-2:00.
1. Check in with all of your students. Final check in, through Google Classroom, Seesaw, phone, text, etc...
2. If you did not in your final parent communication, share out your student's final iReady progress - how many lessons completed/passed during closure. Remind families that they can do iReady through June 30.
3. Participate in a final digital team meeting. Invites sent on Sunday, May 24.

5. Student materials - contact families who did not pick up. Offer Thursday, May 28 during the reverse parade for pick up, or arrange a time you will be at school for pick up.
6. End of Year Checkout Form - includes links for Student Information Sheet, Grade Level Inventory Sheet, and K-5 Building Purchased Resource Sheet. DUE BY MAY 28.
Working in the Building
Please sign up to work in the building in shifts. I have scheduled it so that no more than 10 people will be in the building at the same time. Please follow the guidelines so we can all stay safe:
ALWAYS SIGN UP/IN FOR A TIME TO BE IN THE BUILDING USING THE SIGN UP DOCUMENT ABOVE.
1. Please use hand sanitizer before using any office or workroom equipment.
2. After using the copier or other equipment, please wipe the machine/ equipment off using the wipes provided next to the copier.
3. If you see someone else using the copier, please come back in a few minutes. Ask the person to text you when they are done.
4. Work in your own space! Many people have been using the office to assemble packets. Please take materials back to your space and then bring them back to the office when you are finished.
5. Try to follow the CDC recommendation of 6 feet while in the building. Avoid contact.
6. Do not bring other people into the building, unless they are helping with an essential task. No children are allowed in the building at this time.
7. When using common spaces, please wear a mask.
This will be especially important for when we are cleaning up/out classrooms.
