January 4th
We will be working late on November 17th and December 8th. We will be working until 6:30pm. All teachers, assistants, and office staff should plan to work these dates.
Information
- If you are on duty in the gym during afternoon dismissal, please make sure you are actively walking around ensuring students are quiet and listening for their name. Please refrain from participating in side conversations. I realize everyone is ready for Christmas Break, but our focus must be on the safety of our students! Thanks in advance for your help!
- Please remember that December 10th is Literacy Night and our 4th Grade Concert. All teachers should make plans to attend.
- Please remember that Felica is scheduled (Nov.) to come to CSF for a guided reading visit.
- Mark your calendar for our RtI/PBIS visit on Thursday, February 25th.
- Remember that grades 3-5 have to have one unit in Canvas by the end of the first semester. Mrs. Holden and Mrs. Berry will be working with you to complete this task. Each of you will create additional units 2nd semester.
- Teachers report to work by 9am when opening is delayed for two hours; they should report to work by 8am when there is a one hour delay. As always, employees should use their own judgement in assessing their particular situations. We do not want individuals to put themselves at risk by trying to travel in hazardous conditions.
- Make sure you are entering grades in PS each week and sending home signed papers every two weeks.
- Reminder - No Clubs during the month of December. 3rd-5th Grade teachers, please include this on your newsletters.

A Few Safety Reminders...
1. Conduct a daily “safety scan” of your classroom each morning as you enter the room. Remove or relocate any items that may create a safety hazard.
2. Ensure the door to your room is closed and locked at all times.
3. Be aware of your surroundings as you walk. Watch for potential slip and trip hazards.
4. Ensure you have a class list with you at all times.
