Announcements
Each day is an opportunity to reach a student ... to build a champion .. attack each day with the intentionality our students deserve ... ONE MORE ROUND .. every day
- 5 Opportunities until Christmas Break
Newer Reminders:
- Let's soak up as much instructional time as we can this week. Use every opportunity you have intentionally. Take some time to also reflect on goals students have set this first half of the year and then begin looking forward to goals for next semester.
- ACT Aspire testing will be the week we return. Make sure students have set their goals from last interim. Schedule will go out this week.
- Please make sure your hallways are updated with current student work for Literacy Night.
- 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. Crymes passed the torch this past week to Mrs. Mahan.
I admire this teacher so much for her experience and grace in the classroom. She knows that I think she has the best classroom management in the world and I truly cannot say enough about how well she commands her classroom both in student behavior and academics. It takes a very special person to teach the littles for 22 years and I am truly honored to pass the standout award to Mrs. Mahan!
