Next week the San Leandro School Board has declared it to be Inclusive Schools Week. This week is to celebrate the progress the district has made in "providing a supportive and quality education to an increasingly diverse population..." (San Leandro Board Resolution 17-43, Nov. 2017). This is a great lead-in for our PD on Wednesday, Dec. 6. Click here for more resources.
Fire Marshal's Report
On November 13, the fire marshal was at Jefferson doing the annual fire inspection. All items the fire marshal noted as hazards must be taken care of before she returns on December 18. Most notably, there should be no fabric that has not been treated to be fire retardant can be in the school, hanging up, etc. This includes stuffed animals, fabric on the walls for bulletin boards, and cushions that students might be using for independent reading times. Also, that all fire doors must remain closed, not propped open. Please check this list to see what else was in the report.
