Summer Reading/Learning
This year, instead of givng us the actual summer learning tracking sheets, please record your students' names and the total #s for your class on this SUMMER LEARNING 2019 sheet. We do not need the students' actual tracking sheets turned in. Please let students know that the tracking sheets are due on FRIDAY, September 6th.
Lauren and I will be in touch the week of September 9th about the rewards for our summer learners. These will include some Dunning swag, pictures in our school slide show and the chance for more prizes. We will celbrate our summer learners at our first Community Meeting.
looking ahead
The assessment window for literacy assessments (K-6) is Semptember 9-October 18th. The 2019-20 Assessment Matrix by Grade (on Canvas) has the details about the assessments for each grade level.
FIRE DRILL REMINDER
Classroom doors should be closed when exiting classrooms. If you notice that someone may have forgotten or is not in their classroom, please close the door. If you notice any double doors propped open, please remove the wedge as you pass by.
STOP & SHOP REWARDS
If you shop at Stop & Shop, please consider registering your Stop and Shop rewards card. This is a simple way that we raise money for the school. Registering is simple and once you register we get rewards every time you shop at Stop & Shop and use your rewards card.
SEPTEMBER STAFF MEETING
We will share an agenda by the end of the week.
dismissal procedures
Shannom shared a PM dismissal google sheet which we will use in the office on a daily basis.
Please take the time to go over any notes that you have received from parents, all of the Kidsboro changes and regular dismissal routines for each child in your classroom.
Complete the spread sheet for each child using the following abbreviations;
PP- parent pickup
B- bus - make sure that the bus indicated is the bus they are on
KB - Kidsboro
If Shannin has highlighted a date note beside the child, this is the day the change was made by the parent. Please do not unhighlight this column.
Shannon will LOCK this document by MON SEPT 9, then all changes need to come through the office.
If there is a child missing from your class please let Shannon know, (new kids keep getting added daily).
if you do not know how to insert row with the information....
We appreciate your help with this

COMMUNITY MEETING
furniture
"Every year the School Department requests funding for furniture and equipment from the City’s Capital Budget. The School Department submits its Capital Budget to the City in late September and once submitted to the City, it is difficult to change it. While doing projections of need is always challenging, it is vital that our budget submissions include as much as we know about the need for furniture, equipment and renovations. In order to receive replacement of existing furniture, you must include a photograph showing the damage of the unsafe furniture or give an explanation as to why it must be replaced. Any future furniture request and must be made known prior to September 30th."
