Fry's Friday Focus
11/2/18
American Education Month-- November Please note change!
***Take a look at your November calendar and set dates that work best for you. I was asked to create a template invitation and ask teachers to send their dates and times to Charlotte and Karen to put onto the flyers. Please email Karen and Charlotte with your date and time and we will have the copies put into your box for you! Please let me know if I can do anything to assist with embracing this meaningful event!***
I know this is a hectic month. So thank you in advance for opening your doors and supporting the home/school connection.

Report Cards
Report cards need to be completed by 11/12 to allow time for review, and to allow us time to print.
Thanks!
Online conference signup window opened Monday for parents
Let me know if you have trouble accessing your teacher view of the conference sign ups! I am hearing it is working well so far!! On Monday we will send home a half sheet flyer letting parents know we will have chromebooks set up in the entryway for conference sign ups throughout the day on Wednesday the 7th. After the window closes I would love feedback on the process from the teacher end of things.
Also, here is a link to the folder Flo sent out for the interpreter sign up!

Reminders
Just a reminder that if you are in a room with students who have a 1:1, 2:1 or any aide and someone does not show up to the room you need to contact me immediately. If you are unable to reach me in the office please call and/or text my cell at 609-444-6460 immediately.
It may be necessary to pull a non-iep required support staff member to fulfill the requirement. I truly appreciate everyone's flexibility when we run into days like this. Thanks again!!
This is also a reminder that it is required to sign in each morning and sign out each afternoon. We double check this each morning while we are working on our sub coverage.
Flyers Educator Night Out
Because We Are A Team
We have yearbook directors!!!!! Thank you!!!! Below is a link to a yearbook folder. I am asking if you could put in photos of your students as events take place over the year. These could be classroom based activities, field trips, school-wide events, etc. The yearbook is a great point of pride in the district and I can't wait to see what we can create this year!
