The Weekly Warrior
August 22, 2017
Mr. Billingsley Weekly Update
The first 5 days of school have been fantastic! We have focused on building relationships, teaching routines/ procedures and introducing students to the academic content of each subject area. We had our first fire drill today and the students and staff quickly and safely exited the building. We will be practicing many different drills during the first few weeks of school.
A few reminders.....
- Students are not allowed to use cellphones during the school day. Cell phones must be stored in lockers, backpacks, purses or pockets.
- Cell phones should not be used in the pickup/drop off line while driving.
- Students are not allowed to bring in food or drinks upon arrival in the morning.
- Water bottles that can be sealed are encouraged.

Please encourage your child to sign up for extracurricular activities. Research shows that a student who is involved in extracurricular activities performs better academically.
