Thank you!
I just wanted to thank everyone for such a wonderful start to the new year. Some special shout outs to the following groups.
- The custodial staff did an amazing job over the summer making the building look perfect.
- The secretarial staff went above and beyond with getting things ready and doing all the behind the scenes tasks.
- Thanks to all the staff members who were able to come in over the summer and get their rooms ready - it was appreciated.
- More thanks to all the teachers who continue to make the students smile and to everyone else for going above and beyond these first couple of days.
504's
If you have a student within your room who has a 504 please stop by my office during your prep on Monday so that we can discuss some of the details. I just posted them all in Realtime with their current 504.
Emergency Drill Practice Next Week - One Per day. Please make sure you review all the procedures with your students.
- If I share something through Google, everyone with a school connected account has access. If you are using your personal gmail / or other account you will be denied access. Please do not request access using a different account.
- Please check your BTES Staff Folder for Back to School Night schedule and information.
- Gmail now allows you to schedule when you want to send out specific emails. This is helpful if you want something sent at a specific time. I use this all the time.
Clarification - Student Contact Log. I only need you to document any conversations, emails, or concerns that you may have with the parent or student. Please do not record every single communication. Sorry for the confusion.
September Breakfast / Lunch Menu
I shared a copy of September's menu in everyones mailboxes. This may assist with breakfast and lunch questions. Lunch $2.90 / Reduced .40 & Breakfast is $1.75 / Reduced is .30.
Holt Online will no longer be available. The company has discontinued the service without a replacement. I do have some disks in the book room that may assist.
Week in Review
- Arrival is working out very well. Sixth grade will be getting off the bus first starting next Monday. 7:20 for 6th and 7:23 for 5th.
- Breakfast - starting next week students should just get into the habit at meeting their teachers at the end of the hall at the appropriate time - there will be no announcements to assist - 7:25 for 5th and 7:30 for sixth.
- Dismissal is amazing.
- Students who are picked up daily must be sent down to the end of the hallway at 1:40 each day. There will be no more reminders after tomorrow. I will speak to the students and let them know that at the end of the day tomorrow.
- If you are assigned a Walkie please make sure that it is brought out daily.
- Recess appears to be working well. I had a chance to observe sixth grade recess and in both groups they were spread out. Just a reminder for all - two on playground, two at each basketball court, one on wall ball, one at the football pit and one on the soccer field. No one should be on the baseball field unless there is a teacher with them. If students are not at a section just fill in where it is busy.
- eHallpass will begin on Monday. I will send out a very brief tutorial via screencastify this weekend. Thanks for giving it a shot.
