Fall Festival
Ms. Hefner has challenged us to purchase wristbands for either drawings or incentives for exemplary behavior for our students. She is purchasing 3 to give away to her students. I will match that by purchasing three wristbands to raffle to one student per grade level who has perfect attendance for the month of October. Any other people willing to take the challenge?
The fall festival on November 8th will be during the school day.
The event will be from 12:00-4:00 and students must pay $10 in order to attend. This price grants them entrance to the festival and an opportunity to play games and participate in activities.
Students will need additional money for snacks, candy apples, etc.

Reminders....
When signing a hall pass in the agenda for students, please make sure that they have properly filled out the hall pass stating their destination. Students must have a hall pass to leave your class room. ***Blank copies of the hall pass can be found in the work room.
Please continue to use the Ipad located in the office suite to sign-in and out each day. If for some reason the Ipad does not work, please sign in on the paper sign-in sheet on the desk.
Please make sure that you are utilizing Educators Handbook to document both minor and major discipline concerns. The hall monitors should only be utilized to remove students from classrooms when there is a major incident. If a hall monitor is asked to remove a student then the incident should be recorded as a major incident in Educators Handbook.
Please email any item that you would like to include in the announcements by 8:00 am each morning to Dr. Nash. Email is the most efficient way for getting the announcements read.
Please remember that the expectation is that we have bell-to-bell instruction. There should never be a time in which students have nothing to do in a classroom. Please make sure that you over plan. Our students are not in a position where we can afford to waste a single minute of instructional time. Our achievement scores are the biggest indicator of this. If you need assistance coming up with additional assignments please see your academic coach or an administrator.
Please make sure that you do not cover your classroom windows or office windows. This is a safety hazard.
Now that each homeroom teacher has a class set of books, the expectation is that you establish a SSR period in the morning during home room. As students begin to enter your classroom from breakfast, please have them read. Because this is something new, it will require you staying on students to ensure that it is occurring. Please explain to them the purpose behind the reading and how it will ultimately help them be better readers and thus more successful in their academics.
-All students should utilize their green AR folder when going to the media center.
-Please make sure that you are utilizing the magnet strips in your doorways. The district expectation is that doors are locked and that the magnets are utilized which will allow for easy access to rooms, in the event of an emergency the magnet can be quickly removed and the door is still locked. See Mr. Allen if you need a replacement magnet.
