- We are scheduled to have MATH data teams with your PLC coaches this week.
Walmart Orders
- Use this to plan ahead so you are not paying out of pocket for science materials. Please check this link which explains how to get your Walmart orders placed. You will need to plan ahead. Shipping is pretty quick but it is not overnight.
- We are about out of supply money for the year, please plan ahead so you don't have to purchase it with your own funds.
Last Minute AM Coverages - UPDATED
Many mornings there are a lot of changes in coverage overnight and early morning due to illnesses or emergencies.
Please:
- If you feel sick in the PM, call Kelly services. It's easier to cancel coverage than to find it.
- Continue to text me, Kacie, and your team when you call in or when you are running late.
- Also, if you need AM coverage send an email to McIntire News asking for coverage. Classroom teachers should not be covering two rooms. There are many staff members without morning coverage that will volunteer to eliminate this problem.
- Plan accordingly for winter weather or road work.
- If you don't have morning coverage or morning meetings, please watch for coverage emails and reply all to cover someone with a last minute emergency.
Coffee, Soda, Water
If you have not donated $10ish dollars, please pay to Debbie/Julia at your earliest convenience so that we can purchase the fridge and help pay for coffee and water while the soda fund builds back up.
