What's going on in Early Education
Paving - we expect the weed garden on the bus lane to be paved over soon. This work was scheduled for summer, so any day now we expect to have a weedless loading area!! We are also getting bids and feedback on the idea of a driveway that leads from the trail head, behind the building and over to the dumpster area. We would like to be able to load/unload car riders behind the building and into the MPR. Just an idea at this time, but I am hopeful.
Title Transportation - in regards to the driveway behind GBEEC, Title transportation is significantly being considered as an area to reallocate funds from. It is approximately $100,000 for each title classroom to be transported to school. IF we choose to take away transportation (most districts do not provide Title transportation), then we could gain additional classrooms with this money.
Swing Replacement - is under way....it is being looked at by Facilities. A new disc swing is over $4,000, so not sure how this will play out.
Parking for November Birthday bash has been approved....but staff will be parking off site at the Softball fields, so those of you with a van, please consider busing us back and forth if I can't secure a real bus at that time of day.

- All teachers will be required to work during parent-teacher conferences.
- PDO's will be approved for emergencies only.
- Professional conferences will not be approved during parent conferences.
- If teachers are enrolled in night class, it will be necessary to make arrangements to be excused from the class. PDO's will not be approved to attend night class.
- If a teacher is assigned to coach a game during parent conferences, the teacher will make arrangements to make up any conferences missed.
- Please work with your certified staff in granting time for them to attend their own children's conferences. This could be done during lunch or at a time when they are not scheduled to meet with parents of students. No more than an hour should be required.
