Reminders & News
- Make sure to read The Exchange for district news and information
- TTESS goals are due in Strive by September 7th! These are the two goals that you wrote during back to school professional development.
- Here is the link for the morning announcements, which begin daily at 8:00 a.m.
- Remember to begin nominating kids for the P2P Learner Award (2 per teacher per 9 week grading cycle)!
- Remember to print your #ObserveMe posters on bright pink cardstock (extra on my black table in my office) after copying your QR code, goals, and name onto it. Make a copy of the document before editing.
- Please do not park in the bus lot; the only employees who park back there are our cafeteria staff.
- MOY Linguistic accommodations are due (In ELLevation) by September 21st (this is a one week extension from the district). You will receive an email when the template is prepared and ready for entry. Here is a video to show you how to enter them.
- Here is an opportunity for a free technology conference in case you are interested.
- As stated on the morning announcements, all students must now be accompanied to the restroom by a bathroom monitor due to three days in a row of bathrooms being trashed. Try to cut down on individual restroom breaks by taking a couple of group breaks, but when a student has to go outside of those times, he/she may not go alone.
- Are any of your students in need of school supplies? Before you spend any of your own money on things, please ask Lori. We have some extras.
- Remember that you are expected to plan on your grade level/subject designated day in order to ensure that our specialists can support you.
- Buffalo bucks will not change colors each grading cycle. You will use the same color all year.
