Reminders
PTA Membership - I do not yet have a count of who has joined and who we are missing, so I am extending the deadline to next week. 100% membership = jeans everyday. Please join.
Please complete the PPft training as soon as possible. You technically have a few more days, but we want to knock this out!
Faculty meeting on Monday! See you in the library after dismissal.
Notes from Alicia Hill-
Vision and Hearing Screening for Kinder and 1st Grade will be on Tuesday, August 30 and Wednesday, August 31 (time permitting).
Alarm Information
In order to reduce the number of calls, we encourage you to remember the following examples that will set off alarms:
- Hanging items such as mobiles that can move when the AC/Heater comes on in areas covered by a sensor.
-Live animals that are uncovered in areas covered by a sensor.
-Please follow appropriate procedures for using the building after hours and on the weekends (signing in if in main building).

Computer Lab News
I have been working to get all the printers, projectors, and desktops set up in everyone’s classrooms. Please email me if you are still having problems with any of these items.
This week I also passed out all the Netbooks, iPads, new Chomebooks, and new Samsung tablets. I am happy to provide individual or class level instruction on how to use the new Chromebooks and tablets. It is exciting to work with these new technologies. Please be patient and persistent as we all learn the nuances of how these new devices work.
The computer lab will be open for classes starting Monday 8/29. Please let me know if you are coming so I give give your class a quick 5 minute introduction/review of basic lab policies.
I am starting to set up AR and MobyMax databases for this school year. It will take a week or two to get all the classes setup.
