These Four Questions Should Be On Your Mind Daily.....
Nuts and Bolts
We are looking for parents to nominate for PTO board and committee positions for next year. If you have a great parent in your class, please ask if they might be interested and send Suzy their name! We need nominations by the end of the month. Thank you!
Infinite Campus grade books must be updated by the end of each Tuesday with the previous weeks grades.
Make sure your grade level team share files with math data are up to date by the end of each month.
Scott and I will be completing walk-thru's and scheduling summative evaluation meetings over the next few weeks. Probationary teachers will need Growth Plans completed in the shared summative form by the time we return next week. All other teachers need growth plans completed by Monday, Feb. 29th.
If your grade level plans to take a field trip this year you will need to start planning it now. Use the Field Trip Checklist ( in the faculty binder) to follow the procedures for approval and payments. Field trips need to be scheduled to take place by the end of April. All grade levels are expected to take a field trip that is connected with an aspect of the curriculum. PTO pays for the bus for a field trip in each grade level.
JCPS Health Screenings
It is that time of year again! We are excited to offer Health Screens to everyone that partakes in the JCPS Health Insurance. We offer the Health Screens as an added benefit to each of you. It is a great way to monitor your results from year to year, plus it puts money back in your pocketbook! By participating in the health screens you receive a $30 premium reduction each month! That totals $360 in savings a year!
The Health Screens will be held each day at the Dix Road Education Center on the following days:
March 22
March 23
March 24
March 30
To register please use the following link from CRMC

A couple of notes about the screens:
1. If you choose to go to your private physician, please use the attached form and have it faxed to UMR at the number given.
2. Cotenine test- This test will be offered again if you wish to earn 100 points for being Tobacco-free. If you go to your private physician, this test will need to be done at the screens. Everyone will be asked if they wish to have this test and everyone will have to respond yes or no. It is 100% optional.
3. InBody and Waist-to-Hip ratio i will also be taken again. Please know that you will have to take shoes and socks off for the InBody assessment.
4. Please print the waivers that are to be completed and bring them with you. This will help to speed up the process.
If you have any questions please contact Becky Pfenenger.
