The Weekly Hoot
January 30 - February 5, 2017
Greetings All -
Happy Friday!! I know that most of you don't agree with me on this, but I love this cold weather!! Short sleeves in January is not my cup of tea so I am glad when I can put on my winter clothes!!
Benchmark testing for 4th grade writing and 5th grade reading and math is over and we know now where we stand. That is a good feeling. It is always nice to have a game plan. Please make sure you get your benchmark information letters out to parents this week.
I am looking forward to the chili cookoff today! It is going to be fun and delicious! Thank you to all who participated. I really like the monthly potlucks, but a little competition never hurt anyone, right??
As a reminder, please make sure your students are checking their backpacks daily and getting all notes to you. In turn, make sure you turn in absence notes or change of transportation notes in as soon as you can in the morning to the front office. With the new accountability system relying so heavily on attendance, we need to be on top of these absences. If a child is absent in your room, and you don't receive a note the next day, it might not hurt to send the parent a text or an email asking for one so that it gets in within that 5 day window. Your help on this is much appreciated.
I hope everyone has a great weekend. Mine is going to be filled with Go-Texan and then spending time with my new grandbaby before he goes home to Louisiana on Wednesday. :( What am I gonna do ya'll??? LOL!
Love to all,
Marcy
