Last Week of Semester
We will officially be at the 1/2 day mark to the 2019-2020 school year this Friday as the semester comes to an end. Per HR, both Thursday and Friday afternoons are considered Teacher Work Days.
A new lunch menu was placed in your mailbox. Apparently the lunch menu for January was changed and this is the correct copy for the remainder of the month.
Report due date has changed, as was sent out late last week. Report cards are due to Morgan Office by 12:00 PM on Wednesday, January 22. They will still be sent home electronically on Friday, January 24 by the end of day.
I will be completing Missed Prep sheets on Friday this week for you to sign. If you are electing to use Sick Time accumulation, I cannot send up the sheet until you have reached a 1/2 day or a full day of sick time due to loss of prep. Some of you still have open sheets from the first marking period that I will add to should you miss a prep and/or cover another class for a teacher's reported absence. Questions, let me know!
Sharon will be sending conference notes to you electronically to adjust as you need to send home for our Thursday, February 6 Conference Night. Please keep track of the number of conferences you hold so I can complete our required Winter Conference form for the Board Office after conferences are completed.
Have a great week!
