BARBER BULLETIN
Week of February 13-17
Dear Staff...........You're Doing an Amazing Job!
Happy Valentines Day, my friends! YOU are the HEART of our school!
***PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take the time to remind your students on Monday that food items (such as cupcakes, suckers, candy, chocolates) are not permissible on Tuesday for Valentines Day. Your help in explaining the WHY behind this to your students - and even emailing your parents - is very important to ensuring we have a safe, fun VDAY celebration for all students!
Cafeteria Support........The latest and greatest news
After meeting with the district lead on Friday afternoon, she acknowledged that the breakfast cards have helped our morning run smoother. Start time seems to have improved also! A big thank you to all of you that are providing duty help each morning!
She also appreciates and recognized that all teachers are submitting your lunch count on time on the google doc! Great job and THANK YOU!
Couple of reminders:
Teachers should come through the cafeteria line with your class.
If you have zero students choose a lunch selection, indicate ZERO on the digital lunch count.
Please pass lunch cards out to students before you enter the cafeteria.
Teachers cannot chart meals - this is district policy.
Looking ahead:
Mr. Robinson will be training one student in your class (2-5 grades) to serve as your LUNCH LEADER and help provide lunch selections to the cafeteria each day. More information coming soon!
