Weekly Update for Douglas Staff - Dec. 7th
Greetings!
Thank you for preparing your students for the crisis drill last week. In debriefing with our student services team following the drill, we felt that the drill went well. A couple of things that were noted: please make sure that all students/staff are not visible from the doorway, even in a drill setting; lights should be off during the intruder situation. We did notice that there was a door that unlocked when we tried to open it - it has since been replaced. If you have trouble with your door lock or can't lock it from the inside of your classroom, please let Mike Opps know right away. In other Crisis Plan news - our new evacuation site will be the Watertown Moravian Church on Cole Street. From this point forward, if we would need to evacuate, we will be walking to this church (Center Street to Fourth Street - then Left on Cole Street to the Church - 1 mile distance). When evacuating - classroom teachers need their flip chart with a current class list on the back. More details regarding the evacuation plan will be shared as they are developed.
Non-Classroom Teachers, please take a moment to sign-up for the Holiday Concert at VolunteerSpot...You will be signing up for a specific responsibility at the concert this year to ensure that all bases are covered! The link to volunteer spot is directly beneath this welcome message.
Tonight is the first meeting of the Collaborative Time Committee for the district. Joi-Lynn, Amanda, and I will be on this committee, and we look forward to sharing the developments with you and getting your feedback.
I hope you all have a great week!

Paw Pride Club - Mission: Cafeteria!!
Paw Pride Club kids will be grouped into teams of 8 - on duty for 2 weeks then rotating. They will head to their duty stations upon entering the cafeteria (beginning of grade-level lunch period) and help the younger students in the cafeteria. After the younger students are dismissed and the cafeteria is clean, they will grab their lunch and eat at a designated table together. They will not have to go out to recess when the rest of their grade goes out so they have time to eat.
Thanks!
