Snow 2018
Micro Staff,
I hope you have stayed warm over our Snow Break. Hopefully we be able to get back into the swing of things next week. Tomorrow will be an optional teacher workday with a two-hour delay. Please review this document regarding FAQ's regarding Inclement Weather. We are still planning on having our PBL Planning days this week. I have enjoyed reading everyone's Twitter Book Study Thoughts. #Micro2020
Please offer Mr. Howell and Mr. Price kudos when you see them. They came out over the weekend to scrape ice off of walkways and apply ice melt pellets so that all of our entry ways are safe.
Stay Warm!
Micro Headlines
No PLC's on the week your grade level has PBL Planning
- JCPS Weather Guidelines: Please note that the expectation is that elementary students do not go outside for recess when it is below 35 degrees and to exercise caution when it is less than 40 degrees. Proper attire is required on cold days. With the forecast that we have, it looks like a lot of indoor recess is in store for us!
- The Leading With a Heart Ballot will be open until Monday morning. Vote Here is you have not already.
- PBL Share Time: Please contact me if your grade level is interested in sharing an upcoming PBL Unit at our January staff meeting. 2nd grade will be sharing in December:)
New form for documenting parent conferences: Please use this form to maintain the number of parent conferences you've had.
