A HOLIDAY MESSAGE FROM OUR SOCIAL WORKER
Dear Pontiac faculty and staff,
As the holiday season approaches, I am working on providing resources to some of our Pontiac families in their efforts to give their children a wonderful holiday experience -- for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. We have a couple churches that are collaborating with us in this. Also, please let me know if you or your team would like to "adopt" a family -- this will be a huge help.
Since you know your students best, I would like your help in identifying families that might benefit from this help. Please send me an email at lroth@richland2.org with the names of your students that come to mind by Friday, November 2. I can 't promise assistance for everyone, but I will do my best to make sure everyone gets help. I will reach out to families respectfully and without telling them that their child's teacher referred them, so please know that your recommendations will be confidential.
Please let me know if you have any questions. My contact information and schedule are listed below. Thanks in advance for your help!

VETERANS DAY IS COMING! Help us prepare!
It's the time of the year when we begin preparing for our school wide Veteran's Day Celebration. It will be held on Friday, November 9th. We would like to have your support in helping to decorate our hallways to honor our Veterans. They will see these decorations as they enter the building and during the parade. Remember to not hang anything over any of the murals in the hallways. We want this to be a day to remember for our Veteran's, students and families. Thank you for synergizing to make this day great! The link from last year and an additional link are provided below:

Human Resources Update: Board Policy Revision GBEB
The Richland Two School Board voted during their regularly scheduled meeting on August 14, 2018 to make revisions to Board Policy GBEB. This policy governs staff conduct, both during and after work hours. Click here for the full text of the revised policy.
The revised policy, GBEB, sets expectations for staff professionalism and conduct, and covers areas such as:
- Social media activity
- Use of district technology resources
- Appropriate relationships with students
- Appropriate relationships with co-workers
It is the professional obligation of all Richland Two employees to be aware of relevant Board policy for staff conduct, so please take a moment to review this important update to existing policy.
