Fire Safety and Doors In the Building
Thanks to everyone for doing a great job on our recent Fire Drill!
A few reminders:
Classroom doors should be closed and locked when you are not in your classroom. If you notice that someone may have forgotten or is not in their classroom, please close the door. If you need a new magnet for your door, please see Shannon.
All double doors need to be closed at all times. If you notice any double doors propped open, please remove the wedge as you pass by.
new Book Room Check-Out Procedures
- Please find your class # clothespin and put it on the box of the book you are checking out.
- Please take the WHOLE bag of books even if you aren't using all of the books.
- When you return the book, please use the Bin # code on the label so you will know where the book goes.
- Take your clothespin off and return it to your class bag.
If you have any questions, or can't find where a book goes, please let Bfrett know! I hope this system will help us all be able to use the books!

COMMUNITY MEETING
furniture
"Every year the School Department requests funding for furniture and equipment from the City’s Capital Budget. The School Department submits its Capital Budget to the City in late September and once submitted to the City, it is difficult to change it. While doing projections of need is always challenging, it is vital that our budget submissions include as much as we know about the need for furniture, equipment and renovations. In order to receive replacement of existing furniture, you must include a photograph showing the damage of the unsafe furniture or give an explanation as to why it must be replaced. Any future furniture request and must be made known prior to September 30th."
