Open House

Open house last night was a great success. Many families came out to learn about the new school year. The school looked great and the staff did an excellent job. Parents were very impressed and rightly so. Everyone did and excellent job. Please turn your sign in sheets to Mr. Davis so we can get a idea of the participation. Quite a few parents came to the gym to hear more about PBS as well. The excitement about this new approach was noticeable.
Today's major events:
Please attend professional development activities you have asked to attend. Please put a copy of your registration in my box. I will forward them to Mrs. Sawyer when she gets back.
Building will close at 5:00
Committee assignments will be be given out by tomorrow.
Grade levels need to develop schedules and turn into on Monday August 24. Please remember to post schedules outside your room. I have met with PRT's and have developed a plan for assigning them to grade levels. I will met with grade chairs in grade 2-5 over the next two days to share the plan.
You will receive parent handbooks next week. There is a signature page for parents. Den Dollars for returned pages is a good way to motivate students.
Soon you will be receiving protocols for the resource room and copying. Things that you want laminated should be brought to the resource room labeled with your name and room number. We are working on getting laminating done either at school or central office.
