Friday, September 25
Today is day 4 on the specials calendar.
School spirit day
Monday will be picture day. A schedule has been provided.
Please welcome Ms. Tammy Martin to Gibson. She will work with our custodial staff to keep our building beautiful. She works in the evenings to replace Mr. Alex Johnson.
Mr. Ken Leak is our SES coordinator and Title 1 parent coordinator. He will work closely to supervise SES providers and make sure things run smoothly.
The Title 1 parent meeting had a great turnout. Next week, a student-parent compact will be sent home with each child. For each child that returned the forms signed, they will get a den dollar. Just turn in your signed forms to Ken with your name so we can know who will get the den dollars.
October 1, next Thursday, will be our annual Curriculum night. That is a night grade levels share information with parents about curriculum for the upcoming quarter or year. Long range plans, grading information, activities are all things to be discussed. Most effective in giving a uniform message is when grade levels meet with parents as a team. Some teachers meet in classrooms as well. Either is acceptable as long as as a grade level, parents get a consistent message on what to expect this year. I expect all certified staff to participate even if you are not a homeroom teacher. Staff need to stay the entire time even though your main presentation time may be earlier or later. Kindergarten through second grade is from 6-7 and third through fifth is from 7-8. (I am typing from home and don't have the exact time in front of me-if I am wrong, I will correct it during the next post.)
We will have to have a brief meeting to discuss United Way giving. Date to be announced.
I will let staff know about coverage for Wednesday staff the basketball game early next week. If a homeroom teacher works with a full time assistant-that pretty much is a bet. I will ask other staff to help supervise students either through splitting classes or reassigning folks temporarily. I will let everyone know Monday.
PBS corner-Final staff basketball game raffle drawing Friday. Two more raffles will be held in October. More info later.
