Today is day 2 on the specials calendar.
Staff meeting in media center at 7:30.
First grade planning day.
Yesterday's Drop Everything and Read event was a great success. I briefly walked around before I started reading and saw many staff members participating as well-hopefully we will have another one soon and let's all pitch in.
Skate night had a great turn out last night. The students wanted to see me skate, but I'm no dummy! Students who attended last night earned a homework pass. Please honor that for 1 night free for homework. It would not of course be used for a project or long term assignment, but for one night's routine assignments. Working with our families encourages participation in events like this and they only take place every couple of months or so.
Welcome to Mrs. Tawanda Briton, who is our lunch monitor starting yesterday. For those who don't have scheduled duty free on a particular day, don't leave your class yet. I want to make sure she is comfortable with how we do things in the cafeteria and your presence will be needed.
Once duty free starts fully, teachers are expected to escort students to the cafeteria and serving lines and pick them up on time.
PBS corner-
Shopping in the Grizzly Den has gone well-thanks to Mrs. Bland, Mrs. McCotter, Mrs. Orner and our volunteer supreme-Mrs. Slater. Mr. Johnson will help coordinate schedules for students who brought lunch with a friend (any friend on any grade level, of course) or administrator.
