Teachers, Mrs. Sawyer will post sign up sheets in the mail room for you to indicate your plans for October 29 and 30th. If you plan to take annual leave, indicate it with "AL" beside your name. If you plan to work, indicate with a "W" beside your name. Other leave such as furlough or comp time must be requested or indicated by email only by this Friday so I can research the request. All staff must make their plan known by Wednesday, October 28th.

Please continue to give to United Way. We have had 32% of our staff help us reach 73% of our goal. Please consider giving something to make a difference. This is not just a sound byte, but it really can help.

The classified staff member of the quarter selection process will be different this year. Next week nominations will be accepted by any staff member (Monday and Tuesday). On Wednesday, October 28, classified staff members will vote from nominated persons. Just like the teacher of the year, there is a designated parking spot and that person will be recognized on the website and announcements.
