Wednesday, October 7, 2009


Today is day 6 on the Specials calendar.
Thanks to everyone who helped out at McTeacher night last night. Everyone had a great time.
Reminders:
Please do not dismiss YMCA students before they should be called. (They are called with K-1 bus riders). Review PBS dismissal procedures. Children of staff members should be dismissed with car riders to go to their parents' room.

Ron, Kendra and Kim will be in a workshop for most of the morning. They shall be learning about Classscapes, a database for assessments.

The Rc and Rsv days at the end of the month and in March have been switched. Thursday, October 29 is now a Rc workday. Please review new staff development offerings posted in the mailroom to see if you have a mandatory workshop. (AL may be used if no workshop scheduled) Friday, October 30 is an Rsv day and since our staff did not vote to have any staff development, staff may take AL. Report cards are due no later than October 30 to be reviewed by your administrator-no exceptions. No leave on either day can be taken if report cards are not finished. There will be an mandatory excel report card workshop on Tuesday, October 27. Please sign up on line(homeroom teachers only). K-1 from 9-10:00 (assistants will cover classes) and 2-5 will be after-school from 3:15-4:15.

Please sign up for Touch math workshop offered on October 15th and October 22nd by Laura and Kim. There will be door prizes and materials you can get.
