No PLC meetings this week, but there is a short video Dr. Martin has produced about PLC's (about 9 min) that I encourage everyone to see. To get to the video, go to the WSFCS main web page, click district videos. click Superintendent Videos (in touch), click Nov 2009-Professional Learning Communities. The video briefly highlights the value of PLC's. Mr. Johnson and Mrs. Hufstader will be attending additional training help us get started by training grade level facilitators.

We will include two special notices with report cards: One will be a note describing the attendance profiles to be included and another note will inform parents of some parenting VHS tapes available for check out. You should be getting both notes on Monday in time to put in report cards.
PTA fundraiser items were to be picked up Friday. All items were not picked up and PTA will contact parents about picking up items.
This week will be a planning week for many of the things discussed at our last staff meeting. I may ask some of you for input as we look to reexamine schedules. While I understand that for many of you the impact of the meeting was different than past meetings, I also thank you for your willingness and efforts to do all you do for our students because when all is said and done, they are our main thing.
