Today is day 3 on the specials calendar.
Hospitality committee meeting today at 7:30
No Kindergarten PLC meeting today.
Fourth and fifth grade PLC meeting as scheduled.
SES tutoring today. SES students will be called to come to the cafeteria from the classroom. Please do not send students in advance. K-1 teachers have developed a plan to have K-1 SES students dismissed from the gym.
The PTA has finalized the amounts awarded to all classrooms as a result of the fundraiser. Mrs. Hill will get ordering information to teachers within the next few days. The amounts are less than in past years, but the PTA did ask me to remind everyone that they have a project or supplies funding process that can be very significant.
The PTA will be busy in December. The PTA is sponsoring Gibson's first Father/Daughter-Mother/Son Winter dance on December 17 from 6-8:30 in the gym. There will be food, music and activities throughout the evening. There will even be special opportunities to capture memories with photographs. Please send home flyers today in Wednesday packets.
3-5 teachers, please go ahead and begin to use the Word builder activities given out earlier this week. I have seen some exciting lessons already.
Also, please review the Classscape assessment information discussed November 9. Remember, the first assessment using Classscape is due in early December. If anyone needs to have a refresher or review the program, let me know and perhaps we can get together early next week to review high points.
I am still reviewing the updated ESL schedule before implementation November 30. Changes will have to be made and I want to remind everyone there has to be give and take in order to "get it all" in.
