Today is day 5 on the specials calendar.
Congratulations to our fifth grade students and teachers and Mrs. Ayers. The Holiday musical was a great success. The songs and performances were outstanding.
Everyone that participated in Secret Santa should meet in the art room this morning at 7:30 to share a treat and learn who your personal "Santa Claus" is.
The AR committee did a fantastic job selling doughnuts yesterday. I believe 200 dozen were sold in all. Great job , committee and in today's economy, it never hurts to have a "fall back" career:-)
Third, fourth and fifth grade teachers make sure you sign up for planning days on line before your scheduled planning day.
We will be voting for our teacher of the year on Monday and Tuesday of next week. Please review the bio sheets from each of our three candidates.
Classroom teachers of Reading and Math, make sure you turn in all required reports to Kendra or Kim or Administrators on time. There are several outstanding reports from a number of teachers.
Our PTA Mother/Son and Father/Daughter dance is next Thursday from 6-8:30. The K-2 class and 3-5 class with the highest participation will win a pizza party. The limo ride for top sellers of the PTA fundraiser will be next Thursday as well. We will get a print out of names for you before then.
PBS reminders-This week and next are full of excitement and activity for students and some students may cross the line. Remember to use classroom discipline forms and if a child needs a D-1 make sure you have it filled out when the child comes to the office. Children who come to the office for disciplinary reasons without a D-1 will have to be sent back to class. The whole purpose of PBS is to maximize students time in classroom.
Do not use the strategy of sending students to another class excessively as well. We will have assemblies when we return to school from the break as "booster" shot of PBS.
Also, starting in January, I am asking teachers to provide copies of lesson plans to your assigned administrator in lieu of us reviewing them in class. With all of the happenings in a day, trying to get to classrooms and review plans adequately is just not possible between the three adminstrators. We want to provide good feedback, not just rush through something. If you do not know or have an assigned administrator, you will have one in January.
