Today is day 4 on the specials calendar
WSFCS will close two hours early today-Students will be dismissed at 12:40 today.
We will serve lunch today at an a different schedule. You will receive a modified lunch schedule this morning.
We will also have a change in specials as well. Both schedules will be provided this morning.
Teachers, we will probably have many students absent or to be checked out even earlier. Please maintain organized activities and make the office aware of any major changes in your routine (combined class parties, etc.) so your class can be located if needed.
Transportation may be off despite the fact schools close early. Buses may not be called as expected-please be patient and maintain supervision of your students.
School Board policy states that staff need to work regular hours when school is closed early unless early dismissal is warranted by the superintendent and I will be notified to inform you.
Last night's Holiday dance was a HUGE success !! There were more parents and kids than I would have dreamed-(probably 300+). Girls were in frilly dresses, boys were in sharp looking suits and the parents dressed up as well. Several dads wore suits and moms wore fancy dresses.
Mr. Legins led the students in several musical games and snacks were served to any who wanted it. I spent much of the night pouring soda. The PTA did a great job pulling it altogether. Next year (yes, they are talking about next year), I would love for more staff to attend. You will get a kick out of it, trust me.
Please make sure custodians are aware of extra trash in your rooms so nothing will be left over the break.
Finally I won't post another blog until 2010. Have a great holiday and enjoy your time with your families.

PBS corner-We all have experienced the "Christmas Rush" and I don't mean being in a hurry. I mean the excitable, highly energetic attitudes of our precious 5-11 year olds. Add to that, the flurry of exciting activities, it's important to give students a little breathing room. Make sure activities are organized, interesting and focused. We don't expect to give any early vacations except for the most serious offenses and we would like students to stay in class as much as possible. There will be many activities that just can't be missed.
