Today is day 4 on the specials calendar.
Assembly at 9:30 for second-fifth students in the gym for W-S Dash reading program. Mrs. Dooley
will share details at the assembly. The program has very simple implementation and big pay off for kids.
Classified staff may vote for classified staff member of the quarter. Ballots may be picked up from Ms. Sanchez or Mrs. White.
The nominees are: Traci Brownlee, Mrs. Sharon Dean, Mrs. Deborah Muse, Mr. Ken Leak, Mrs. Winter Orner and Mr. Eudulio Solis. Congratulations to these nominees for their outstanding work.
Voting is today only. The winner will be announced Monday (do you think we'll be in school?:-)
Speaking of next week, We will postpone giving out report cards in relation to the number of days (if any) we are out of school due to bad weather. Administrators will try their best to get report cards read and notify you as as soon as possible.

Due to increased morning traffic which I believe is a result of colder weather, I am going to ask office staff to not give out tardy slips until 8:25 for a while. We are having instances of parents letting their children out of the car in conditions that are unsafe, but I am also reminded that most parents are just trying to get their child to school. Students may come to you class after 8:20 but before 8:25 without a late pass. Don't stress yourselves or them. This will last only until weather breaks. We don't have to broadcast it (For our eyes only)
Next Tuesday's staff meeting will cover some very important issues. Do not schedule appointments or meetings that may conflict.
