Today is day 6 on the specials calendar
First grade LTM today
Second grade LTM was yesterday.
Our visitors were impressed with the building despite the fact they didn't stay very long. Good job everyone.
Imagine It! materials are in the building. If you have seen the three pallets in the lobby you may guess it will be quite an undertaking to get everything catalogued. The goal is to have teacher manuals distributed Friday for the weekend. We will get other materials out as soon as possible thereafter. We will contact instructional services about a recommended start date since the materials are just getting in. We would like to start as a school, everybody on the same page.
It seems my requests for self-control regarding the supply room are not getting through. Folks are still taking boxes of materials that can't possibly be used at this time. I will address this more at the faculty meeting-but until then, please practice self-restraint.

I will be giving homeroom teachers an article about homework to read. We will discuss it at Tuesday's meeting. It is a very good article.
You each received your PBIS handbook today. Please put it with your staff handbook and bring both to the meeting on Tuesday.
We will be distributing two handbooks for parents in the next few days that will go home in our first Wednesday packet to be sent home on September 8. One handbook is the WSFCS student handbook. One for each child was not printed but we were sent the names of the youngest child in a particular family. Those books will be labeled and given to you to send home. If you don't get enough WSFCS handbooks for each student in your class, that's the reason. Each student will receive a Gibson Elementary student handbook. We do have English and Spanish versions. We have a list, but if you don't get enough for the Spanish speaking families in your class, let us know. Both books need to go home next Wednesday.
