EOG test administrator testing training-tomorrow at 7:30 sharp
Thank you to all certified staff for completing the professional development survey sent by email yesterday. If you haven't filled it out, please take 5 min (if that) to do so. The information gathered will be very helpful for planning for next school year.
PBS corner-
It is very important that teachers have an extra special "push" of giving out den dollars in the last few weeks of school. The PBS committee has several fun raffles planned for the end of the year, along with the last opportunity to shop in the school store for this year. It has been noted that some students come to the school store with very few den dollars, 3 or 4 sometimes. Each staff member should give out at least 2 or 3 packs of den dollars in the last few weeks of school. The more we reinforce the right expectations, the smoother the school year will end.

Please join me in welcoming Liz Messick, who will be serving as our "sub" secretary while Mrs. Sawyer gets better.
Speaking of "Hen"...
For those that didn't know, Mrs. Sawyer had Gallstone surgery last weekend and is recovering nicely at this time. We would like to bring her some meals after she arrives back home. We will let you know when that is. There will be a sign up sheet posted. Thanks for your generosity last time.
Please give to the UNCF college fund. This worthy effort helps ensure the dream of college for deserving students who may not have the resources to finance college. Who knows, maybe some of our students will be recipients of UNCF scholarships in a few years. I certainly believe that is very likely. Remember our committee has prizes and gifts for pledging.The UNCF campaign runs until May 22.
Please begin thinking about how you will organize your recordkeeeping and closing procedures for the end of the year. It's right around the corner. At our next staff meeting, we will share deadlines and dates with you.
