No Parking or Walking on Icy Surfaces
It was brought to my attention by Mike Novak that on Friday of Parent/Teacher Conferences that there was a staff member that parked on ice on the parking lot of the school. Their car was sliding down the hill it was so slick. For your own safety. please use caution when parking or exiting your car and be aware of icy patches on our black top.
New Folder System in Front Office
As we have numerous things that are dropped off in the front office daily, we have created a system in the folder in which lesson plans used to go for things brought to school from parents or other individuals, ie., permission slips, etc. Please regularly come to the office to check these folders so you can gather what we may have for you. We hope this gets important "stuff" to you more quickly. Obviously, students will continue to be called for lunches so no worries on this!
AdvancEd Planning Meeting and Needed Documents
Just a reminder that we will have an AdvancEd planning meeting on March 13 from 3-5 PM. We will be going through the Accreditation report we sent in and go over the logistics for March 17 and 18. This is a mandatory meeting as we all need to be on the same page! :)
Also, we need UP TO DATE Class Schedules and Procedures/Rules for EVERY class. Please email or print me a copy of your current schedule. We will be sharing these with the team so they know where they can find you and what you will be doing the two days they are here.
