Hope you are having a SUPER week! Thank you all for making our parent-teacher conferences a huge success! Your dedication is simply amazing! Here are a few things to share:
Accreditation Team Sign Up
As sent in a prior email, each school employee is required to serve on one of our accreditation teams. Please send me an email of what team you would like to serve on as the Accreditation Team Sign-Up sheet is not allowing anyone to change it. If I don't hear from you, I'll choose a team for you! :)
Attendance Marking
As a reminder, attendance must be taken DAILY in all 1st period classes by 8:30 AM. Attendance records are considered legal documents so these must be correct every day! Thank you for your help with this!
Sign Up for Student Surveys in Lab
As a reminder, Mike Smith sent out directions concerning our student survey and your need to sign up for a time to take your class. As he noted, he is more than willing to help during your tech time but he will need you to be there while they take the survey. Please remind students that this is VERY important and that they need to take it very seriously as the information will be used by the team who determines our accreditation status.
HSA Grants
HSA $75 teacher grants have been approved for this year. Dawn now has your balances for each of your accounts for the year! Please see her when you need to place an order for classroom supplies or to be reimbursed for items you have purchased. As a reminder, we will not go beyond what is in your account so please consider supplies you will need at the end of the year. Also, HSA is now working on approval of individual classroom HSA grants. They only have limited funds however for these grants so some may not be approved. PLEASE give these to me before HSA as they require my approval before a grant will be issued. Thanks!
Blogs
Just a reminder that I need you to send me links to your blogs AND you will need to send links to your families as well for them to access. It will be a link like cccsfifthgrade.blogspot.com . Mike is putting a link on our website but please send out the link to all of your families as well so they can follow you if they like.
Times You Are Available to Meet
I have had MANY complaints that parents do not know when they can meet with teachers. They understand that most of you are not ok with drop-in conferences but they need to have understanding of when they can ask questions or voice concerns. I am including is this week's Colt that elementary teachers are available from 7:15-7:35 AM to meet and middle school is available from 2:45-3:15 PM as well as during each of your planning periods. I will ask that they contact you to schedule appointments but it would be VERY beneficial for you to communicate this yourselves as well. Please help parents feel comfortable with talking with you!
Want to adopt a priest for your class?
PLEASE SIGN UP! We need to cover all the priest our school has been assigned! This consists of cards, invites to special events, etc.! Please see Dawn for a list of available priests!
