Week 5

 

Happy Week 5 Everyone!  

Welcome to the last week of September!  Are you ready for Fall?  I sure am.  I can't wait...I love the colors, the crisp blue skies, the apples, pumpkins, leaves, COFFEE and "Swetta Wetha...aka Sweater Weather".

Uniform Updates

There have been some updates to the uniform colors for our school.  In addition to the lime green and white polo/collared shirts, we are now adding the colors of Navy and Gray.  They must also be the collared shirts.  If students wear navy or gray, please know they are still "in uniform".

I Can Statements

Here is an example of "I Can" statements that meet the expectations we've been discussing.  If your's don't meet the expectations, this might be a style you'd like to incorporate into your classroom.

Recess Procedure

For the classes/grades that go out for recess, please remember you must take your walkie, your vest, and your red bag.

Sub Plans

Please make sure that you have a sub folder and plans available at all times.  

Moral Focus - Wisdom 

Each classroom teacher needs to submit the name of one student who exhibits the Moral Focus of Wisdom to the Moral Focus Google Doc sent out by Mrs. Wheeler.  They will be recognized during our October Moral Focus Assembly.  Please keep this a secret from the students so that it is a surprise.

SchoolConnect/Dojo

Please remember to add me to your Dojo or Remind.

Candy Fundraiser

Please remember to follow the expectations for our Candy Sale.  Teachers create a class grid with student names, collect the forms, mark the number of boxes of candy (1 at a time), get the boxes of candy and give them to the students, and collect the money. We will come daily to collect the money from the teachers and pass out the incentives.

Cell Phones

Please continue to be diligent about collecting cell phones and locking them up. This is non-negotiable.

Hall Passes

These are NOT being utilized consistently.  Remember to utilize your hall passes for any emergency bathroom situations.  Also, only ONE student at a time may be out of your classroom.

Grade Level Newsletters

These are to be sent out weekly to parents via your SchoolConnect/Dojo.  This is an expectation. 

Attendance

Weekly Attendance grids must be printed out on Fridays and placed in your Attendance File located in the Dean's Office.

Grade Level Team Meetings and 03's

Just one last reminder that 03s are in the Deans Office and the GLT's are in the Team Leads classroom
