CELEBRATIONS!!  - Mrs. Wolf's son is getting married this week. Congratulations to her entire family.  She will be out of the office Tues.-Fri. We wish the happy couple a lifetime of happiness and joy. The office staff will be assisting during her absence so please get your attendance in on time every morning:) We appreciate your help.



Cell Phone Usage Reminder-At no time should a staff member supervising students be using a cell phone or other portable devices. This means there should be no cell phone usage in classrooms during instruction, no cell phones in the cafeteria, arrival or dismissal time, on the playground or in the gym. We have already reviewed the requirements for Testing.  It is our duty to be giving full attention with no distractions to our students. Our focus should always be on our students. Ms. Frazier and I will be monitoring this. Please remember this as well when supervising students on the playground. There has been an increase in both discipline and injuries that might have been avoided. Please spread out to supervise. Thank you for your cooperation and help in putting our students first:)

 Professional Responsibilities:  As the last weeks of school are upon us, it is very important and your responsibility to read ALL of your emails. There will be important information coming from Administration, CC, and LTM Facilitator, concerning retentions, testing, scheduling, etc....EOGs begin this week with Science and continue next week with Reading and Math.  Please make sure that you have turned in your hand written rosters, list of expected grades and proficiency levels for reading and math (grades 3/4/5).

Thinking Ahead........

As we close down, please make sure that you complete everything relevant to you on the End of the Year checklist.  Make sure if you take permanent records out of the records room, they are signed out.  At no time, should a permanent record be taken out of our building. Your classroom should be left clean. Bulletin Boards should be covered or taken down if you are told that you are moving.  CHECKLISTS MUST BE TURNED IN AS WELL AS KEYS. We will have the Summer Feeding Program here as well as the Y Summer Camp. We will keep them contained in Building A.  Tia will need a list of Y kid's grades after you do report cards. 

You will get more information this week on retentions, EVAAS rosters, preparing class lists for next year and scheduling.
