Meeting Cancelled

 


We are cancelling our upcoming PLC. This is just another way for the leadership team to show you that we care about you! We know this is a busy time of year for everyone professionally (preparing to meet with all our families at conferences) and personally (preparing/hosting for the holidays). Take this time for you!

Unground Spirit Week

Our “underground spirit week” for staff is next week.  Remember it’s a secret spirit week where only the teachers participate and know about it. So do not confirm or deny allegations from students or parents when asked. This will drive the students crazy (which will make this even better). I strongly encourage you to be as obnoxious as possible with your attire interpretations. 

  • Monday, November 18: different shoe day. Wear two different shoes and dress down.
  • Tuesday, November 19: anything but a cup day. Use anything out of the norm to drink from and pretend it's totally normal. 
  • Wednesday, November 20: dress as your favorite holiday
  • Thursday, November 21: monochromatic day. Wear your favorite color from head to toe.
  • Friday, November 22: camouflage day

 

If you choose not to participate on a particular day, then you will need to wear your normal business professional attire.

New Lunch Procedure

 


As we discussed at our staff meeting, we heard your concerns regarding the timeliness of lunch. As a solution to your feedback, we have a new lunch procedure starting this Monday, November 18 that will provide a double serving line which will hopefully expediate the process.  

It’s imperative that you follow the schedule below as we navigate 3rd-5th grade students exiting the gym at the same time that K-2 is entering. Thank you in advance for being flexible the first two weeks of this new process as we already anticipate that adjustments will have to be made.

K-5 Schedule

1.   12:00       Kinder enters the gym

2.   12:03       5th grade begins cleaning up

3.   12:05       3rd grade will begin lining up 

4.   12:07       4th grade will begin lining up

5.   12:07       2nd graders enter the gym through the single door

6.   12:10       3-5 exit the gym

(5th grade will go out of Door #5 to recess and 3rd & 4th will exit using the single door).

7.   12:12       1st grade will enter through the single door
