Our PTO will be providing us with a coffee truck on Monday when we return. Head to the playground anytime between 7-9 AM to enjoy a hot beverage. In addition, our School Board will be providing the staff with their holiday gift and lunch on Friday, January 12.
We have a lot to look forward to in the new year.
Two weeks away from school. Staying up too late watching TV? Playing video games all day? Sleeping in several extra hours? Taking daily naps? These are some of the ways that our students will spend their break, so it’s important to reteach your behavioral expectations when students return. You don’t need to spend several weeks reestablishing your classroom culture, but several days should be used to help students transition back into the routines of our school day.
In the beginning of the school year, the students created a social contract. So, ask them what they expect their classmates to continue to do in the new year. Let your students lead these discussions by restating what we all expect now that we’ve had some time to get to know each other and some time away.There has been an EXCESSIVE amount of paper that is being printed and left in the copier room. As you know, one of our Core Values is to “act with discipline to sustain our academic success and financial viability.” Please make sure to pick up all the copies that you are making.
As a reminder, please only print color documents to the color printer.
I’m seeing a lot of black and white documents coming from that printer. The ink
for the color printer is more expensive than the other copiers.
