Nuts and Bolts Items:
-WIS-South Float – We are needing quite a bit of help on T/Th evening to get our float put together and would love to have everyone in attendance so it goes fast! Also, each team will be completing two film strip posters by Wed. Remember, Mrs. Berger has offered her room for students to complete this from 2:15-3:30 pm if you need help and/or supplies. Have any donations we’re looking for to complete our float? Be sure to let Paige/Annette know!
**Parent/Teacher conferences – Conferences will be held Thurs. Oct. 23 and Tues. Oct. 29. This is a change due to Oct. 31 being Halloween. All certified staff will stay these evenings for their scheduled conferences.
-IPI Categories – This link will take you to the categories for IPI that were shared at last week’s faculty meeting.
-Emergency procedures – This link is to the intruder drill specifics and copy of parent email that was sent re: drills for your information.
-Magic erasers: In order to help keep our walls, etc. cleaner, each classroom teacher will receive a magic eraser in your mailbox. Please use caution with these so as not to scrub the walls too hard.
-Recess:
New balls, connect 4, Jenga, etc. have been placed just inside the recess doors on the 6th grade side. These are for everyone's use.
Please supervise the basketball court closely as the games seem to be getting pretty competitive.
Also, monitor students out by houses to ensure items are not getting thrown over the fences.
-Class parties: Homeroom parent information will be coming soon, but mark down the dates for this year’s parties:
Fall party – Oct. 18 (Early Out)
Valentine’s party – Feb. 14 (Early Out)
