INFORMATION & ANNOUNCEMENTS:
(“*” Indicates the number of weeks it’s been in newsletter.)
PTC Meeting: PTC meeting Monday, 11/6 @ 6:30. Teachers attending are Hanby and Wilke. Thank you.

Conferences: Just in case I don't get a chance to tell you in person, this is our FIRST conference week. This sets the precedent for how OR parents feel when talked to about their child. Please make sure you demonstrate and communicate that...

  • We care!
  • We listen!
  • We are PARTNERS in their child's education!
  • We are doing everything we can to support them and their child! 


 *News from The Ranch BLOG: I've included the community newsletter BLOG as a live link at the top, so you can refer to it, if necessary, when talking with parents.


*Recess: Students should freeze when they hear the bell. When everyone is frozen and ready, teacher blows whistle and student must WALK to their classes.

*Classroom Clean: Night custodians only have 20 min in your classroom to do what they need to do on their schedule. If you have a student or a case of students who are really sick and you would like a table wipe down, please fill out a custodial request for table wipe down in the evening. Please keep in mind that the table wipe down may affect the cleaning of something else in your room for that evening. Thank you for understanding.

**Tape: I will be coming around this week to see if there's any tape that needs to be removed from doors or walls. Please use blue painters tape to attach posters and papers to doors and walls. It will prevent residue and lengthen the longevity of our paint. Thank you. If you need some, we have some in the office.



Note: Dates may change. Please continue to double-check the google calendar to confirm dates.
