INFORMATION & ANNOUNCEMENTS:
(“*” Indicates the number of weeks it’s been in newsletter.)

Title 24: We are the first Title 24 compliant school in the district. This means we are on the cutting edge of energy savings technology and procedures. With that some some quirks with regards to our school. We are trying to figure out what's an issue and what's Title 24. We will keep you updated.

 PTC Meeting 12/4: CANCELLED!

 Holiday Sing: To help with the craziness of the last day before break, Josh will be leading a sing a long in the Barn December
22 from 9-10. This is optional, but a lot of fun. We will simply be singing Christmas songs and caroling. Bring your Christmas Cheer! Attached are the Christmas Carols and links to the song on youtube. They are a little cheesy, but please make sure the kids know it will be a lot cooler when we sing together. If you know the song or a cooler version, please feel free to practice that. Thank you. Click HERE for Christmas Carols.

*Trimester 2 Yard Duty Schedule: The new Yard Duty Schedule begins today 11/27/17. If you need to switch, please check with the staff member you want to switch with and then let me know. Yard Duty Schedule
*Hour of Code: Computer Science Education Week is December 4th-10th. The Hour of Code is a global movement by Computer Science Education Week and Code.org reaching tens of millions of students in 180+ countries through a one-hour introduction to computer science and computer programming.You can find new Hour of Code activities and also Minecraft: Hero’s Journey. 

*Communication: Please continue the great communication via VOXER. It has really helped us function as a school site. Remember, the best way to support each other on the playground and in the classroom is to communicate behavior challenges/celebrations to each other, so we aren't surprised. Minor behavior problems don't need to be communicated unless they are repetitive. A good rule is "No Surprises".

*iReady/SMART Goals: We will be reviewing our data and how we are doing on our SMART Goals at the 12/11 PLC in the staff room. Please be reviewing your data and come ready to discuss positives and the direction your team is going. 

*Library Books: Please inform your families that we are NOT collecting any more donated books. We appreciate their support. We have so many that we need to go through them, barcode them, and create a list of needs. Thank you. 

*Drop and Walk: We will be hosting our first Roseville City Drop and Walk Day Wednesday, 12/6 at 8:30. It's similar to walk to school day, but the city has designated safe "Drop and Walk" zones around our school to promote safe places to drop kids off at and walk to school. We just need 3 staff member to meet with kids at 8:30 at our 2 locations. Please let me know if you're able to help. The walk won't be as long as Walk to School Day. Thank you! The kids are excited to see staff there. 

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