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


Recess/Lunch: 1) Students are not allowed to play any form of "Butt's Up". Just handball.
2)On Tuesday I will be in the lunchroom talking with the students about why it's
important to keep the Barn clean. I will be working with the MDS to enforce
picking up after yourself. It would be great if you could come by the Barn when
your classes lunch ends to help them clean and then release to recess. Thank
you.

Recess Rodeo: Per the PBIS Teams email we will be having a Recess Rodeo to reinforce the rules and expectations on the playground on 2/16 @ 10am. Please be there right at 10am and review the OR rules of the playground. You may need to print them up and bring them out. Thank you.

*Fire Inspection: Until further notice, please remove all paper products from doors and furniture from around the fire extinguishers. Thank you.

*Emergency Plans: Over the next 2 weeks we will be conducting a...

  • Fire Drill 2/15 @ 11am
  • Lockdown (Inside) Drill 2/15 @1pm
  • Duck & Cover Drill 2/21 @ 11am
  • Please review our safety situations document HERE to be prepared.

PLC Leadership: Topics for next meeting are...
  • Flexible Furniture
  • Playground Lockdown Procedures
  • RtI challenges/successes
*Walkies and Vests: Please remember to always wear your orange vests on duty. We are teaching kids to look for orange vests when they need help.

Leaving your room: You should also always have your walkie on duty or when you leave your classroom. This allows for us to better communicate with you if you're not in your classroom. Also, please vox or walkie your new location if it's somewhere other than your scheduled time. PE, music, etc. are already on the schedule, so no need to vox those out. Thank you.

*Computer Update: Just a quick reminder, our Information Systems Technician team will be at your site this week to update teacher laptops, and deploy Google File Stream.


Wednesday, February 14th at Orchard Ranch

File Stream is Google's new name for Drive. Nothing within your existing Google Drive folder will change. However, File Stream requires an Operating System update before it can be installed.

A technician will be in their classroom on the date assigned above for our site to update their laptops. Each update should take no more than an hour, and each technician will have a spare laptop on them should the teacher need a device during that time.

Another reminder, to speed up the process, please move any files from their local hard drive, downloads folder, or desktop to their Google Drive, and then remove the items from your
local hard drive, downloads folder, or desktop.

Josh: I will be out 2/15 to take my mom to appointments. Please contact our TICs or Carie Vincent if you need anything. Thank you for understanding. 

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