Mandy needing some fidget time during the PD.

INFORMATION & ANNOUNCEMENTS:

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

This week's staffroom James Taylor music playlist is being brought to you by Julie Liberator!

Lunch Helpers for this week: Mrs. Jackson's class. Click here for the lunch helper schedule! Please send the same 4-5 students this week to help in the lunchroom @ 12:00. Thank you.

Elections: We're trying to work with the elections people about time/place/etc. It's getting crazy. Thank you for your patience as we try and work with them. Our apologies if we aren't as available. It's possible that it's going to affect lunch on 11/6.

Lunch Craziness: Lunch this week is going to be very different. Kindergarten will be getting lunch first. Currently the plan is to have them eat in the barn, then go back to class. Then at 12:15 the rest of the school will go to lunch. Please walk your hot lunch kids to the line. They will then go outside to eat. The cold lunch kids can start eating outside. They are to remain seated until excused. Election day may blow all of this out of the water, but will keep you informed.

Playground: Please Vote HERE for field access during the week. Voting closes Wednesday.

Recess Duty: PLEASE BE TO RECESS DUTY ON TIME! It's a safety issue if you are walking out to duty after the bell.

Math visit: Michael Nordlin's visit had to be rescheduled. I'll let you know ASAP when it's going to happen.

District Curriculum Inventory: The district Library Media Specialist will be coming out to each school site to do curriculum inventory. They are going to start with OR, because we have the most up to date inventory. They are going to be asking for your help. I will let you know more when I know more.

Classroom Debris: Before your kids leave for the day, please have them help clean up debris from the floor. (i.e. pencils, pens, crayons, paper, books, clothing) This will help expedite the cleaning process. Many hands make light the work. Thank you.

*Culture Club Update: Leaders are going back to their grade levels and talking about what we should celebrate and how to celebrate as a site to help our brainstorming process. Leaders will then return to club meeting with information. This will take some time to work out. In the meantime, bring ideas and share successes.

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