TOSA Tips: One of the areas that our district PD’s are focusing on this year is math, specifically the effective math lesson. I wanted to share the Tier 1 small group information with you one more time because it really does make a difference.  You will be able to spend more time with small groups and really be able to see what your students really need so they can guide your instruction.

*Parents on Campus: Gates are closed and we are a closed campus for most of the day. However, gates are open after school, so parents can help find their kids, their items, etc. In your emails to parents let them know that scheduling an appointment is encouraged so that you can give them all of your attention.


Lunch Sharing Baskets: On Monday Richard will be going over the Sharing Basket procedures at lunchtime with the students. In an attempt to reduce waste, there will be four categories of food that we will encourage students to place in the basket instead of throwing in the trash. 
  1. Fruits or veg (not items in container with lid)
  2. Whole or packaged foods (raisins, Scooby Snacks)
  3. Juice Boxes
  4. Packaged, unopened baked goods (waiting for clarification but waffles, not anything cheezy)
Milk may not be placed in the basket since it is an item that will spoil and students should not be taking one if they don't intend to drink it.

Portable Ramps: Students are not permitted to be on ramps at recess.

Classroom Outdoor Tables: 4th and 5th grade students are permitted to sit at the tables between Mrs. Isaac and Mrs. Orr classrooms. No food is to be eaten on them since there are no trash cans. Students are allowed to carefully raise the umbrellas. Teachers please train your students how to correctly raise them. At the end of the day please ensure they are lowered and fastened shut.  


PTC

Boosterthon (10/24-11/4): Please make sure to play the video to your students and pass out the flyer. Flyer is already in your box and the video is coming Monday morning. Students will return the ticket if they created a profile and added in emails. Drop off the raffle tickets in the box in the office. Raffles will start on Thursday with a winner from each grade level. 


PTC Meeting(12/6): Our next general meeting is on Tuesday, October 18th at 6:30pm. If you can attend a meeting, please sign up here. We hope you can join us!


Events: Check out upcoming events and our year at a glance HERE.



Sparkler:
Get Well Soon: On behalf of Orchard Ranch, we sent a Doordash gift card to Stephanie Sage. Carrie Rohla is collecting cash and gift cards to create a basket. A friend of Stephanie's also set up a meal train. There are some days in November available if you would like to contribute. We are thinking of you, Stephanie!

Next Happy Hour (11/3): Come to Kitchen 747 to celebrate the end of trimester one on November 3rd at 2:26pm. RSVP on the google calendar invite. So far we have 8 staff members attending. We hope to see you there! 


**Please remember to check the LIVE Google Calendar as dates/times are subject to change.
