Captain's Log 5-21/25

May 21- 25

Boosterthon 

Please refer to the e-mail sent from Marie Cohen on 5/18/2012 concerning the last few outstanding pledges from the Boosterthon.  The PTA does not want to continue to call the student's families and ask for the pledges if we know that circumstances have changed since making the pledge.  We are trying to be sensitive to the needs of the student and family.  IF you have been told something confidentially, you do not need to break confidentiality, but just let the PTA know that your class has completed the collections.  If you have any questions, please see me.

Meet the Teacher

The date for Meet the Teacher for all tracks will be JULY 5 from 5-6 Thank you to the 52 teachers who responded to the survey by Friday.

End of Year

End of Year check out sheet will be coming out this week.  The final edits were completed on Friday afternoon. 

Report Cards:  Track One----Grade levels have them to Administration by Wednesday, May 30.  If you get them completed prior to Wednesday it's ok to send them earlier.  Remember for us, for every one you write multiply by 4 or more. Thank you for making certain your comments continue to address academics and work habits.

EOGs

Thank you to everyone who continued to honor the quiet zones during EOGs.  Our students have done well, so far, with their EOGs.  There will be a few students who will be retaking the EOGs this week from Track 1, so we need to continue to practice the hallway SAIL expectations at all times.

Thank you to John for his organization for the EOGs.  Also to all teachers, teacher assistants, cafeteria and office staff.  EOGs is a whole school effort and each of you did a fantastic job of being a team player during the first two administrations!  One more to go with Tracks 3 and 4!

PLTs

PLTs will meet their normal times this week.

Specials and Lunch Schedule

All schedules are back to normal this week.  Enjoy having a "regular" schedule.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Megan and Pete for receiving a grant for: Check This Out! : Using QR Codes to Access Student-Created Video Book Talks and Book Trailers.  This is another example of the great work going on at OCE!

Check out the Picnic Tables!

Check out the picnic tables on the Kindergarten and First Grade playground.  One of OCE's alumni Chris Eakes, built four "little" kid size picnic tables for his Eagle Scout project.  The project has been approximately a year in the making and this past weekend he was able to finally make the picnic tables!  Congratulations to Chris for making Eagle Scout and to our school for being a part of it!
