Welcome Back:

Welcome back track 3!  We have missed you! 

Beginning this week, we will have the MOST students and staff in the building! Please remind your students to follow the SAIL expectations at all times. Also, please stand at your doors in the AM and PM to help monitor hallway movement.  It's amazing how quickly students remember to walk when they see an adult. :) 

Media Center:

We have a substitute in the Media Center!  If you have any questions concerning technology, software or books, please go to her.  She may or may not have the answer, but she will give me the information, so we can get it taken care of in a timely manner.  This will also help us begin to collect data on areas of need, which I will be able to provide our new Media Specialists.  I understand it is often easier to go across the hall and ask a peer, but that interrupts learning for the students or takes away from their planning time. Thanks in advance for your help as we continue to move forward during this transition time.

Profile Cards:

Profile cards are now electronic!  They have been loaded into Performance Matters, the software selected for housing system data. Kathy, Lorrie and I will be working on a plan to provide the neccessary training needed. You will be able to  login and enter your information before the end of the first 9 weeks.  (We will get Track 1 teachers trained first, since the end of their 9 weeks is coming quickly!).

SIP:

Thank you to those who have completed the Daily Cafe survey.  If you haven't had a chance yet, here is the link:

Landlubbers Club:

Just a reminder for 3rd, 4th and 5th grade teachers:

Please forward to your families. Our season will begin in a few weeks and we need to have permission forms before runners can participate.

Thanks,

We are excited for the fall season of Landlubbers to begin? If your third through fifth grader is interested, please complete the google doc.
