Quote of the Week

"If nobody said anything unless they knew what they were talking about, a ghastly hush would descent upon the earth."

Thank you!

To those of you who have contributed grocery gift cards.  If you are looking for the envelop, it  is under the candy jar in Janet's office.

To our presenters last week at our Early Release.  Each of you did a FANTASTIC job!

Many of you know we were planning on giving some of our office clerical time to Pete, to help get books and technology cataloged so we could begin using them. All Media Centers lost their Media Assistant  a couple years ago.  That said, in checking with several of my friends, we could provide relief through the office clerical for certain task.  So...relief is here!  Now that Annie is back, she will be moving to the Media Center beginning Tuesday, October 2.




Transportation Information--Update on the no longer existing Route 5

BUS: NO route 5 any longer.  Students who previously rode route 5 and live in Pearson Farms ride route 3.  Students who previously rode route 5 who live in Scots Mill ride route 9.  If you are not certain which bus your student might ride, we have the complete list in the office.

CARPOOL:  Our students in the upper grades do NOT know their carpool numbers.  This is creating a delay in the carpool line, which is causing a great deal of problems.  Please assign carpool numbers as homework this week, and give an "assessment" to make certain they know their number.  Everyone who has and will be on carpool duty greatly appreciates your help on this.

Professional Development:

Dreambox

A few questions have come up about Dreambox Learning and how many students we can place on the program.  ALL students will have access to the program both at school and home.  There is no limit to OCE student access.  Please let us know if you would like us to move forward with the scheduling the professional development to support us with utilizing this resource.


Military Forms

Teachers please complete the information for the Military Forms.  If you have any quesitons, please contact Niti Wade our school Social Worker.

 

Teachers compile their classes completed questionnaires, complete the SMF report form and submit all paperwork to my box.  Track 1: 10/5

Track 1 please send your forms out when your students return on 10/1-Teachers received packets (SMF questionnaires and SMF report form) -

 

Thank you so much for your attention to this. Please note - discard any reports that do NOT indicate military status.

Benefits Staff Meeting: November 5 at 8:00 AM

We will have a Staff Meeting on Monday, November 5 at 8:00 AM, for the purpose of being made aware of benefits offered to employees. I tried to schedule the meeting on a track in day, but was unsuccessful. If you are tracked out, no worries. I am working with the representatives to be available to meet with individual staff members later in the week or following week.
