Well, here we go! Our students will be back with us on Monday. Wow! Kinda hard to imagine... I'm sure you're excited, and nervous, and scrambling to get all your last-minute things done.
Thanks for hanging-in through everything, all the looong, hot meetings, seemingly endless setup, and the inevitable, yet always somehow still unexpected chaos that must always occur the week before school starts.
Nevertheless, I hope you're able to get on top of things and find a few moments to relax over the weekend.
Just a few quick things today, for the good of the order:
Please turn in (if you haven't done so already):
- your recess schedules
- your classroom management plan
- your HQ form
- your professional expectations form
Please complete (if you haven't done so already):
- your committee assignments sign-up
On the first day of school, please:
- complete a roster of your students indicating how they get home; please include bus route number
- send home all those important forms, especially Free-and-Reduced Lunch
Please don't forget:
- kindergartners will eat lunch at 10:30 and dismiss at 11:30 on Monday, 12 Aug.
- everyone else is on our typical schedule Monday through Friday
- FACTS will henceforth be located in the portable classrooms
- PBS coupons! Please begin passing out a few each day beginning day-one
- We'll have an assembly in the Gym to kick-off PBS on Friday, 16 Aug.
- K-2 at 9:00
- 3-5 at 9:30
Please review:
- the new TPEC version 2.0 rubric
- We will discuss the rubric at our initial CT meetings the week of 19 Aug.
- the teacher AM/PM duty schedule
Last of all:
- We could still use just one more individual on the Thursday morning big-kids playground. Remember: if you take an additional duty you need sign-up for only one committee obligation. Not a bad deal, really. Please let me know if you're willing.
Please acknowledge that you read this post.
