Staff News November 1-5


I hope you enjoyed your short week.  I wanted to pass on a special thanks to all those who helped with ESL Night last week.  We had over 100 people in attendance.  I think our ESL parents are feeling increasingly comfortable in our school and participating in your classes.  Thank you for reaching out to them.

Thank you for your “Shop With A Cop” names.  Now would be a good time to begin listing names of students who may need help during the holiday season.  I typically have groups willing to help a certain number of families.  It is nice for me to have a list of students ready when groups come by for names.   I will try to keep a master list of students in order to prevent duplicates.  If you would please forward the names of any students who might need help this Christmas season to me for the master list it would be wonderful.

Special note: Jeanette Blackner will be teaching a garbage can safety course every Wednesday at 3:00 PM.  This will be for all those interested in garbage day safety procedures.  I understand that she will call it GDFSM (Garbage Day For Struggling Moms).  Please sign up in Mrs. Blackner’s room.  Feel free to ask her how she qualified to teach this course to see if you to qualify also.     

Thanks for all the wonderful work you do.  I feel we have the hardest working staff in the district.

Have a wonderful weekend.

I hope you all had a wonderful week.  

I wanted to pass on a special thanks to all those who have been waiting to excuse their class for the bell to ring at the end of the day.  The halls have been much better.

The District Data Fair will be held Oct. 26th from 3:30-5:00.  If you would please include this in your next news letter.  The data for our school is fantastic.  It shows how dedicated and able you are at what you do.  Before you continue reading, please stop and pat yourself on the back.  You could also give yourself a hug if you feel the need.  You could even hug someone else if you feel the need.  Bond with each other.

Thanks for all you do!
 Have a wonderful weekend!
