Staff Newsletter
Apr. 8-12


I hope this has been a wonderful week for each of you.  It is hard to believe that we are already approaching the second week in April.  Thank you for all of your hard work and positive attitudes so far this year.  As I have been around trying to finish up evaluations, I have appreciated the vast majority of you posting your objectives on the board.  Beyond being a good thing for the class, it helps me to make the connection on the curriculum portion of the evaluation and what is being covered in class.  You all do such an incredible job teaching.  Thank you.

Just a reminder that as 3-5 grades spend more time in the computer labs preparing for CRTs there will be fewer time slots available.  If you are a 3-5 grade class, if you would please block the times in the lab that you will need on the schedule so the k-2 teachers can continue to use the lab during the open times.

As many of you are already aware, we will be losing a few more members of our staff.  Mrs. Torres will be staying home to be mom next year and Mrs. Allen will be moving to a 3rd grade teaching position at North Elementary.  As we already know, Mrs. Bess will be on the retirement track, however, she did mention to me that she would be available to volunteer for bus duty during the months of January and February.  Just call her before 6:30 AM if you would like her to take your bus duty.  Mrs. Torres indicated that she would be happy to be a faculty meeting proxy for anyone who could afford to pay her.  I will miss those who will not be returning next year.  I’m sure we will be prepared to send them out with a bang.

*In your next newsletter please include Dads and Donuts on the 19th at 8:20 in the gym.  If you would also include that teacher requests will be due by May 1st.  The forms can be found in the office and on the school website.  Please indicate in your letter that the office does not encourage requests, but they are available for situations that parents feel would require additional considerations while placing students.

Have a fantastic weekend!!
