I'm hunting squirrels

         So you may be wondering why I'm hunting squirrels.  We lost power three times in the past 5 days.  The second time was when the alarm people were here fixing the beeping noises.  The third time was Saturday afternoon when I was trying to catch up with everything.  The building died and my computer sounded like it was going to explode.  As I sat in the dark listening to all the beeping noises I decided it was time to hunt squirrels.  TECO keeps telling us squirrels are causing the outages.  I think not.  My hope and prayer is that we will have power and internet when we return tomorrow.  

Before I was put into the dark, I got together all the summer work for printing and posting to the website.  Everything looks good.  I will share the files with everyone and put into teacher share in the morning.  I was cut off before I could do that.  Please look it all over to make sure I got everything.     

Things to do this week for teachers (You will have everything you need from us during the day or at the faculty meeting tomorrow.  Some things you already have.):

Bring handbook suggestions to faculty meeting
Review report cards 
Student supply lists to Charles
Start packing and some teachers will start moving
If you have lots of extra tissues, consider sharing with media center
Clean, clean, clean - Charles will do the white glove check at checkout
Submit your own supply list
Complete textbook inventory
Complete FOSS replacement order
Fill out book replacement form for missing textbooks

Keep a vigilant watch over children, especially on the playground.  Teachers should be in very close proximity to students - close enough to hear conversations and monitor shapes they may be designing in the mulch - don't ask.  Also, for the middle school recess, someone needs to replace Jamie on the playground.  

Thank you to everyone who made graduation go smoothly.  It was a great ceremony and a fun after party.  

Have a great week!!

The Final Countdown

Three weeks to go!!  This means the end is almost here.  It also means things are about to get crazy around here.  Inventory, grades, orders, oh my!  But we can do it!

Charles will have inventory instructions and a demonstration on how to complete at our faculty meeting.  I have contracts ready and will start meeting with teachers this week to go over your summatives and sign the contracts.  I will not have addendums just yet.  We will sign those during post planning.

Thank you to everyone who made School Appreciation Week / Spirit Week fantastic.  All the doors looked great and the students showed lots of spirit.

You may want to start organizing your offices in the main building.  This summer EVERYTHING in your office must be put somewhere so the furniture can be removed to do the floors.  Nothing can be left on the bookshelves or on the floor.

End-of-year procedures and moving instructions will be given at the May 22 faculty meeting.

Happy Gaudete Sunday

 What is Gaudete Sunday?  The day when anyone can wear pink and it's cool.  It's also the Sunday we rejoice.  For two weeks, we have...
