Welcome to Spirit Week! ..... and hopefully the Book Fair. We are expecting it to arrive on Tuesday and will have Donuts with Dad on Wednesday and Thursday if all goes according to plan. Irma is the Hurricane that just keeps on giving. During Spirit Week, everyone is welcome to join in with dressing up and showing their spirit. I will not be participating in Wacky Wednesday as I am hosting a Hillsborough County Principal's meeting in the FLC that morning. Somehow it just doesn't seem appropriate for me to show up in my PJs and fuzzy slippers. Remember to check Tidbits to see what is happening this week. I've been getting some of your plans for Grandparents' Day and it looks like it will be a good day for all. Be sure to send you plans to me by tomorrow. Grandparents will be able to sign out their grandchildren starting at 11:30 to take them to the Kona Ice Truck. We will have a sign-out roster in your rooms. This will only be necessary until 12 noon. Be sure that the person taking the child has a "Grandparent" sticker on.
Students should be back on track with turning in work this week and by Friday everyone should be up-to-date. We are almost half-way through the Trimester and you should be contacting parents if a child has a D or F in your class. Also contact them if ATL or Conduct is falling below a 3. Do not let there be any surprises on the report card. At our next faculty meeting we will go over RenWeb and where and how to put things there. As in the past, parents should have access to major assignments, rubrics, due dates, test dates, etc. beyond the Student Planner. The more information you can provide, the fewer emails you will get.
Marvelous Mustang is next week. Christine is in charge and you will need to be ready to get names to her this week. Remember that this year we are focusing on students who are "Making It Happen!" Also, once you have chosen a student, it is your responsibility (not the homeroom teacher) to invite parents to school that day for the Mustang Breakfast.
Final reminder - no Mass on Wednesday. Mass on Friday. For everyone's sanity and safety, students will sit with their class and will return to their class with the teacher. Grandparents can sit near by and walk back with you or drive over after Mass. Grandparents will need to sign in at the front entrance or in the Breezeway. Homeroom parents are responsible for arranging breakfast treats. Like last year, I am asking that everyone park in the FLC parking lot on Wednesday to leave more room for Grandparents in the school parking lot. Thank you!!
