....here we go! This certainly was not how I planned to start the year, but this school is always full of surprises. It keeps us on our toes and ready for any situation. Thank you all for helping with the decision on Friday and for being flexible. Of course, I was contacted at 1:30 p.m. on Friday with a message saying TECO came and sprinkled some magic dust, and everything was fixed. It was frustrating, but you can't predict how things will go. You may have all seen my email yesterday to parents/staff, but here are some reminders about tomorrow:
- No carline. Coach Green will be out in the parking lot, saving lives and giving dog treats while all parents park and walk their students to class. All gates and breezeway doors should be propped open at 7:30 and closed at 8:30. Parents may also enter through the front door. PK will need to keep the gate open and have someone supervise the playground area (Sue or Teresa) until it is closed.
- Make sure everyone has a lunch. If someone does not, let the office know or tell their parents if they are still there.
- Take attendance at 8:30 after we close up the building.
- 8A has PE first period. Coach Green will come at 8 am to supervise 8A.
- 1st grade could probably go to art at 8:30. Teachers should talk.
- All other encore classes on Monday will take place as scheduled.
- The Scouts representatives may be coming into your classrooms Monday afternoon after lunch for a brief 5-10 presentation about Scouting. I have not gotten confirmation about this. If they do not come, it may be another day. Please welcome them into your classroom.
- House sorting ceremony for middle school is at 11:15 in the church. Teachers should bring something to write the students' names as they get sorted to update the roster. Students may be sitting by House for lunch (if that is what we decided).
Things I forgot to tell you:
- We have a new security officer who I assume will be here tomorrow, Officer Delano Bryan.
- Some heard this, but not all. All teachers/staff are allowed to wear jeans on Fridays IF they pay $25 (give to Karen P or ask her to take it out of your paycheck) AND wear the school navy polo or any other spirit shirt with the jeans. The $25 goes towards celebrations and keeps the lounge stocked with coffee.
- PK and K will dismiss through the breezeway and playground gate at noon on Monday.
Finally, I will have all the schedules updated tonight with the new employee names and the updated PK schedule. Please welcome the new employees who are starting tomorrow that most have not met, Elizabeth Kemp is the Instructional Assistant for 3rd grade and Carmen Diaz who will be in Kindergarten in the afternoons and Extended Day. We also welcome Emily Baldonado who will start later in the week. She will be in PK 4 in the afternoon and in Extended day.
Lastly, (which comes after finally) I was in the school today and not all the fobs were working. Your classroom key should open the exterior doors. If it doesn't, be sure to see me at some point for a new key.
