The next two weeks are going to be very busy. Here are a few items to put on your calendar, but are subject to change. The calendar tab on the staff blog has a staff calendar, same as last year. This is a great resource during the school year.

Please continue to email a picture from your summer, sharpening the saw. I am putting together a staff video. This includes all staff, not just certified. I love the pictures I have received so far.

The welcome letter to families will be going in the mail, and it is on the school website. Here is the letter for you to read as well.

Welcome Letter

August 11th, 2014- School Office Opens- This will be in Room #15 right by the office. Linda is all set up in that room, with even a copier machine. When summer school ends, Linda will be back in the front office. Please help families feel welcomed as you see them registering and visiting our school.

August 13th, 2014- Last Day of summer school. You should be able to get into your classrooms on Thursday the 14th. Please let me know if we need to replace, fix, or find anything.

August 15th, 2014- New teacher orientation.

August 16th, 2014- School Beautification Project- With the Leader in Me program, we will be meeting to paint and complete other projects around the school. 

August 18th-19th- Reading and Assessment Training for Certified Staff- Plan on starting at 8:30 am. I have emailed the buildings for each grade level, but please email if you have questions. We have only received second and fourth grade reading materials, but we will let you know as soon as we receive the rest.

August 20th, 2014- Opening Program 8:30 am, at Roper.

August 20th, 2014- 12:30 PM is classified training at Roper. This is for every classified staff member.

August 20th, 2014- Staff Retreat for certified. We will be in the library and plan on starting at 1pm. Agenda includes an assortment of housekeeping items, IRI data, update on all of our grants, Leader in Me update, teacher evaluation form and cover sheet, classroom management and discipline review, and a few other items that may be added if time allows. Please bring your iPad or paper/pen to take notes. We have some teachers sharing and contributing, so it should be a great collaborative retreat to get us excited and ready for the upcoming school year.

August 21st, 2014- Preschool classified staff meeting- I will be going over housekeeping items, and Linda has a few refreshers as well. We will start at 8:30 am, and plan on about 45 minutes or so. All preschool staff who are on contract, but not certified, this is for you. We miss meeting with you because the staff retreat is for certified on the 20th, and my goal this year is to check in with you once a quarter.

August 21st, 2014- Teacher workday in your own classroom

August 21st, 2014- Open House 5:00-6:30- Class lists are posted at Open House.

August 22nd, 2014- Teacher workday in your own classroom

August 25th, 2014- First Day of School. Breakfast at 8am and bell rings at 8:40. Free lunch for all students this year. Cold lunch students still pay for milk. Students need to take the whole meal for it to be free. Adults still pay for breakfast and lunch.

August 26th, 2014- All classified staff meeting- This is not for preschool, because we meet on the 21st. This is for classified staff from areas such as resource, ESL, and Title 1. Goal is to meet once a quarter with you. Plan on starting at 8:30, for about 45 minutes or so. I have a few items, and Linda as well.

Please sign up for a time that I can read and visit with your class during the first days of school. You get 20 minutes, and I take your class. This includes all 6 rooms at the preschool and the prc classroom.
