Nightly News for April 11th

Substitute Office Resource for Classroom Educators

  • Be sure to turn in your extended hours and other payroll items to Shannon ASAP. She has to have everything done by Friday. 
  • As a reminder if you have students staying after school to work on projects, receive academic support etc. please be sure to let the office know. We do get calls from parents trying to track their kids down. In the same vein, if you are having students stay after school they need to remain with you and be handed off to parents/guardians or released at the predetermined time. Please be sure you are aware of their pickup plan and remain with them until pickup or until they have left the building.
  • If you are planning on field trips this would be a great thing to do! Anyone want to do Allergy/Epi-Pen training from the comfort of your home tomorrow at 4:00 pm? Sign up at the link below- you will become certified for 3 years and can be a big help to your school, especially on field trips. Thank you in advance!
