Nightly News for May 4th

  • Tomorrow morning, we will kick off Teacher Appreciation with breakfast burritos and yogurt "sundaes". Breakfast will be ready to roll by 8:15 in the staff lounge. Drinks will not be provided. 
  • The building MAY be open on Sunday from 12:00-3:00. Originally, I had planned to be here to support Madagascar set building but am now leaving for a conference earlier than anticipated. Tino will be opening up the building. Staff is welcome to come work in rooms etc. Please enter through the front doors and avoid using any other exits etc. to ensure the building is properly secured.  Your badge will not work to enter the building BUT you are welcome to call the number posted on the door or people will be in the lobby/auditorium that can open the door for you. We do ask that you are out of the building no later than 2:50. Please note there is a possibility this may be postponed due to some other circumstances. I will email that information in the event we do need to cancel.
  • Another round of boxes arrived for packing up rooms. Instead of moving them into the custodial storage area we are going to leave them right outside of the office. Please feel free to take 1-5 boxes and labels. Please do not take more than five boxes to ensure everyone who needs them gets a few this round.  HP/ClarkMoveQ&A
  • We have book recycling headed to HP next week. This is for book recycling only. If you have outdated district books, books in disrepair, etc. you are welcome to use this dumpster. Valerie will be the expert on what goes into this dumpster. As you begin to purge you can make arrangements for the "whale" or other large recycling receptacles to be available in your room or area. Send this request to Tino and CC Shannon. 
  • The Safety Team discussed moving safety this morning. Please be sure to review the packing/moving instructions attached in the original email with the Nightly News link. Try to avoid packing exceptionally heavy boxes. If they are heavy, please label as such. As you begin packing, please make sure boxes are not stacked too high and will not tip over onto students etc. Keep the safety of students in mind. While we encourage you to get a move on this (literally) we also want to ensure we the classroom environment is still conducive to learning. There is a fine balance here. I will be giving some tips in the coming weeks! 
  • There is a new folder in the shared drive called Transition. This is where we are putting info on moves and other transition information.

Nightly News for Wednesday the 9th

Tomorrow is what may be our last Apple Harvest. This event begins at 5:00 and runs until 7:00. Valerie, Elin and Ron have spent time organizing and we are hoping for a great turn out. All staff are welcome to come and support!  We are looking for a paper cutter. Daniela currently has one in the art room that is hardly functioning. It needs to be retired. I am reaching out in hopes of finding one in the building that is stuffed in a closet or drawer somewhere and could be given to our art room for daily use before  we purchase a new one. Please let her, or me know if you have one you are willing to part with.  Just an FYI I was in meetings pretty much all day. I am behind in responding to emails and will work on this tomorrow as I can and over the weekend.
