Morning Minute for September 20th

  • Here is a link to the slides for tomorrow's Lock Down Drill. Please take a moment to review them prior to presenting them to students. Please take attendance first thing during 2nd period and then go into the the slides. We anticipate that the drill will begin at 10:15 and be completed by 10:25 or so. Some classes may feel the need to debrief after the drill. Please take this time if it is needed text or call the office if you are in need of support with any students or just need someone to help with this process. Lock Down Slides. Finally, we will be scheduling drills so they take place during each period throughout the year and one is not more impacted. 
  • 6th Grade Advisory Pairs attached is the master list of 6th graders and what teacher/camp they are attending. It was brought to my attention that this list may not be completely updated. If you are aware that students have indeed turned in their forms feel free to note that on this list. Advisory teachers may want to check in with highlighted students tomorrow and adjust their list accordingly. Our hope is that Advisory Pairs can work through making calls by Monday of next week. Forms are technically due on Thursday, but we want to get as many students signed up as possible and feel allowances will be made.  ODS Lists
  • We will have Leadership students deliver permission forms to 7th period teachers (for 6th graders) tomorrow. 7th period teachers please hand them out to 6th graders before the end of the period. Students will turn the form in as they come into the mixer on Friday. Please tell them to hold on to their forms until then. This information will be shared with parents. 
  • Linked is information about the charge of all our school committees Committee Info. We are still looking for a few PAT and PFSP staff members for committees. We need: 2 PAT members on Climate, 1 PAT member on Safety, at least one PAT member for SIT, and people interested in forming an Equity Committee. 
  • We have a bout 16 sleeping bags that need to be washed before we use them again this year for Outdoor School. If you are willing to take a bag home to launder it please let Leah know. 
  • Way back when we were at the lovely Edgefield Campus we discussed Break Spaces and Buddy Partners. Both of these are Tier 1 Interventions that need to be in place for our students. Please take a few minutes this week to ensure you have these in place. We will be delivering some items for said break space and doing a check in next week. Also, if you have this set up and would like to share your success please let Leah know. 
  • Mid term grades are due the 28th (next Thursday).
  • Students will be viewing Screenagers the first week in October. This will take place during 4th (6th grade) and 5th (7th/8th) periods. It will take one day of instructional time but you will be given time back. More details to come. We just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

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.
