Morning Minute for September 29th

  • I wanted to update everyone on next week's original plans to show Screenagers during 4th period (6th) and 5th period (7th/8th). We know there is a lot going on and decided to slow down on this a bit to allow time for the counselors to provide some frontloading. Just wanted to communicate out for planning purposes. We will have normal advisory next week. 
  • If you are like me you plan your week on the weekends. I would like to hold a pot luck brunch for our PD on late start this Wednesday. No one is obligated to bring anything, but I think it will be a fantastic way to start our PD. 
  • Classroom teachers: If you were unable to attend, it is very important that you have your Securly set up to automatically start by this Friday. 

  • Block List: Search the block list directory for "Blocked Sites."  This is Elin's block list and is pretty comprehensive,
  • Scheduled Times: Be sure to use the times in THIS DOCUMENT when setting up your Securly classes. This ensures that classes do not overlap and that all school times are covered.
  • Other info: Here is a slideshow that the Learning Technology Department used in an after school training. (You do not get hours in Pepper for reading it haha)
  • Just an FYI we are hosting visitors from Taipei next Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday they will be in Bee and Kojo's classrooms. Wednesday afternoon they will be in other classrooms. I will share out more specific information on this Sunday or Monday.

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.

Nightly News for November 1st

Please note that Shannon, or I,  cannot use the P-Card to make purchases on anyone's personal accounts. For example if you wanted to order something from Home Depot we could not have you send us your link and pay for it using the P-Card. All purchases have to be made on a Harrison Parks specific account OR the employee can pay for it and be reimbursed .   MS Arts Performance 3-5 Assembly 2:30-3:00 tomorrow. Be sure to review the expectations. As a reminder Emily is out tomorrow.

Thank you Zach for your excellent heads up.  We have our 6th Grade Mixer today (Friday) from 4:00-5:00. We are unable to offer extended pay, but I am sure if you stay to support you will have plenty of fodder for the weekend. I love Middle School socials.
