Morning Minute for October 11th

  • We had two 6th graders here today and both decided they wanted to go to ODS tomorrow. This is a win in my book!
  • Thank you Brenda for sharing Grade Guardian with the student support team. I am very intrigued by the information in provides. 
  • It was also reported to me that today we had NO tardies! What???? Nice work to everyone helping to get kids to class. 
  • We hope you found today's PD responsive to your needs and learning style. For those who chose the self paced option please be sure to complete slides by Friday.
  • Students are and will be coming around to ask for teacher nominations for student council. If a student asks you to give them a recommendation and you are comfortable doing so, please use this link to fill out a recommendation.
    Let Amanda Coggins or Dan Carpenter or know if you have questions.
  • Mascot update: We will have a good old fashioned paper/pencil vote through Advisory. Day TBD. Our five choices are: Goats, Phoenix, Panthers, Penguins, Dragons 
  • I know it is hard to think way off into December right now, BUT we are starting to plan for our Winter Carnival on December 15th. We will share out more information later, but for right now I would like to pitch an opportunity to build some staff camaraderie and at the same time entertain our students. Think of it...a real life Lyp Sync or Karaoke competition put on by HP's staff to be performed in front of our students on December 15th. Talk amongst yourselves. My dream would be to have performances by New Kids on the Block, Taylor Swift, and maybe even Michael Jackson.

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.
