Morning Minute for October 20th

  • We have several people out tomorrow and as of 4:30 two unfilled positions. Please hold tight to your classroom routines and avoid sending students to Buddy Classrooms if your Buddy has a substitute. Advisory partners be sure to check in with each other in the event the teacher of record is out.
  • I made the decision to not go outside after the earthquake drill at the last minute. The announcement on the VOIP system is much more comprehensive than it was last year (or at least I was able to follow it this year). There is some conflicting information around exiting etc. as it is highly dependent on the situation and structure. For today I felt it was less disruptive and would allow learning to continue if we opted to remain in the building.
  • There were several situations across the building today where students were locked out or unable to use their Chromebooks for learning. Information was sent out yesterday in regards to this. Brenda held a session today after school, and will hold another Friday morning @ 8:30 in Room 136 (Conni's Room). This is in regards to Securely.

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.

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.
