Morning Minute for October 4th

  • A reminder that we will begin tomorrow morning at 8:15 in the cafeteria. People are welcome to come empty handed, or with something to share. Plates, bowls, and utensils will be provided. Weird ask, but if you have a chair that would be great...we don't have any in the cafeteria and the tables won't be great for our activities. We can grab some from the library too! No need to bring a device. 
  • We are getting closer but we are going to have kids who need to finish up testing do so tomorrow during 5th and 6th period. Students will report to 5th period and teachers should mark them present. They will then head to the cafeteria to test. In the event they run into 6th period, Naima will take care of the absence. Theresa will email 5th period teachers with a list of who to send. 
  •  YEP (Youth Empowerment  Program, https://www.yeppnw.org/) Groups will start next week. Kim will be here to support, but will not be leading a group this year. Students participating in YEP groups will leave their 4th period Advisory (6th grade) or 5th period Advisory (7th/8th grade), go to the lunchroom and eat lunch and will then head to their group. Groups will run during lunches so students do not miss instructional time. Rhybon will meet with the male identifying groups on Wednesdays and Kim/Priscilla will meet with female identifying groups on Fridays. Those identifying as non binary will be able to chose which day they attend. Students will get a pass to leave class and get their lunch. They should be on time to class after their session ends. We will send out lists of students once they become available. 
  • Here is a link to information around trainings next Friday. October 13th

  • Schoolhouse Supplies secured sponsors, procured supplies and worked with over 200 volunteers to prepare supplies for your school. Now we need to plan for next year and would love to hear feedback from you and your staff. 

     

    Please take a moment to participate in a short survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JTBCLPD

     

    As an incentive, the school that has the most teachers and staff complete the survey by Wednesday October 11th will receive ten $5 Starbucks gift cards!

     

    We would also greatly appreciate any student thank you messages and artwork. We share these with funders and they encourage future investment.   

     

    Here is a link to information about the Free Store for Teachers – an amazing resource! As you know, your schools are eligible to participate.

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.
