Morning Minute for February 7th

  •  This week is National School Counselor Week. Thank you to Ruth & Michelle for their work with students. They were rewarded with a fantastic new Wellness Center. Kidding aside we are thankful for you both. 

  • A reminder to be vigilant about taking attendance. Our 10/10 rule should help ensure no students are out of class when you take attendance. We know the beginning of a term can present some shifts, but we are almost a week in and things should be settling down. Today we had a student who was marked out sick by the office for several days. They came today and were still marked absent as the parents didn't call to say they were returning. Their 6th-period teacher called to let Naima know they were actually here and asked for the ILL to be removed. This was not brought to attention until late in the day . I know it can slip by here and there, but we have to do our best at ensuring we are aware of who is and is not in class. 
  • Our para position will not be filled this year. The district has taken back this position. Just wanted to let everyone know.

  • There will be a Web Leader Check-in at lunches on the 14th and 19th. Web leaders will be out 5th period. More information to follow (names of students etc.) but wanted to give everyone a heads up in advance. 
  • A reminder that we have Instructional Rounds from 8:30-12 tomorrow. You may see adults out and about. They should have ID on. I will be focused on this for the duration. Spencer and Regina will be involved in parts of tomorrow's rounds.

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.
