The final countdown to summer break! I know this time of year gets REALLY crazy. Students are out of a routine, we do lots of extra activities, and things can get a little out of control. Hang in there, be patient, consistent and enjoy the last few moments with your class. This is a time when we can get caught up on wanting things to end and we forget to enjoy the small moments. So...enjoy each moment because you can't get them back. Monday Mtg-We will be meeting in the library at 3:20 to announce the Teacher and Staff Member of the Year along with farewells to those who are moving on. This should only take a few minutes before we celebrate with a baby shower for Stephanie Walters at 3:30. Check Out-I have placed boxes in the office conference room for you to add your plan books, check out sheet and grade cards of students who owe money. You can place these in the office anytime this week. Technology-I will also have a cart in MY office for you to add iPads, laptops, Acer tablets...You are more than welcome to take home your computer and one iPad this summer. However, if you choose not to take these home I will be collecting them and storing them for the summer. Please make sure you check with me before you put these on the cart. I want to take inventory as they are collected. :) Tiger Pride Assembly-We will have our last Tiger Pride Assembly on Tuesday at 2:30. Please enter your Most Valuable Tiger by the end of the day on Monday. Golden Tray winners will receive ice cream sandwiches on Wednesday and MVT luncheon will be Thursday from 11:30-1:00. Friday-We will use our 1/2 day schedule. After students are dismissed at 12:30, everyone needs to head over to the HS for our end of the year lunch. You need to be there no later than 1:00. Instructional Excellence-Your plans are due to me no later than Friday, May 17th. Logging Hours-You will be required to log an additional day this year due to snow days. You can log these starting next week. Here is a form to record and submit your hours. End of the Year Checkout-I will place your end of the year checkout sheet in your mailboxes this afternoon. You will not officially check out with me this year. You will just be required to complete all of the items on the checklist and turn in the required paperwork in the office conference room. Here is a copy also! DRA-Just a reminder that all DRA scores are due by May 17th. Please fill out the DRA spreadsheet on the G:Drive. I need all below basic student names by this Friday, May 10th. We will have to send home the require summer school letter and registration form. Class Lists for Next Year-Please work with your grade level and begin making class lists for next year. I will need these by May 24th. Here is a copy of the form to use. Leave Requests-This time of year gets to be pretty busy on the sub calendar. Please remember that our Board of Education Policy states no personal leave requests during the last week of school. Your personal days will roll over to sick days if they are not used.
