Great Start-We did it! We did it! (I know...pretty sad when you start acting and sounding like a 3 year old and DORA!) We had a wonderful start to the school year last week. I want to thank everyone for all of their help with bus duty, car duty and in the lunchroom. I am confident this will be a PEACEful year.
Schedule-I have added the new duty schedule on our Resources page. Calendar-I have added several new things to our WS staff calendar. Please make sure you take a look at the upcoming events. (ex. writing prompts, DRA, TPA, WOW, Grandparents Tea...) If you have something that you would like for me to add, let me know. Monday Meeting-There will be a meeting for certified staff in the library at 3:30 this afternoon. We will be discussing our new summative teacher evaluation and professional development plans. Tuesday Grade Level Meetings-We will begin grade level meetings tomorrow in Linda's room. Our topic for instruction will be Google Apps, email and setting up the walk-through form for teacher evaluations. Below are the times for each group. 9:00 Special Class Teachers 9:55 2nd Grade & Diana Thompson 10:50 3rd Grade & Mary Swann 11:45 4th Grade, Kathy Davis & Lisa Thomson 1:25 Kindergarten & Anita Yates 2:20 1st Grade & Leslie Arnold Leadership Team-Below is a copy of our Leadership Team Agenda/Minutes from Tuesday, August 9th Class Lists-Our office staff has been BUSY updating, dropping, and adding names to class lists. Students who owe lunch money have been added to your lists at this time. As you know, these lists are NEVER final. Please continue to look at SISK12 for updates to your class roster. Picture-Please wear casual attire for our school staff picture on Monday morning at 8:30! Meet the Teacher Night-We are working on compiling the paperwork for you to hand out at Meet the Teacher Night. We will deliver these to you on Monday. Student Handbook-This year I am NOT copying student handbooks for parents. I have added the new handbook to our school website. You might want to link it on your classroom blog also. Please direct parents to this link on Meet the Teacher Night. If they want a hard copy, we will have a few in the office. Class Lists-We will be posting class lists and mailing letters to students today! We have assigned teachers to students and you should be able to access your class list through SISK12. However, there are a few students who have not been assigned to classes at this time. The Board of Education has approved a new lunch charge procedure for this year. Students (about 10 at WS) who owe $10 or more will not be assigned to class lists or receive a letter from their teacher at this time. I will email you a list of those students. The district is trying to recoup some of the $1000's of dollars for outstanding lunch bills. This is one way for us to collect. The office will be assigning these students to your lists again next week. Just be aware that their might be a few who didn't receive your letter.
BEGINNING OF THE YEAR LETTER TO WILLARD SOUTH ELEMENTARY FACULTY AND STAFF Computer Stations-Teacher stations are updated and are ready for you to pick them up in the library. Student stations are NOT ready and will be delivered when updates have been made. If you have any computer needs, please submit a work order. DO NOT EMAIL OUR TECH DEPARTMENT or CALL THEM ON THEIR CELL PHONE! I know that Matt Young is really nice, sweet, patient, hard working, and sooooooooooooooooo much more. However, he does not have time to respond to all of the emails and calls. The work order system is there for you to utilize and it also helps the Technology Department track all of our needs. THANKS!!!

Leadership Team Meeting (see agenda/minutes below) We had a great meeting and made some decisions regarding our Tiger Pride Assemblies. Next Tuesday, we will be reviewing the 90-90-90 study, MAP data and setting building goals for this year. |
