The Friday Memo

Happy Friday!

Thanks for a great start to the school year! You have done an absolutely fantastic job of helping us set the tone for a successful year - now let's work hard to keep the momentum going!

Here are some general announcements:

1. Please remember that we should never dismiss students from a class before the bell rings. Please continue to make sure that your classes are supervised at all times.
2. Absence forms are available in the Copy Room. These must be turned in to my box when you are absent for any reason.
3. The deadline for PTO teacher requests is Friday, August 29. Please submit your request to Mr. Neu.
4. Please make sure that you are posting tests to the calendars in the teacher workroom. I will begin posting these to the parent blog next Friday.
5. Remember PTO Open House next Tuesday evening. This will be a good opportunity to explain your classroom management plan to parents.
6. Remember that we have a fire drill Monday morning. This will be the only announced fire drill of the year. It is important that you remind your students of all emergency procedures periodically throughout the year.
7. Remember that we have a Pep Rally next Thursday. Notice that we will be running a special pep rally schedule and not our typical activity schedule.
8. I understand that it is a bit of an inconvenience, but please make sure that your classroom doors are closed and locked during the school day. The safety of our students needs to be our primary concern.

Kathy Pirtle has a quote on her classroom wall that is one of my favorite. Let's keep these words in mind as we approach our work each day:

"Nothing great was ever achieved without ENTHUSIASM!" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Have a GREAT Weekend!
