Good Monday Morning!

I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather we had this weekend!

Here are a couple of announcements as we begin our final week before Spring Break:

1. We will have a faculty meeting this afternoon in Whittington McLemore's room (right next door to Kathy Pirtle's room).  We will be learning how to use our Apple Mobile Laptop Carts and you will receive CEUs for attending.

2. 7th grade lesson plans are due by Friday.

3. Please remember that proactive communication is very important.  Grades should be updated on Edline the first and third Monday of each month.  If a student begins having academic difficulty, notify the parents and document your conversation.  Along the same line, please notify parents of any discipline problems you may encounter.

4. Please remember that we are moving toward conferencing as a team.  I am trying to discourage parental "drop-in" conferences.  This language will be in next year's handbook and we will make it a matter of practice throughout the middle school.  Conferences may be scheduled through the Guidance Center

I'm looking forward to seeing each of you at 3:40 today in Whittington's room!

Have a great day!
