I am finishing the May Newsletter. I sent each of you a GoogleDoc for you to write a brief summary of some of the highlights for this year. I know that you send out weekly notes, but this summary goes to all the parents, community members and School Board. I send it out in the newsletter, post it on the website during the summer and put it in the Bulldog Brief. Your summary would also be a good item for you to put on your grade level website link. So… please get it on the GoogleDoc by Tuesday of next week.

We have several large pallets of 8 by 11 construction paper. We need to use up this paper. Could you use the 8 by 11 paper instead of the 11 by 17 paper until some of it is gone. Let me know if that is a problem.

All teachers should email or contact Kelly with any cleaning or repair requests. Please cc me on those emails.

Kelly will have a list of items that should be done before teachers check out. These include checking student lockers and removing items from the bulletin board.

All field trips should be scheduled ASAP. Jerry has many athletic trips scheduled in May and would like to know any other field trips as soon as possible.

He who dares to teach never ceases to learn - John Cotton Dana (I have found this to be more and more true as I get older – I think that constantly teaching new things helps us to continue to be life-long learners)
