More coupons have arrived. Please make sure to watch the pads. We’ve been getting reports about students taking coupons. I sent out a sheet with lots of reward suggestions. I am very impressed with how much better students are coming the building. I see students holding up a zero to show other students that they should be at voice volume zero in the hallway. Keep reinforcing that – it is working!

I happened to be in the nurses office during a recent afternoon recess and students were streaming in with various injuries. One student went home with a possible broken arm and several students came in reporting head injuries. **Please be vigilant in supervising students out on the playground.** We should not be seeing these type of injuries on a regular basis. One teacher should be on the playground a supervising students on the swings and equipment. One person should be on the blacktop. If students are on the field, we should have a supervisor stationed where they can physically see all the students.

Remember to talk to students and parents about our Healthy Halloween.
