The district inservice is planned for 7:30 – 9:30. Elementary teachers will have the rest of the morning as a workday. The elementary building portion of the inservice will be from 1:20 – 3:20. We have been planning the building portion of the January 17 Inservice. Several weeks ago, we sent out a technology survey that asked staff members what technology they are using and what technology elements they would like to learn more about at future inservices. At our planning session on Friday, we looked at those surveys and are planning to focus on those areas indicated on the surveys. There will be two sessions, with four options for each session. A GoogleDoc sign-up will be sent out this week.

Thank you to all staff for spending this past week reinforcing PBIS classroom, hallway, bathroom, playground, cafeteria and enter/ exit skills. It is very important that we start off the semester reminding students of our expectations. I was very impressed with student behavior as I observed them in the hallway and cafeteria this week. Please do not use gum as a PBIS reward – request from the custodians.

Please remind students and parents that they must always check in and out through the office. If a parent comes to your room to pick up a student, please refer them to the office to check-out their child. We have some students with limited or no contact with certain adults and must always know who is picking up a child. Please reinforce to students that they cannot alter their arrangements to leave the building without specific permission from a parent.
