Weekly Update

Team,

There is no video message this week. 

Need-to-know: 

• Great work with the evacuation. In the event that you are assigned to a class that is not "your" assigned class, and we are in a location other than the classroom you work in, please bring the roster with you. This will help with attendance. 
• Fire Inspection on the 15th. We will be getting a list soon of corrections we need to make prior to the 15th, and Mike will be coming around to let you know if it pertains to your space. Please know he is not intentionally trying to be the Grinch that stole Christmas! We appreciate your hard work, Mike! 
• On 12/23 we will have a modified special schedule day.  If you typically have a double special on that day, coverage will be provided to give you the additional twenty minutes (the additional twenty minute time slot will be shared when we are closer to the day). Special areas are ending the dance planner with fun and celebration--kudos! 9-10 North Pole classes: Yensan, B. Jones, C. Jones, Firkins, Lippincott, Gibbs, Tracey     10:15-11:15  Equator classes: DiBattisto, Langswager, Monfiletto, PJ, Elias, Moore, Francesca, Velyk   1:20-2:20 South Pole classes: Strecker, Stanford, Tomszak, Booth, Pierri, Carpenter, Butlin
• Joy Shop is next Thursday and Friday. 
• SIT is challenging all of us to cross-school connection. Near the mailboxes you will find cards. Fill one out for a colleague that you don't typically connect with. Once you have done that, add your name in the box EACH time you write a card. At the end of the month we will select a winner who will win $50 to spend on classroom goodies.
• We have a variety of morning procedures, and some poles are meetings once a week, some twice. We are not doing a school-wide meetings. Because of this, we have not had a consistent process as a school for saying the pledge. If you do not already do so, please be sure you are adding a class-wide pledge to your morning procedures.
