Today is Day 3.

SIT Members, please remember there is a SIT meeting scheduled for today.  2:45 in the Art Room. 

Progress Reports go home tomorrow 1/8/13.

We are no longer using the Orange Bees.  Please use the Blue Bee's for the next  incentives.  

Teachers: Please remember that we are responsible for our students' safety.  Please make sure car rider staff is in place before sending students outside.  The bell is not the signal for releasing car riders.  Teachers should always check to make sure there is someone there to receive the students before sending students out.  

Welcome Mrs. Gerald.  Mrs. Gerald is a PRT that will be working with our 1st and 3rd graders.  If you see her in the hallway, please give her a warm welcome. 

Check out our new umbrellas.  We want our wonderful car duty/bus duty folks to stay dry in the rain/snow.  Thanks PTA!!!!  FYI- Each umbrella has been fitted with a tracking device.  :-)  Please do not try to take them home.  

Congratulations to Mrs. Woodson- Teacher of the Year and Mr. Dimov- Classified Staff Member of the Year.  Let's hope they don't get too full of themselves.  

Please spend the next days reviewing our PBIS procedures with your students.  Remember, that teaching and modeling expectations is critical to the PBIS process.  

Don't forget to follow Speas on Twitter to get updates and reminders.  

Gentle Reminders:

* When planning and executing field trip plans, please keep in mind that it is against policy to require parents to accompany students on trips.  We cannot exclude students from trips for behavior, or inability to pay.
