September 17, 2014




Welcome to the Speas Global Elementary Blog!
All staff members, let's make sure we are teaching, reteaching, and teaching again the procedures in the common areas (Hallway, Cafeteria, Bathrooms, Playground, Bus).  We should be giving out lots of Bee's for students demonstrating the basic expectations.  It is a good idea to review the procedures before you leave one area to travel to another area.  



Happy Constitution Day!!!!!




It's nice to see our 3rd graders learning about representative government.  Mrs. Simmon's students running for class rep.

Announcements

Dress Down Day is Friday.  Students must pay $1 to dress down.  They can pre-pay or they can pay Friday morning.  A no-dress down list will be sent out by Thursday AM.  

Mrs. Merrill has made it easy for your class to vote for Specials Bee Incentives.  There is a Smart file on the S drive under PBIS/Specials Bee Incentive Vote 2014.  Just drag that file onto your desktop, open and use.  

Our PTA Yard Sale is this Saturday.  Tables are still available if you know anyone who wants to sell, or are interested yourself, please see SR.  

All staff members, let's make sure we are teaching, reteaching, and teaching again the procedures in the common areas (Hallway, Cafeteria, Bathrooms, Playground, Bus).  We should be giving out lots of Bee's for students demonstrating the basic expectations.  It is a good idea to review the procedures before you leave one area to travel to another area.  

SMOD Tickets (dress code violations) are located in the workroom.  Please keep the bottom portion for your own records as a way to keep track of the number of violations.  The continuum is as follows:

1st offense: verbal warning, and letter will be sent home to be signed.  Parent or guardian notified of violation

2nd offense: Teacher notifies parent or guardian and student is removed from class until proper SMOD is delivered.

(Teachers, we all should be enforcing this, it will only work if we all enforce it).

Grade levels, please email Johnson with dates, times, and locations for all Field Trips by Monday, September 15th.  Thank you.

PDP's should be completed by the end of September.
