Please get your quarterly award names to Karen Higgins so she can begin working on them.

Thanks for everyone who already responded to the 'Love the Bus' effort.
The calendar will only be up to date for about 2 weeks in advance during the winter months due to the possibility of bad weather.

Please email us with your favorite educator sites so we can create a huge selection of online resources.
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).
