Announcements:
Sad News: Please keep Gina Faragher and Dalida Uzcategui in your thoughts and prayers. They have both lost family members over the weekend.
This is Love the Bus Week. We want to make sure each driver gets something. So I am asking classes that made goodies and cards to leave them in my office so that we can divide them equally, or as equally as we can. I will have the students deliver the items to their drivers.
The IC team will be here on Tuesday doing walkthroughs. Early release day is Wednesday.
The Art's Council Campaign is now open. Please donate. Ash is giving out a jeans coupon to anyone who donates $20 or more. The link for donating is below:

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).
