We now have log in information for substitutes so that they can operate your audio visual equipment without your passwords.  When they log in they will have access to one folder on the t:drive titled subshare.  You may place lesson plans or information to your substitute in this folder.  You can make a folder with your name within the sub folder.  Substitutes will NOT be able to access documents on your "desktop".  When they log out, DeepFreeze will clear their information and restore your pc the next time you log in.  Lisa will give them the log in information when they sign in each morning.  Please be sure that you do not include your personal passwords in your notes to substitutes.

From our lovely librarian - Our Book Fair profit was $ 1624.32. That gave our school about 600 scholastic dollars to spend for books. Linda purchased 14 books directly from the fair and have about $400 left to spend. With Grandparent donations, Linda purchased 60 books which are currently in circulation.

Thank you for your efforts on locking things down this week. I have received many great questions and problem solving conversations.  We don't have all the answers but I think as a staff we are a little more prepared than a week ago.  When we do our lock down drill, remind the students that it is a drill, a chance to practice.  From that I would expect a few more questions or concerns to be generated. Thank you for preparing your students in such a calm manner.

It is November and our annual safety inspection should be just around the corner.  I have not received a firm date but it is usually the week of Thanksgiving.  Please begin to check your rooms for general concerns; No daisy chaining, nothing stored on top of closets or tall shelves, tall bookshelves should be secured to the wall, furnace room doors should not be blocked, clear path of egress, and of course the biggy.....no door stops.  We will worry about the door stops as it gets closer.  Let me know if you observe issues that need addressing prior to inspection.
