Happy New Year


It has been a wonderfully restful break for me and I hope also for you.  I was a little disappointed to not have the opportunity to catch up with more of you at the staff party, but we had a great time with those who came.  It was a comfortable evening inside the Foote shop.  Harold had started a fire in the morning and it was so toasty we had to open the doors for a bit.  Plenty of great food flooded bowls and plates.  We had a serious game of Poker taking place simultaneously with the Bunko tables.  Thank you Social Committee for your planning and set up.  Now to clean up the 100+ dice which has dumped out all over the back of my car!

This is our final week to prepare for the annual safety inspection.  With a new Inspector in charge it will be interesting to learn what catches his eye.  If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know as early this week as possible.  I have asked Darcy, Sandy and Adam to help with the preview and preparation but I need you to check your rooms and areas for things such as:
  • Check for daisy chaining.  We are not to plug one power strip into another.
  • Nothing is to be stored above cabinets, blocking flow of water down wall.
  • Extension cords can not be used on what appears to be a permanent basis
  • UNPLUG window conditioning units.
  • Clear space in front of heater closet doors (no desks, chairs, books...)
  • Friday, put away anything that you use to block your doors open (blocks, door stops, bricks)
  • Tall bookshelves should be secured to wall.

I still need a class or grade level to do a skit, quote a poem, sing a song or do a Readers Theater for cooperation at Friday's assembly!!!!!
Let me know if you have any special recognitions to give your students. 
These could also be awards or achievements they made outside of school.
PTA is looking for volunteers to help with Dads & Donuts. If you are willing to come @ 7AM and help out on January 18th please let me know. Also, PTA has a new Face Book page in which to post their information. They would love for you to join them on FB if you have an account. Just reminder to follow District policy. Thank you Jayna, April, Stephanie & Stephanie for already connecting.
