OPERATIONS
Uniforms
Thank
you fro taking the time to review uniforms with your students. It is
making a difference. If you have repeat offenders who you may send them
to the Office for used uniforms and we will send a letter home.
Daylight Saving Ends
Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 6. Enjoy the extra hour.
Field Trips and Special Events
This
is a busy week for field trips and special events. Please consult the
LS Year at Glance Calendar for details. Classroom teachers be sure to
communicate with specialists about any schedule changes.
Budget
David will be presenting the proposed LS budget for next year on Thursday. Thank you for all who have provided input.
4th and 5th Grade ERBs
4th
and 5th Grade students and teachers begin standardized ERB testing a
week from Monday. Non-standard, untimed testing, will be proctored by
Ari in the Science Discovery Room.
As
in the past, specialist teachers who teach 4th and 5th Grade students
will be asked to sign up for a 20-minute duty or two. Ari will post the
schedule on Monday.
Recess
breaks will happen from 9:10-9:30 Monday-Wednesday. Fifth Grade
teachers wondered if PE teachers could play organized games each day. It
is hard on students to not have PE for three consecutive days.
On
the late start Thursday the students will have a brief break from
9:50-10, obviously too short a time span for organized games.
Thanks, specialists, for filling in at recess!
Field Trips and Calendar
I
see a lot of upcoming field trips and special events coming up on the
calendar. Please be sure to notify specialists if you plan to be off
campus. Leadership Team reps, please be sure your grade’s calendar
entries are up to date on the Google calendar.
