LS Weekly Memo
Week 14: November 18-22
|
Thanks for your flexibility handling our surprise Spirit Day. It just might have helped spur the boys on to their state championship. Friday’s DEAR unassembled assembly was a delight. What a great way to start the day.
Our next assembly is not until Friday, January 17th. Between now and then we will gather for Grandparents Day and St.Nicks Chapel.
Thanksgiving Break is oh so close.

Afternoon Recess Coverage
McKenzie Lay, EC Teacher, is going to help out with recess duty coverage from 1:30 - 2:00 each day starting on Monday. With three people on duty we will be able to open the field for our enthusiastic soccer players. One person on duty will be on ACP, one on the field and one floating between the two depending on where the crowd is. We will keep this in place as long as there is interest in using the field.
PROGRAM
Curriculum Design
2nd and 5th grade teams worked with John Holloran to draft a curriculum design for a subject area. 1st and 4th are working with Jon on Wednesday. Know that other teams are welcome to use a half day to work on curriculum design plans.

We need to make final arrangements for this upcoming workshop. Please confirm that you are able to attend by clicking on the link below
LS Building
We will be discussing it at the Team Leader meeting on Monday. Get your questions or comments to Chris, Janet, Alysa or Debra or stop in David’ office.
OPERATIONS
Lower School Leadership Team, Rescheduled
We are not meeting on Monday, Dec. 2nd. Instead, we will celebrate the birth of Cora Haferbecker. We’ll gather instead on Monday, January 13th from 3:15-4:30 pm.
Scott House
Scott House doors should stay locked during the day due to limited supervision in the building.
Recess Communication About Students
Please use the new lsdivisiononly@oes.edu distribution list for communications to faculty about students.
Use the alllsfaculty@oes.edu distribution list for less sensitive information as it goes to other departments in addition to Lower School.
Bracelets
Bracelets are not part of the Uniform Policy, primarily for safety reasons. The looped rubber band bracelets that are suddenly so popular should not be worn at school.
Sweatshirts
Please remind your students that the uniform policy states that only solid navy blue or green sweatshirts may be worn to school. No OES Spirit Wear, except on designated days. Remember the steps to take?
- 1st Time- Friendly Reminder
- 2nd Time- Send student to used uniform closet for a loaner (returned at the end of the day)
- 3rd Time- Send an email to the parents
