Email ~ "Reply ALL/cc":  As a training/learning opportunity, please remember a good rule of thumb when you get a big email from the district, do not 'reply all'; but instead reply to just the sender.  If you are sent a 'cc' email, it is generally meant as a 'For your information' but not intended for a response.

January 1:  Check out our new website after the new year and your new website.  Adjust as needed.

Christmas Break Wishes before you leave:  Help students with a purposeful walk to the Lost & Found, clean out refrigerators, classrooms should be picked up to be cleaned, and help tidy up lounge and work room ~ and most importantly, enjoy your break with your loved ones and don't work!  If there are any specific cleaning or fixing requests for your classroom, please submit to School Dude. Our back doors are not working with the computer timer to open during recess times and Maintenance will work on that again over break.  We are striving to keep the inside corridor doors closed all the time as a way to help keep our heat inside.

{Future Events}

Jan. 14:  Fantasy & a 3D Form Art (2nd Annual MDSD Art):  Deadline for submissions January 14, 2016. Teachers may submit up to 2 student works to represent the class.  Deliver to Kim Hamilton.
