{June 17 ~ Last Update}


{Last NOTES from the DUGOUT}
  • Office Closed:  I'm heading out of the office today but will bounce in and out all summer long. If you need me, text or email is probably best.  Hope everyone is enjoying a great summer. 
  • Working this Summer? If you come in during the summer to work in your room, just know that things left unmarked in the hallway are up for grabs and to leave notes on things you need help with or email me/custodians.  I will notify you as soon as I get word that your room has been cleaned.
  • NEW Math Curriculum, "Everyday Math" has been ordered and should be in by mid July. If you're ansy for your first teachers manual, email David Pickard and me and we'll see what we can do.
  • Reimbursement for Classroom Purchases:  Jodi asked me to remind you all that we can reimburse you for budgeted ($200 per teacher?) classroom purchases IF made after July 1.  Bottom line, don't shop until July 1.  Then save receipts and turn them in after August 10th (until next March 2017) and we'll get you reimbursed.
  • Staffing:  Ernest Sandeen and Victoria Pyle resigned from their positions.  At this time, we are watching numbers in 5th grade and aren't hiring yet.  Victoria's job we are interviewing for this week. 
Here are some documents you may find useful for the fall.  The Spanish times did change so be sure you take note of that.
