{July Update ~ July 27th}
{...from the DUGOUT}
- I'm not quite ready to mail out your 'back to school letters' (might be due to no printing and internet at school yet), nor release our new blog (or theme) so figured I'd share some basics here as some of you are thinking about school... You should have a letter in the mail by August 10th.
- Taste of McCall is coming up, August 6th from 12-3:00 PM. It is a fundraiser for MDEF who give our kids amazing education and enrichment opportunities. I bought my ticket and hope to see some teachers there too! There will be vendor samplings of food, wine, beer, cider and of course a silent auction and music too! Buy your tickets at: tasteofmccall.com ($50.00)
- Rafting Trip (note the date change to Monday, August 15th): Ryan Aronson set up a great Facebook group to communicate details so check that out or get in touch with Ryan for more information.
- Office Closed through August 15th (although Jodi will be working August 8 & 9)
- Cleaning: All classrooms are fully cleaned and ready to decorate/move into. If you are waiting for keys, email Jeff Tangen and me and we'll see if we can figure out how to get keys to you.
- NEW Math Curriculum, Your materials have been delivered to your rooms and can be unpacked and organized.
- Staffing Update: Congrats to Karen Lannom who was hired to replace Victoria Pyle. Karen also committed to be our PTA President this year so she will be super busy but great to have her on our team. The district hired an OT (Occupational Therapist) as well, and we'll get to welcome Steven Keaveny to our staff. We are still looking for two part time para's to help with small group interventions Mondays-Thursdays. Please have any interested folks email me.
- Internet/Printing/Phones: These are all still not up and running yet at school. The new copies machines are in but are only set up for copying at this time (no codes needed). We will teach you how to use the copiers for printing from your computer, scanning, and more at back to school time. There is only a small amount of paper left from year end until we return on August 15th so if it can wait, save it. Same for lamination. We will order more and have it by the 15th.
- Custodians: The district team is still working together on projects and not on a regular schedule yet. I will share schedules of when we will have regular custodians back in the building as soon as I know and who will be where.
