Week two will be a shorter week of course with Independence Day on the horizon. We will have no school on Friday the 3rd in commemoration.
Supplies:
I have only received one order and a couple requests with a twist from teachers for supplies. I asked on the last Blog for you to send me and/or Sheri Lynch an email with what you want via the on-line Palace Arts catalog. It will be a day or two turn-around.
Well, we are closer to the attendance being worked out but there are still a couple bugs in the system... It looks like some of us have period attendance, but others have only day by day...
So.... Please email me so that I can know who has which format in ABI! If you only have the day by day, please keep a separate tally of tardies so that we can keep track and then notify students when they are near the absence cutoff. In order to do this... please email Sylvia your tardies and periods absent (and who the student is of course...) by the end of Monday... we need last week's running totals. Thank you!
And to that point. The first day of school, Friday the 19th I am not going to count as an absence. There were quite a few students/parents who did not receive notification that school started on Friday the 19th via a sign-up note or were given wrong information.
There are three students who were given "special dispensation" either from me or the District to be able to miss more than 2 days and student and teachers are notified of this. Other than the students with the special dispensation, all other students will be held to the "you only get two absences per semester" rule starting last Monday the 22nd. Hopefully this makes sense...
Apex and Elevate have a slightly different process and we are keeping tabs on these students.
Events, of sort...
We will be having a fire drill this week, Thursday afternoon at 12:15 pm
... So once we all get back from lunch, and you have taken roll and know who that all are present... we will let er' rip! So, 12:15 pm Thursday July 2nd will be a fire drill.
Is the use of the Library Computer Lab going okay? Remember to sign in ahead of time so there aren't any
uncomfortable moments....
