PTO Trashbags will be distributed October 9-10. This will be from 4-7 P.M. on Friday and 9-11 A.M. on Saturday at the white fair building.  A sign up will be placed in the lounge next week.  Please find a time.  Also, encourage students to turn in any sheets to the office ASAP!

Blood borne pathogens on-line training is due to Kathy this past Monday, September 21. Please forward them to her office at IPS.

REMINDER Data Needed - Sometime next week, please provide me with a breakdown of reading achievement for your classroom or grade level (NSI, NAI, Grade Level and Above Grade Level). I will be compiling a building wide list the following week.  As of today, I only have the list from 4-4. 

Volunteer List is located in the lounge and has additional names added since my last post.  Have you checked it out yet?  If not, do it today and call one parent from the list to help you with something you with one thing you keep saying "I do not have time to do this."  With all those volunteers listed, there is not an excuse.  Let's invite parents into our/their school...especially those willing to do so.  After you call a parent on the list, please initial behind their name so we know who has been called. 

Conference - I will be at an Response to Intervention conference Wednesday late morning through Friday afternoon (Jessica Braymen & Norma Fast also attending).  In my absense, Jeannie Bates is your go-to person and Barb Sims can be called if needed.   

District PD – Having problems getting logged onto the online PD or have not tried it yet?  Talk to me today to get you started.  It is well worth the time and even if you do one 10 minute lesson a couple times a week, that is a good start!  Direct link to the online technology PD is http://redoak.simplek12.com/.  Also, please discuss with your team the 2nd session training and attempt to support each other with your webpage, Read/Write Gold and the AEA Online resources. A good ongoing lunch conversation!
