What's happening...

We cannot choose the things that will happen to us.  But we can choose the attitude we will take toward anything that happens.  Success or failure depends on your attitude.  Alfred A. Montapert

Bus Drills

There is a video that we would like the students to view prior to the actual drills, it is located on the share drive at  Y:/Student Learning/Transportation /Bus Evacuation Video.

Approved Volunteers

A list of approved volunteers was put in your box.  If the word Video appears next to their name, they have not watched the required video.  It’s approximately 12 minutes and can be done prior to their volunteering in the classroom.

Translator

If you still have a need for a translator for your conferences, please make sure I am aware.  The only ones I have scheduled at this time are for 10/12 for Mrs. Clerget and Mrs. Paul.

Snack Friday

Snacks will be sold by our PTA at recess starting 10/14.  Snacks are 25 cents each and the volunteer that is selling them will have them on a cart.  If it’s a nice day, they will sell outside under the play shed.  If it’s not so nice outside, they will sell right inside the door of the Primary hall during Primary recess or Intermediate hallway during Intermediate recess.

Reminder (from John Parker email)

The elementary math cadre met last Thursday and identified areas that we need to provide teachers with additional support to continue with our implementation of Bridges. For this purpose, we are scheduling two evenings of math collaboration facilitated by Janis Heigl aimed at providing some organization and planning support for teachers.

The dates of the opportunity are:

·         Kindergarten through Grade 2 teachers: Thursday, October 13; 4:00-7:00pm, Rogers High School Commons

·         Grade 3 through Grade 5 teachers: Thursday, October 27; 4:00-7:00pm, Site TBD

Please sign up on the staff development website for either opportunity by October 11 so we can adequately prepare for each session.
