Winter Break

We would like to wish every one in our Spinning family a restful and relaxing winter break.  Please make sure if you decide to come in to the building during break, you sign-in on the sheet by the front door. Before you leave check to make sure if you are the last one in the bulding you set the alarm.

Please advise!

If you become ill at work or need to call in a substitute during the work day, please make sure you call the office so we know someone is coming. 

 

Right Response

In the event that you are asked to assist and are not Right Response trained, please be advised that you will be required to complete a Right Response form.  These are located in the office or can be found on the Y drive under SPI/Administration/Right Response.

Copier

We will be getting a new copier during the winter break.  The day of delivery is 12/20.  At this time we do not know if the new copier will be programmed or operational until we return from break.  So, good news, new copier, not so good news, might not have access to the copier during break or the day we return.
