Believe T-shirts

Dawn Utti will be placing another BELIEVE t-shirt and sweatshirt order during winter break.  If you would like to order your first one or order additional shirts please turn in your money before Dec. 14^th along with your size.  The cost for the shirts is $15.00 and the sizes are all adult.

Furlough Dec. 19

For full-time certificated staff:  they should report to work fifteen minutes (instead of the usual thirty) before students arrive, and leave thirty minutes after students are dismissed.  This means that elementary teachers will have worked eleven minutes more than a half day, and secondary teachers will have worked twenty minutes more than a half day.  The District has agreed with PEA that you will allow your certificated staff to make up that time.  If you can do it on December 19th, by releasing them earlier than thirty minutes after school is dismissed, and still meet your student supervision needs, you can do so.  Otherwise, choose some other day to release them early.  Teachers – please feel free to leave at 12:20.

For part-time certificated staff:  They should work as long as students are at school on the 19th if they are normally scheduled to do so.

Classified staff will need to complete a form.  Please complete the form before you leave on 12/19.

Are you coming in to building during break?

Please remember to sign in if you are coming in to the building during break as custodian staff is on limited schedule.  See schedule that was sent previously.

One hundred years from now, It will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, or how much money I had in the bank, But the world may be a better place because I made a difference in a child's life.

Holiday Feasting (12/10, 12/11, 12/13 and 12/17)

We are going to continue with the holiday feasting tradition of EATING our way through December!  A sign-up sheet has been placed in the lounge if you chose to participate please sign up. In the past those who sign up "together" have usually talked about the day’s menu and what each other will be bringing.  Your group will take care of having food out in time for lunches that begin at 11:30 for staff and you will also clean up that day’s food items at the end of that day.  

Sunshine will have the lounge set-up for our first day and provide the cups, utensils, and paper products.
