Please include in your Newsletter

On Thursday, November 7th at 1:05 pm, The Spinning 5^th and 6^th grade students will be performing with the Kalles Junior High Choir at our Veteran’s Day Celebration.  All students will be attending this event.

Spinning would like to honor Veteran’s on this day.  Please feel free to invite close friends and family who are veterans to our performance.

Health Screening
Please take a look at the schedule on the staff lounge table for the time you have been assigned.  Vision, hearing and dental will occur for our K, 1, 2, 3, and 5 grade students.  A volunteer will come to your classroom to get you for your appointed time.

Nurse’s Office Update

We have a nurse at Spinning on Tuesday and a health assistant on Friday.  On average we see about 15 students a day for various reasons, many that we have rest and return to class.  Our resources are limited to Band-Aids, ice pack, water, rest, and/or a call home.  Please remember to have student rest head on desk for ten minutes unless they are throwing up or bleeding.  Right after recess is when we see the most traffic and hope that teachers would use the same “10 minute rule” before sending to the office.  We appreciate your support with remembering that the “first aid” boxes in your classroom and waiting period. 

Destiny Training

There will be a Destiny Library training offered Thursday November 7thth at Ballou Junior High Library from 4:15-5:15PM.

This training is offered to current District subs who are interested in library subbing.

Please RSVP to Jolene Sichmeller prior to November 6th to ensure registration.
