You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...”  Dr. Seuss

Conferences

Please make sure that you provide a copy of your conference schedule to the office prior to conference start date/times.  If a parent calls to cancel or reschedule on conference day, we (Barb/Robyn) will send you an email so we do not interrupt your conferences.  Please check email frequently for those messages.

Lockdown review

Just a reminder to staff regarding when we do our lockdown drills or are in an actual lockdown, please make sure to include visitors, volunteers, or extra staff that is in your room at that time in your response to the office when reporting in.  Also, if you can’t email, you must call with a report.

Operation Suds

Operation Suds is a self-administered interactive program that was developed to help educators teach children about the need for hand washing. The program is designed for children grades K through 6 and all necessary materials are available for check out to local residents through the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department.

The program consists of a brief discussion about the importance of hand washing, a short animated video and a special blacklight activity designed to test each student's hand washing ability. Additionally, Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department can provide hand washing related materials for educators to help reinforce the message in the classroom.

By participating in Operation Suds students will learn about:
  • What germs are
  • Where germs hide
  • When to wash hands
  • How to wash hands
The program takes approximately 45 minutes per class to complete depending on the size of each group

We have participated the last two year and are willing to provide this opportunity if teachers are interested.  Please respond to Barb by March 6th if you are interested in this program so we can request if for our school.

Report Cards

Update regarding report cards! Teachers enter free text comments for your students by selecting the COM blocks at the end of the CPT line. For the full instructions on how to enter free text comments for your report cards, please logon to Edline and look at the documentation for elementary report cards located here:


The documentation has been updated for trimester 2 – so everyone should take a look at the updated instructions.

As always, if you have any questions or if you need help, please call 8600, extension 3.

Due to Collette by 8:00 AM on March 14th.  Please make sure to let Barb know when they are ready to print.
