As we are wrapping things up and putting a bow on it, here are some important details to consider. I am sure there will be more and I will post this on the BLOG for safer keeping.

Staff Bathrooms
There has been a need to clarify the Staff Bathroom parameters on the second floor. These bathrooms are for adults only during the entire school week. Volunteers or staff members must accompany their child in the bathroom and clean up after them. Otherwise, children and students must use the student bathrooms or health room toilet during the school week. 2 students have a 504, which provides an accommodation for them to use these bathrooms, but they have been taught the protocol and have been following it. If you see kids using the bathrooms, you are welcome to kindly remind parents or staff about the clarified parameters and inform Nick or Debbie as necessary. New signs will be going up.

Cleaners and Fragrances
3 years ago we clarified that we would be following the district procedures and not use or house household cleaners or fragrances in the school. Thank you for following this. This includes Clorox wipes, Fabreze, etc. Ed is to ensure that each room would have a full spray bottle of child-safe cleaner and a bottle of disinfectant with rags available. This is what is to be used if there is a need. Please take home all other cleaners this summer if they are in your room.

School Supplies

Thank you for returning those lists. As you review and revise the list with your partners please take into consideration a simple and accessible list for parents. I sooo appreciate how you all provide so much for your students - many times out of your own pocket. Let Debbie know your needs for unique supplies and we will cross check this with our supply budget and see what needs we can cover.

PTA

Staff, reminder to check-in with Mrs. Ward when you have NEW PTA $$ requests. If a budget line item has already been assigned to you, then you are free to spend away and work directly with the Board. Once the budget is set for the year, it is very difficult to make changes because of timing and if you request funds for something and have not let Carol or I know, then what often happens is that money is taken from a different line item and reallocated. So it is always better to run it through our Teacher Rep.

SUMMER Staff LEARNING

Staff, please get me your summer book list so I can order the texts for you and your team. Many of you have already found yours from the library shared (It's still in Office). The only parameters is that the book would connect with our district/school goals or connects directly with 5D+ indicators and Area of Focus. Here is a great place to search by topic and author:  ASCD Book List  When staff returns in August, we will share our learning when we return.
