Monday - Professional Learning/Faculty Meeting
Our faculty meeting this week will consist of a celebration of August birthdays and Literacy Turnaround Training.  We are all teachers of literacy, so every certified teachers should attend this training.

Sunshine Annual Dues

Sunshine annual dues are $30.  You may pay the $30 for the year or pay three $10 installments at the beginning of each trimester.  Please place your check in Lori Phillips' box.  Join SUNSHINE anytime by the end of this week to qualify for a drawing for the Sunshine Reserved parking space.  You're name will be placed in the drawing once for each $10 payment.  

**Example….If you pay your annual dues of $30 you will get your name put in the hat 3 times.  If you pay in 3 - $10 installments per trimester you will get to put your name in the hat once a trimester.  

We will draw for the RESERVED Parking at the beginning of each trimester.  The first drawing will take place SEPTEMBER 1st! You get to pick the SPOT you want for the entire trimester in which your name was drawn and we will place a RESERVED Parking sign in that spot….. so even if you are running a little late, your spot will be waiting! Thank you for participating and spreading sunshine to our Paine Family!

Lunchroom Procedures

This week teachers may begin sitting at the teacher table.  We are going to try something different with our lunchroom procedures.  Please allow your students to start out on green cup.  If they become too loud, switch to yellow cup (as a noise warning).  Only use the red cup if the entire class is too loud after being reminded with the yellow cup.  Please do not put the entire class on red if the noise level or issue is due to an isolated group of students.


Thursday Collaboration this Week
Due to the holiday next Monday (and therefore, no faculty meeting), we will need to use our collaboration day for training on Education Effectiveness and Testing.  It is important that everyone be trained, certified and classified.  We will resume regular collaboration the following week.
