Library Dedication in Memory of Jana LoPresti 

Thank you to everyone who stayed on Friday afternoon to dedicate our library in Jana's name.  It was such a special event and it meant so much to Jana's family and our Paine Family!  We would like to thank Mrs. & Mrs. Bill Roberts for making the naming possible and Lance Pate for all of his support with the creation of our snack cart, J. Lo's Grab-n-Go.  We would like to extend a special thank you to the following:  Andrea Barker and Kim Dahlke for such a great idea, Lori Phillips for painting/staining the cart (it looks beautiful), and Ellen Ormond and Amy Ramer for coordinating the celebration with all well-thought-out details that made it so special.  Please make sure you stop by J. Lo's Grab-n-Go this week for a treat!

  

  

   

Thank You to our Substitutes

It has been the most challenging year I can remember.  I know coverage issues have been hard on everyone.  We want to extend a special thank you to our floating substitutes.  We would not have survived the year without them.  A very special thank you to Ms. Hayden who has been here every day this year!

Year End Awards

We will be coming around the classrooms this week for year end classroom awards and certificates.

Important Reminders - To Prepare Rooms for Summer Waxing

• Teacher must take ALL personal rugs/carpets/couches/chairs/bean bags, etc. home this year and have them cleaned (including any that are in storage in the school).
• Teachers are responsible for disposal of any rugs/carpets they do not want (custodians cannot do this).  Do not put any of these items in the dumpsters at the school.

Note:  We will set up a Goodwill Pick-up on each side of the campus for personal items that are still in good condition that you may no longer want.  More information will be provided on where/when to place these items.

•  Each school principal must approve any rugs/furniture brought back into the school.

Note:  We will provide more information on this at the end of the summer.

•  If teachers have any expensive personal item(s) they need to take them home for the summer.
• Teachers are to disassemble and stack the clear plastic dividers on the book cases in their rooms.

Note:  We will communicate a location in our school for storage of the dividers for those that do not have a space.

• All bookshelves are to be emptied so that the vendor can move them. TCS nor the vendor will be responsible for any personal book case in poor condition if broken during the waxing process. 
• Chairs are to be stacked on the tables/desks in the classroom.
• Teachers should make a detailed map of ow they want their classroom furniture set back up and tape it to the white board in the classroom.
• Teachers need to "Declutter" their rooms so that cleaning can take place.

Lunch on Tuesday for Faculty & Staff

Pizza will be provided for all faculty and staff courtesy of one of our parents.  This is a special thank you for what you have accomplished during the most challenging year.

Student Lunch Schedule on Thursday

Since students will be dismissed at 12:00 on Thursday, so we will follow a different lunch schedule and procedure.  To Go Lunches will be picked up in the lunchroom.  Please coordinate with your partner where one of you stays back with the students who brought their lunch and one goes with the students purchasing a lunch.  Please eat either outside or in your classroom.  Our custodians will provide you with a trash bag.  Please place all trash in the bag, tie up, and leave outside your classroom door immediately following lunch.

Math Curriculum

I have received several questions about our math curriculum next year and realize there is some confusion.  The Math Curriculum Guides we are currently using in Grades 1-5 will remain our PRIMARY curriculum.  STEMScopes Math will serve as a SUPPLEMENT for those grade levels.  If you have any questions, please let me know.

Copies of IEPs

Sped Teachers:  Please remember to provide copies of all of the IEPs on your caseload to Dr. Lothspeich before you leave on Thursday.  She will not be able to sign off on your year-end checklist until these are received.

Thank you!

Thank you so much for all of your hard work, especially during these past two weeks of school. I know the process of closing the year (and the emphasis on decluttering this year) is hard, but so rewarding when complete.  If you are moving into a different room, we are here to help.  Ellen Ormond is coordinating where tables have been utilized/stored so we can get them back to the appropriate rooms.  Thank you for working so hard now to set us up for an amazing year next year!  I truly believe next year will be the best one yet as we are unified as grade level teams and get back to some sense of normalcy.
