Paine Practice...Best Practice

We are continuous learners at Paine! Our faculty and staff participated in AL-MTSS Training on Thursday lead by Dr. Shelley Bailey.  

Mrs. Lang's 4th grade students are so proud of their personal narratives. Their final products are hanging outside their classroom and they are really good!!!

Veteran's Day Program

A special thank you to Taylor Knuppel and Lesley Rogers for the incredible work they did on our Veteran's Day Program.  Just when we think it couldn't get any better than the year before, IT DOES!  Our 2nd graders did a beautiful job!  We are also thankful to our PTO parents for decorating and helping us greet our guests!  It was truly a memorable program where our veterans were honored in such a special way!

Paine Food Drive

Our Paine Food Drive will run until Friday.  There are collection boxes for all the donations in the back hall areas as you come in from the car lines on both north and south side. 

EnRICh Update (3-5)

EnRICh will finally start this week.  Thank you for everyone for your hard work preparing for these experiences.  I want to extend a special thank you to Leah Morrison for her hard work on preparing the EnRICh rosters, etc.

Wednesday Collaboration

Please work with your grade level teams to plan and ensure all lesson plans are up-to-date in PlanBook.

Thursday Early Release Time

We will meet in the North Training Room at 2:30 to announce the Paine Elementary Teacher of the Year.  

Room Cleanup

Please have students get trash and unnecessary items out of desk and lockers before leaving this week.  Please make sure any food/candy bagged securely and placed in a high cabinet. Please make sure lamps, twinkle lights, etc. are turned off before you leave on Friday.

 Many of you have communicated issues with your rooms not being cleaned.  We are working on this issue.  In the meantime, our Admin Team is ready to serve!!!  We will be working 2 days the week of Thanksgiving and will dedicate our time to helping get our classrooms clean (dust, mop, vacuum, clean sinks, wipe down all surfaces, and clean vents). Please help us by organizing and putting things away before you leave.
