Direct from High Point...the WPAW news show!!
Starting Monday, August 22nd
the WPAW show will be available for you to play in your classroom.
Play the day’s show when it
fits your morning schedule from this website using your PROJECTOR and
Activboard (no longer played via the TVs): http://hpweblinks.weebly.com/newsshow.html
Password supernews
If you do not see the day’s
show, go ahead and play the “generic show” at the bottom of the page which will
have the pledge, moment of quiet reflection, and PAWS Up Pledge only. Do
not wait for the day’s show if it is not on the website that morning.
If you cannot get the show to
play on your projector- the students can crowd around any classroom computer
for the show. There is sound so turn your volume down a little then
adjust it so the sound is not too loud at first. You can teach a student
to do this for you each morning.

GENTLE REMINDERS...AND UPDATES
Friday was the last day parents were allowed to walk students to class. If parents come to your class, please let us know so we can gently remind them of the procedures and protect your instructional time.
PARENT COMPACT INPUT DUE TODAY: From Ms. Bass--It is required that all teachers read the Title 1 Parent/Teacher/Student Compact and provide input. Please refer to Ms. Bass' email from 8/16 and 8/19 for additional information and a copy of the Compact.

DUE: Last call for Staff Handbook Receipt and Acknowledgement Forms to Ms. Alexander
Recess Supervision: For your protection and the safety of the children, please work out a supervision plan with your recess mates , if you have not already done so. By spreading out the adults, it will help us ensure that all areas of the play ground are adequately supervised. Recess is a fun but busy time for children and it takes many eyes to keep them safe!
RECESS WALKIE-TALKIES: Grade Levels, please remember to take a walkie talkie to recess. It is very important that you are able to call the front office should you have an emergency on the playground. It is also important for us to be able to locate students in the event they need to report to the office. If your grade level does not have a walkie talkie, please see Ms. Jackson in the front office.
RECESS EQUIPMENT: Please help us locate the PE equipment donated to the playground by the PTO.
The equipment (balls, etc.) provided are marked HPE to distinguish between
your classroom equipment and the school's collective equipment! Should any HPE
items return to your room accidently, simply return them to the provided outside bin!
Translation Requests: Please send all classroom translation requests (written and phone) to Ms. Mendoza and she will see that your request is addressed. Ms. Bass, as the Title I parent liaison, will handle most of the office and cafeteria related translations and phone calls.
MATH COACH NOTES: Ms. Long has many Title 1 math materials available for checkout, including Number Talks books. She will be available for checkout Monday, Wednesday and Friday of this week from 3:00-4:00 pm. Please bring a cart with you to Room 123 to transport your materials back to your room.
SCHEDULES: Please post these to the G Drive in the appropriate 2016-17 folder by September 1. All certified teacher should post a schedule.
TRANSPORTATION AND DISBURSEMENT LOG: All homeroom teachers should post this to the G Drive in the appropriate 2016-17 folder by Sept. 1. An electronic copy will be sent by Ms. Alexander.
MASTER CALENDAR REMINDER: Please remember to complete a Master Calendar Request form (found on the wall display by the mailboxes) for any events that need to be on the staff or facility calendar. Use this form any time you have an event that impacts the use of a location or other building activities except outside field trips. (Ms. Zeller will the field trips on the calendar.)
