Monday Notes 5.13.19

*******************NEWS**********************


GMAS Make-Up Testing
GMAS make-up testing will be today and tomorrow for our fourth grade students. Please make sure you keep your students as quiet as possible in the hallways and in the classrooms. We will make an announcement once testing is complete so classes can go outside for recess.

************************************************* 
Safety
In light of recent events, we have to remain diligent in our efforts to have a safe and secure environment for staff and students. 
Please make sure you are closing windows in the afternoon, not propping open any doors, keeping your keys on you at all times, and are limiting the amount of time individual students are leaving the classroom. 
If you have any concerns or questions regarding this, please see Pitchford or DiBartolo. Thanks!!

************************************************* 
FCS Strategic Plan Survey
We are committed as a district to supporting our people and culture as an important pillar of our Strategic Plan 2022.  As a school, we need your valuable input to know how we are doing! This feedback will be informative of our work at the local school level and will also help us to identify possible next steps we should take to meet our goals.

Please share your overall experience by taking this 10-minute survey via the link provided below.  Your responses will be reported anonymously.  And, thank you to those who have already provided your responses.  

The survey will continue to be open through Friday, May 17, 2019.  We thank you in advance for your important feedback.

Field Day
PK-2nd  8:15-10:45
3rd-5th   11:00-1:30

Field day packets will be placed in your mailbox this week.  Please look it over prior to field day. 

PK-2: Please try your best to follow the order of stations.  We had to cut some stations due to construction this year.

Grades 3-5: Please monitor your kids in the water event stations.  In the past, the biggest complaint from volunteers is when kids are dunking their heads in the buckets, not listening, etc.  The volunteers will probably soak your kids with the water hose, just remind them to follow the rules.  
I will place a water hose in the carpool area for you to spray your kids!!  

ALL: Please be mindful that parents volunteering and supporting the stations during field day are NOT in charge of discipline. 
Rules and expectations for each station should be explained prior and each staff member is in charge of closely monitoring students to make sure they are having fun in a safe and respectful manner! Each station should be left as you found it for the next class. 

This should be a FUN day for your kids. Please refrain was taking away stations unless there is a discipline issue DURING field day. Otherwise, students should not lose field day for classroom behavior. 

We also want YOU to enjoy it.  All other staff will be assigned to a homeroom or a grade level for extra support. 
HAVE FUN!

If you have any questions about field day, please see Ms. Bearden.

Shred, Keep or Send Home
Many of you have asked these questions… see below for what to do with what and how:

1. Doctor’s notes- KEEP for 2 years
2. Hand written parent excuse for absence- KEEP for 2 years
3. Tardy slips- TOSS
4. Graded work from this year- SEND HOME- tests, center work, etc…
5. DFACS referrals- KEEP
6. Work folders from last year- take papers out and send home OR shred
7. Boxed work from years past- shred- county will come and pick up the boxes-  
        label it TO SHRED and we will let you know where to bring it to.
8. Conference notes- shred or keep- up to you

For those items that say KEEP, we will be giving each team a large manila envelope to store these items in. Label the envelope with: your grade level, the school year, and the contents(what's inside the envelope). Each teacher can paper clip or binder clip their items and stick inside the envelope.
*Envelopes will be handed into Hess.
