If you would like help on how to reset student passwords Jake will be going over how to do that at 3:15 on Monday (10/3) during PLC. This applies mainly to teachers in grades 3-5 right now. Here is an instructional video (with no sound) of how to do it.

Siblings around during Art Docent, Science Docent, Daily 5
There have been some questions around when younger siblings are allowed on campus during school hours. The district has made it really clear that they don't think younger siblings should be around during school hours if the parent is volunteering. I am fine leaving it up to teacher's decision when it comes to things like class parties. Anything academic or where instruction is being given there should be no younger siblings. This includes art docent, science docent or Daily 5. If you have questions or feel different please let me know and we can discuss.

Talent Show Dance
On Wednesday at the staff meeting we will vote on one of these 4 songs for the staff dance: ABC, Ghostbusters, Shout, Thriller. I know we talked about Ghostbusters but I know some people felt we should vote. So at the staff meeting we will vote and whichever one has the most votes wins.

Lunch Baskets
If anyone still needs another lunch basket I have extra in my office.
Food
A reminder that students cannot bring in donuts or other foods to share with the class except on the party days or days specified by you the teacher. Diane and Luisa do a great job turning people away but if a parent does bring in a treat please tell them sorry you can't pass those out. The same applies to field trips. If the parent has any questions I would be more than happy to answer them.

Just a reminder that any paperwork going home asking for money for field trips must say donation. If someone is not able to pay they still go and you just need to get Diane the information so she can do a scholarship through PTC.
