Student editions of books
As we talked about in PLC, JeriAnn will be purchasing each teacher a student edition of the math workbook.  As far as JeriAnn and I understand Benchmark provides that extra copy for each teacher so we do not need to buy it.

Slides to show students before House Sorting day
Maybe before we sort into Houses on May 31st show your students the names of the houses again.  House Slides

Computers
Just a reminder you will be getting a new laptop next school year.  Laura said she does not know if it will be before school starts or in September or October, it depends on when they arrive and how quickly they get can them setup.  You will get an email before they are ready so you will know to backup any files.  You do not get to keep your old one, the district exchanges your old one for the new one.  Wanted to get you an update since people asked when they would get the new computer and if they could keep their old one.

Hungry Hungry Hippo fun.


Reminder about Artic Cards
Just a reminder we will be meeting in the staff room on Monday to setup classes for next year.

I am waiting to see if the district puts out an official list but as of right now plan on just putting in the report card and checking any SST paperwork.  If I receive any other information I will let you know.
