MASTER SCHEDULE
After much reflection and internal debate, here is the master schedule for the year. My hope is that you will seek out some grade level time with other houses. You want it and, most importantly, our learners want it. The second tab is our adjusted first day schedule. Due to the eclipse all elementary learners must have recess before 11:30.
CONVOCATION
We have to design a cheer/callback for Friday. If you have an idea- PLEASE share it so we don't hear crickets when they call out our school at the event. Please carpool over and wear the black Convocation shirt that was delivered to your mailbox. Doors to Irving Bible Church open at 8:10 and Convocation starts at 8:30. I'm hoping there is no confusion which side is the front side of the shirt this year. ;) We will take a group picture on the stage at the conclusion of Convocation and are expected back on campus at 1:30. We will cover some "Nuts and Bolts" and then give you the remainder of the afternoon to work in your spaces.
COMMITTEE SIGN UPS
To help speed up Friday afternoon, it will help if you sign up for your committees for the year. Some (like DEIC) need to be "elected" so we will have to vote if you put your name there. All staff needs to serve on committees.
BEFORE / AFTER SCHOOL DUTY
Don't forget that all staff is on before and after school duty the second through fifth days of school. It is about learner safety and showing our parents that this is a priority at Lee. THANK YOU! On the first day, learners and parents can come straight to your spaces upon arrival (doors unlock at 7:15). We request that specials and all support staff help us in the front car loop on day one. Please sign up for your duty time here. Support staff will have morning and afternoon duties.
ADMIN VISITS
Ashley, Leigh Ann, and I would like to meet each and every learner the first week of school. Please sign up HERE to bring your class to our spaces.
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
Since parents have permission to walk their learners to your class on the first day of school, we thank you for being prepared to welcome them and to ready to leave a great first impression of their first day of school with YOU! Remember that this first week is about building SOLID relationships with the children and their famiLEEs. Please, by the end of the first week, pick up the phone and call EVERY family. Tell them/leave a message sharing something special about their child. It will pay huge dividends to take the time to do this! My expectations for you, this first week, are to ensure that school is SO FUN and EXCITING, that the learners do not want to leave at the end of each day.
WHERE ARE MY FOSS BOXES
For now you should have Physical Science boxes in your houses. Thanks, Sam, for coming up with a plan for where we can locate them. Red house will house Units 1&2 for K, 2, and 4. Yellow House will house FOSS Kits for 1, 3, and 5. Green House will house K/1 Kits, Blue House will house 2/3 kits, and Purple House will house 4/5 kits.
ESL TIP OF THE WEEK
Establish a positive affective environment by acknowledging and respecting cultural and linguistic diversity. Let's create that positive and safe environment so the learner trusts you!
