I'll announce our last Team Member of the Month Tuesday!  Monday is the last day for nominations for a classified employee. (office, cafeteria, assistants etc..)





Our tradition for the last day of school is to wave them goodbye while wearing silly hats! I don't think we'll be able to all be out for the bus departure. Hopefully our Special Education Teachers, Specialist and Assistants can make sure they are "waved away".  I will dismiss Carline and walkers at the same time, so you can walk up with them and wave from the front lawn and/or the carline.





 Please print your list and make sure everything is signed off.  Last stop, Tyner!

Please send student's belongings home this week, if possible.  Frequently things are left in the office for parents to pick up....  and they don't! 



The complete Field Day Schedule will be distributed by our Coaches later this week.  Parents will be running the games.  You may also invite ONE parent to be your helper for the day.  They may travel with you and your class. If you choose to have a parent, turn in their name to Nancy before Wednesday.  They will need to check in the office the morning of the Field Day, show their drivers license and get a name sticker.  Each teacher will also receive a lunch time and spot.  Parents are welcome to attend the picnic lunch, but you do need to collect their names in advance. The office will need a list of these expected guest, but they do not have to check in the office.


Please don't send the message that attendance doesn't count during these last two weeks of school.  It does! and it's a part of our State Report Card!




If you have a student who receives a certificate that has an incorrect name or spelling, please make correcting on the "incorrect certificate" and put it in my box.  I'll get a replacement to you asap.



Scheduling Plan
We will run our regular PE and Specials schedule M-W.  After that we will have an alternate schedule (coming soon).   Wednesday, is early dismissal day we will not have Specials or PE.




To the mother who is new, who is up and down all night,
To the mother whose heart is full, but with empty rooms now,
To the mother who cried today and wonders if she is enough,
To the exhausted mother who doesn't know how to answer, "What did you do today?"
To the mother who stays at home,
To the mother who works and juggles so many balls,
To the mother who stares at her child in awe, who still can't believe,
To the mother currently tearing her hair out,
To the mothers that are no longer with us, but always will be,
To the mothers who lift each other up,
To the mothers who show up every day,

To you.
Place value on the work you do.
When the days feel difficult, that's because they are.
This is the hardest yet most rewarding job in the world.
You're not just a person,
You're a place
You are someone's home.
You are a mother.

Happy Mother's Day!
