Monday-Wednesday- Place your class's money in YOUR grade level jug. Please have money for the day in the jugs by 1:00 on Wednesday as the PTO will have to get totals before Thursday.

Thursday- Place your class's money in the grade level jug you want to sabotage. Any money in the grade level jug will be deducted from that grade's total from Monday-Wednesday.  Example: $5 placed in 5th grade's jug by a 2nd grader=NEGATIVE 500 points for 5th grade.  Please have money for the day in jugs by 12:30.

Friday- Place your class's money in YOUR grade level jug. Please have  money for the day in jugs by 12:30 so that the winner can be announced during afternoon announcements! 

*All of this is the same as last year.  

We will not be announcing totals through out the week!  You will not know what grade level is in the lead going into sabotage day!  So watch those jugs and estimate how many points each grade level has!

The winning grade level, will receive a Pucker Powder Party on Friday, March 22 at 1:45 on the front lawn! 

Please bring the students student's Data NB so you will have a quick way to reference data

If you are in grades 3-5, please be prepared to tell parents what standards you identified through the practice ACAP that you are working on with the student. 

Also, look at the SRIP before the meeting and let Mrs. Watt's know about any incorrect names.  The name on the SRIP should be the name we call the child.

The Great Shamrock Hunt is BACK!  March 4-22 Shamrocks will be hidden throughout the building with varying number of copies written on the back.  You may turn in 3 a week to Barbara and the combined amount will be added to your copy number. EX: You find a 50, 100 and 75. Then, you spy one for 500!  Take it and re-hide one of your others for someone else to have fun finding.  SURPRISE: We added a twist! You may also find a Shamrock that has "Weekly Drawing" or "Grand Prize Drawing" on the back.  You'll have to make the decision to turn it in as one of your 3? or re-hide?  HINT...  You probably want to wait until late in the week to turn in your Shamrocks to Barbara. Happy Hunting! 

Our Psychologist, Jana Wood, now has an office! It's across the hall from Mrs. Watts and the sensory room.  Be aware! She maybe testing students, so shhhh.
