Cahaba Crew: Weekly Update ~

Please do not forward announcements or requests to your parents through your email distribution list or with a flyer unless Mrs. Tyner has pre-approved. This includes information from the PTO, your room mom, yearbook committee, and our Specialist.

It seems that towards the end of the school year parents become very sensitive to the amount of homework assigned (I'm sure this is because of sports commitments) and teachers are assigning more homework because we're in the crunch time! Please remember the minimum requirement for DreamBox and Reading should consume almost all of our students' homework. If additional work is given, it should be only once or twice a week and take only a few minutes to complete. If your grade level would like to discuss this further, let me know.

If you have prayer request that you would like included in this Blog, please let me know. Our weekly prayer group would like to pray for you.

NOTICE: The May calendar is constantly being tweaked. Please make sure you check it periodically. If calendar changes are made within two weeks of the event I'll let you through email or Blog.

State Testing is just around the corner. We'll have training soon, but I wanted to give you a heads up on Chromebook usage. All Chromebooks on the back hall will be used for testing in grades 3-5, so they'll will be inaccessible April 13 - 20 to all students, with the exception of those (3-5) using them for the test. K and 1st will have access to their devices. However, you will not be able to use them during the actual testing times.

Please check the calendar for an overview of Monday's staff meeting.

Our Annual "Glow Down" will be held on April 20 - We expect all staff to at least make a brief appearance at some point during the evening. We have the most phenomenal PTO! We want them to feel supported and
appreciated.

During Collaboration this week, April Smith will meet with grades 2-5 to answer questions and offer suggestions for best uses for Study Island. Please bring your computer and questions.

Please make sure your tudents have their Data Notebooks updated. Wednesday - is the 1/2 point for AR!

During April and May, we will be trying out a plan to give our general ed teachers one day a month of duty free lunch. Each gen ed teacher has been partnered with another teacher. Please get together with your "partners" and work out the date that you'd like to have your lunch free.
