Please consider making Halloween a fun and educational day by having the students rotate through all the classrooms/teachers in your grade level for standards based/holiday themed experiences. Please let me know if your grade level chooses this option. It sure makes for a great day for our kiddos while not sacrificing instructional time.






Our Cahaba Prayer group meets every Wednesday morning at 7:20 in the Collaboration Room.   Everyone is welcome! If you have prayer request, please send them to me Linda Odom or Jana Feild.





Please make sure that you are sharing lunch with your kiddos.  It's an important time to build relationship capacity and for you to hear what they are discussing. Many teachers have been able to head off big discipline issues because they overheard something at lunch. It's the concept as eating dinner with your family. It matters.


Monday Afternoon - Please meet on the front porch at 2:20. Wear your Tribe Shirt for a staff picture. 

Red Ribbon Week Starts Wednesday!

Carley Bridges (Sabrina's sub) wants to sub at Cahaba.  She asked me to share her phone number.  She is in Ready Sub.  256-558-0778

The Teacher of the Year Committee will meet Tuesday afternoon.  Please send nominations to Tyner, Ellison, Prickett, or Osburn. 

Greer Leo Osburn was born Sunday morning at 9:51 am   He weighs 7lbs 4oz and he's 21 inches long. Greer and Mom and doing well!

Please welcome Mrs. Erica Hankins ! She will be filling in for Mrs. Osburn while she is out.

This year's Rock-a-thon was a huge success.  We had so much fun!  Thank you to all that came and supported our PTO and their efforts to make sure we have the very best.  I especially appreciate Mrs. Rosetta and Mr. Tony for staying through the end and clean up.  I had to head out to Mississippi around lunch for the presentation of an Award in Perry's memory at her High School.

We'll be digging deep into our most recent Performance Series Data during Collaboration this week.  First, Second and Fifth will meet Tuesday. Kindergarten, Third and Fourth grade will meet Thursday.  Please bring your computer and plan to stay through PE and Specials.

Technology needs to change the security program on your computer.  They will be here during on Staff meeting Monday.  Please put a sticky note on the outside of your laptop with your name, be sure it's charged, and you have logged out and take it to the lunchroom on the way to our meeting in the Library.  You should be able to pick it up after our meeting.

EnRICh - Enrichment, Reinforce, Inspire, Challenge - We start with all Fourth and Fifth graders this week!  Please remind students going to EnRICh to take all of their things with them.  They will be dismissed from their EnRICh class. So, make sure they know how they are going home AND they have a walker pass, if needed, before they leave you.






Thursday, I sent you a list of students that we will be meeting on in our PST meetings this week.  If you have a student that you'd like to refer that has not already been mentioned.  Let Mrs. Tyner know.




Your Teachers Advisory Counsel reported that no questions were turned in for their first meeting.  They will meet again towards the end of November.  I'll remind you in this Blog.

The Teacher of the Year selection committee is still accepting nominations for Teacher of the Year. You may send nominations to Tyner, Osburn, Prickett, Ellison, or Rosetta.

Nancy will not interrupt your class to announce that a lunchbox, snack or other items have been left in the office for students.  She will email you immediately.  Please  check your email before you  go to lunch. Last week, only 3 days, we had three lunches that were picked up around 2:00. 






Reminder:  Mystery Readers and others that come into our classrooms through our visitor's forms are not approved to bring others with them!  Toddlers and other children are a huge distraction and take away from instruction.  When communicating with parents make sure they understand this policy.


Family News from Angela:  "Giving all glory to God.  Update on momma: we got her home around 3:00 today.  She's all settled in.  We have a plan for her in-home care for the duration. Seizures are continuing, but being treated by meds.  We are no longer treating her disease.  We'll be focusing on daily comfort and strength as she can tolerate it.  We know and believe that God has used her for a mighty purpose and is continuing to keep her.  We are still praying for a miracle that only God can provide.  Please continue to pray for our strength and endurance.  Embrace your loved ones every day.  Life can change in the twinkling of an eye.  Let there be no question as to whether or not you love your family members.  For the time we have here together on this side of heaven will surely pass away.  Love you all."

Sabrina and Erin will be back this week!  Please don't miss the opportunity to tell Jessica Mansfield and Carly Bridges how much we all appreciate them.  Being a substitute is difficult and these ladies did a great job.





The Rockathon is Saturday!  Don't Miss It!
