We will have a Lock Down Drill Friday morning.  I will announce the exact time Friday morning during announcements.  This drill will not be a surprise and we shouldn't catch anyone during a transitional time. Please spend some time prior to our drill practicing with your class. Tell them exactly what to expect. 1. hiding  2. lights off  3. silence  4. policemen coming to their doors   I think there is much less anxiety is they know what to expect.  

We'll announce Team Member of the Month this week!  Please take a minute to nominate a Specialist or Exceptional education teacher that you feel needs some extra recognition.  Last year we recognized Mrs. Searcy and Mrs. Young from this group.

Our staff picture wasn't the best so I've rescheduled with a photographer.  Please, please do what you can to be here.  This is the picture we will hang in the school and I'll use on social media.  New date: September 29 at 2:30. We will wear our Staff Shirts.

Just a reminder......  Ready Sub is web based.  You can access it from your phone, tablet or computer!  We have a much better chance of getting a sub if you can enter it in Ready Sub the day/night before. Although, I do understand that's not always possible. I also really appreciate you sending me a text letting me know. Occasionally Barbara and I can help too.

Please remember Sara Wessel and her family. After a long illness, her mother passed away Saturday.  Sara will be traveling to Connecticut Friday.

Our Safety Team has asked for a CES Remind as an alternate way to communicate in the event our intercom system fails during an emergency situation.  Please sign up for the CES Faculty notifications through this link    .EMERGENCY USE - Remind

Please remind parents!  Add to your Chat Night presentation!

Don't Forget those 3rd Party Forms!

We cannot share ANY information about students to doctors, tutors, outside counselors etc.....  without a 3rd party form on file for them at Cahaba.  You can print this form from the Teacher Resources drive, found in the folder labeled "Forms".  Once it's signed make sure that Mrs. Tyner has a copy.

Please make sure your bus riders get out of your room when they are called! When students miss the bus, we'll send them back to your room to call parents.  You are better able to explain to the parent what happened.  I don't give the wave for the buses to leave until after I've called all the car riders. 

We have a prayer group that meets every Wednesday morning in the front conference room at 7:20. Everyone is welcome.  You can come in late or leave early.  You can come every Wednesday or once a month.  The door is always open.  We also take prayer request. This Wednesday will be our first time to meet this year!
