Week at A Glance
Daily:
All staff present by 7:15 AM (In the classroom or duty location)
Students may begin entering at 7:20 and will report to the cafeteria.
At 7:40, all students will report to HR class.
Any student arriving between 7:40-8:00 will eat breakfast in the cafeteria before class.
Reminder:
The leadership team met and decided to have teachers wipe down tables and sweep floors in the cafeteria. This will allow the custodians to be in the rooms vacuuming and pulling trash. Please make sure this is in your sub plans so substitutes are aware. Also, make sure NO student is wiping tables but students are able to sweep.
For the most part, the tables and floors are being cleaned. There have been a few classes leave and the floor hasn't been swept. Please don't forget to sweep are before leaving (and a student may do that).
Monday, December 16th:
Midpoint Church giveaway in Media center
Below is the schedule for box pick up in the media center. We are avoiding instructional time with this. Please bring your class to the media center at the scheduled time. MAKE SURE STUDENTS DO NOT OPEN THE BOXES AT SCHOOL. The boxes are equal but not exactly the same since many people were involved in creating them. To avoid any issues boxes should be taken home.
All times are either after lunch or during recess, or on the way to/from specials.

Staff Duty Information
Cafeteria morning duty:
Students arriving at school before 7:40 will report to the cafeteria.
Students arriving at school after 7:40 may go to the cafeteria to eat breakfast or go straight to class.
As they enter, they go through the line, get breakfast, and sit down where directed. As the table fills up, move to the next table.
monitor at the entrance as students will try to wait to sit with friends
Students should not sit down and then decide to get up to eat. Warn them several times and then inform an administrator if they still do not follow these expectations. Do not deny them breakfast! We will work to get them to follow the policy.
Students should sit quietly…eat, throw trash away, and wait to be dismissed
Dismiss students by tables, regardless of grade
monitor in the halls as students will try to wait to walk with friends
Monitors will be on duty in the cafeteria each morning to assist students…be on time!!!
Cafeteria lunch:
Teachers are expected to follow the lunch schedule as closely as possible, be on time, and leave at the designated time.
Monitor the classes while they are in line and while they are eating to ensure that students are not making excessive noise.
Each class should be seated at adjoining tables to be more easily supervised.
During lunch, the teacher or assistant must accompany the students to the cafeteria, remain in the cafeteria during the scheduled lunch, and escort them back to class.
There should be absolutely no talking for the first 10 minutes. If students get too loud, warn them to lower their voices. If they do not comply after a warning, they should not talk for the next 5 minutes.
Teachers should assign students the responsibility of cleaning the tables and floors, as needed, before leaving the lunchroom to avoid leaving an unclean area for the next class. Cleaning tables means picking up trash and wiping their crumbs on plates. Students may sweep but are not allowed to use the spray and wipe table.
Dismissal:
All teachers should have students packed up and ready to be dismissed by 2:55.
Dismissal begins at 3pm
Mrs. Yebra/Mrs. Elder/Mrs. Jones will go through the line and enter the information into PikMyKid
