Week of Monday, February 17th - Friday, February 21st

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Teachers, please make sure on February 20th, you have a sign-in sheet for parents. I would also have a column for parents to check if they would like a conference. I will need a copy of this for our Title I records.

Lastly concerning the Data Notebook Night, teachers you will need to have progress reports printed and ready to be picked up by parents on 2/20. Progress reports should be sent home on 2/21 for any student who did not show up for the data night.

I look forward to the powerful conversations that will take place during this event.

Have a great week!

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

• teachers should have an interactive panel logged into PikMyKid (see email)

• Students' names will pop up on the screen

• Send them out

• Dismissal staff will be at cones to assist

• cones will now be numbers (1, 2, 3, 4), not colors

• At 3:30, all car riders will go to the front office.

• At 3:30, all K-2 bus rider students will go to Mrs. Holley's room for September.

Classroom:

• Must be posted on the board (daily):

  • Clear learning purpose

  • I do, We do, You do (alone/together)

• Orderly, neat, and student-centered

• Attractive and interesting to students

• Students should be assigned tasks to straighten and pick up the room daily.  

• Rooms should always be left orderly, with materials put away. 

• When leaving school, you should be sure windows and/or doors are locked, and the lights turned off. 

It is the job of all members of Middlesex Elementary School to keep our school clean.
