1. Schedule - attached is a copy of the master schedule. Have a look over it and see if you can suggest anything better its not ideal!
2. Student Birthdays: No foods at all on birthdays. Each grade level has been asked to devise a birthday tradition instead. i.e. making cards. (Parents informed at open house)

4. Garden: Try to utilize the outside classroom more. Plan to use it at least 2 times every nine weeks.

6. Staff development next week: Revise "What an effective classroom should look like." Thursday am will be blocked for calling students, pm to work in classrooms.
7. 2 Staff meetings per month will be scheduled on Wednesdays.
8. Parent Orientation: This will include an in class session and a whole group assembly. We have been asked if we would like the assembly first then take parents back to class or visa versa. The whole school will do the same, so majority rules.
