Friday Focus - October 19, 2012

  • I wanted to officially welcome Beatriz Bofill as our new Science teacher.  Ms. Bofill brings a wealth of knowledge to the position and I am very excited to have her as a part of our faculty.  
  • Monday is our "Wear Pink Day" to show support for Breast Cancer Awareness and next Wednesday is "Wear Red Day" to support our Drug Free activities.  
  • Birthday Table and Super Citizens' Ceremony are both next Tuesday.  
  • We have our Ronald McDonald Assembly next Wednesday afternoon at 12:50 for all grades.
  • Next Thursday is an Early Release Day.  Our 5th Graders will be participating in their Walk-a-thon and there will also be two fire prevention assemblies that morning.
  • Next Friday is a Planning Day.  PLCs are scheduled for that day although I know that some PLCs have decided to meet on Thursday instead.  We will also have CVS here to provide flu shots to those interested.  
  • I encourage all teachers to visit the Common Core website on a regular basis - Defining the Core  There are a lot of resources from the District related to implementing the Common Core Standards.
