Dress Code-Thank You

Thank you! You have been attentive about our dress code. I’ve seen several teachers with the dress code poster projected in their classrooms reviewing expectations. In addition, others have enforced the dress code with their students by sending home the noncompliance letter. It’s important that we stay diligent and consistent as a school.  

Reminders


·      Emergency Sub Folders this week. Please bring them to your O3.
 

·       Two questions that I will ask at your O3 during the month of October will be:  How are you creatively establishing a strong partnership between home and school that will enable parents to support learning at home? What are some best practices that I could share with your colleagues?
