General Updates
- Field Day: Keep an eye on email for updates regarding field day as the weather doesn’t look so promising.
- mClass: Window closes June 5. Please remember to include Home Connect letters with report cards.
- 2017/18 Class Lists: 6/6 in lounge during planning block - Bring your data cards and begin thinking about individual student dynamics & personalities. Non-classroom staff are invited to preview the lists on the media center stage on Wednesday, 6/7 … all input and suggestions are welcome. The administrative team will finalize lists over the summer.
- Staff Social: Please join the crew for a fun evening to celebrate the 2016/17 school year! We’ll be gathering around 4:45pm at Players Retreat (Hillsborough/Oberlin). PTA is sponsoring the purchase of appetizers.
- UN Council Meetings: It was requested that individual councils create their own fun for the final council meeting of the year. Grab your council members and head outside for a fun activity/game, facilitate a neat inside activity, create an art project, share stories about the year … your choice! You’re welcome to borrow the ‘Tribes Learning Community’ book in Leslie’s office for ideas. Regardless of the activity, council groups should stay together and there should be some level structure to the activity. Looking Ahead … Council groups will remain the same, for the most part, next year. Fifth graders will be replaced by incoming K students and new-to-Wiley students will be assigned a group.
- End of Year Checklist: Please reference your end-of-year checklist for looming deadlines!
EOG Updates (Please read carefully!)
- REMEMBER: Testing continues this week with some multiple day students testing as well as make-up testing. Please be mindful of any testing signs in the building. We will try to mainly use the media center and rooms in the media center. However, we might have to use other rooms around the building depending on how many students need make-ups.
- TEST PICK-UP: Test pick-up will be out of Katie Ware’s office so that the copy machine in the teacher’s lounge is available for teachers to use again.
- EOG ADMINISTRATOR GUIDES: Please return your guide to Eman or Kristin. You will need to sign the guide back in with us. Thank you!
- EOG PRESENTATION LINK - In this link you can find everything you need. (The daily schedule of administrators and proctors and the daily elective and lunch schedule. Please check it every evening and morning to make sure no changes have been made.) https://docs.google.com/a/wcpss.net/presentation/d/1FMBFxE57p1jyRjfJp81yKQDbDANMADZHntMARQN6SQM/edit?usp=sharing
- NOISE in Hallway and Playground: Please be mindful of hallway noise. Thank you!
- Morning Duty: If you do not have a morning duty or finish your morning duty early, can you please take some time to check in on Breakfast Duty and Carpool Duty to see if they need any help, since both Kristin and Eman will be getting testing materials ready, especially on both Monday and Tuesday, after that we should be fine. THANK YOU!
