Report card grades should all be posted by the beginning of school Monday. Counselors should see that all students get an updated schedule Monday morning in advisory.

We will meet at 2:30 in the reclaiming room for professional development Monday, If you have a copy of your syllabus please bring it. I have the ones some of you gave me already.

Friday, the library will be closed for approximately one hour at 11:30 while Representative Upton visits with a group of our 8th graders.

Damon and Atiba will be working to get all students set up on computer accounts Tuesday and Wednesday this week. This should provide every student a secure area to store projects ad files they have.

Again, I will reinforce the tardy procedure with the students on Monday morning. We have the potential for issues with new schedules beginning for some students. Your responsibility as staff is to follow the procedure - it loses effectiveness when there are holes in how we implement. Only students admitted to class after bell rings must be on planner pass or Milwood white pass, and this should be a rare occasion. No one leaves your class on a pass during 1st 10 minutes of class. We will clear up any questions Monday afternoon at the PD session.

The new copier has been placed in the library work room. It still needs a network card so that you can print from you computer. Technology services nixed that feature, but we will continue to advocate for it. Jan and Ruth will hold periodic in-service this week. The access number remains 2730 for usage. We will stock paper and toner in the work room.

Barbara is suppose to be back with us Monday. We will continue to collect food item for the food drive. She will be supervising the project once she is back.

I need to meet with the 7th grade advisory representatives on Tuesday morning in the library at 7:35.
