All staff should be outside at their designated entry door, by 7:30 on Tuesday morning, spread yourselves out so that we can see your sign and direct students to you. Add your room number to your sign, students will see advisory assignments by room number not teacher if they don't have a schedule yet.

Turn your video systems on and tuned into channel 90 before you go outside to get your students - we will run first day announcements at 7:45 sharp - all systems running.

The technology staff will not wear walkies this year, if you need assistance, e-mail - milwoodmdl-helpdesk, or make a direct pone call to Atiba. The secretaries will not be a contact for tech support.

We will take manual attendance the first week of school. It is important that we collect your attendance early in the morning, We will begin inputting attendance on Monday of next week in Pinnacle.

Teachers please walk your students out of the building on the first day- go as a group. We will dismiss the 6th graders straight from the cafeteria after our team meeting - they should bring everything they need.

We are on a tight schedule with 20 minute team meetings in the cafeteria the first day, please have your students in the cafeteria on time so we can move along and get though our agenda.

The bells have not been reset so you must dismiss classes by clocks, we'll notify everyone as soon as the reset is complete.

Special education teachers should have a daily schedule established with the para-educators by the end of the week. Please e-mail me a copy of this schedule. It should identify break and lunch times, as well as classroom coverage.

Please see that Tamela gets an electronic copy of your syllabus. She is collating them into a common document for me those should be to her by end of school Monday.

Weekly lesson plans should be left in your black sub folder in your office mail box. I realize we need to get new ones for some staff, so if you don't have a black folder put them in an alternative folder until we can get one for you. If you do this you don't need to e-mail me a copy.
