If there is a medical emergency that you are calling for assistance on the walkie, please be sure to note the request for medical assistance or the health office so that the appropriate person responds.
Please just let the office know if students are needing winter gear. We do not want to make this public in your classrooms, as other students will ask why they can not be provided clothing. We want to reserve this clothing for students in need and not just kids that forgot their clothing.
Winter Recess Reminders to review with classes:
One additional item - please do not allow the students to slide down the hill between the trees. Without specific supervision and ice this has been a very dangerous area of the playground.
Joe has already salted and resalted everything but entrances will still be slick. Walking like a penguin to the doors will be important.
To be on the snow you must have snow pants, snow boots and snow gloves (not simply the knitted gloves)
If you have students who do not have access to these items (not just forgot them), please let Val know and we can get them for those students to keep here at school.
No throwing snow or anything else that is on the ground.
No fighting over ice chunks. (Yes this is a thing.)
No one may be on snow piles that are on the blacktop.
No standing on top of any snow piles. (The students can slide on their bottoms down any that are on the grass one at a time.)
PBIS/Character Strong Assembly on Friday, Dec. 5th = Please get ROAR leaders/Spyin Lions submitted by the end of the day on Wednesday, December 3rd!
PTO = Take pictures and send to Bowman Woods PTO of using your funds/Bowman Blast incentives. Spend your PTO allocations by December 16th!!!!
When you are unlocking the hallway doors in the building, for safety reasons, please be sure to relock them. Most of the doors should be right to unlock and left to lock.
