As we head into 4th quarter, which of the items below can you get better at?
Keep students in your classroom whenever possible. Do they really need to visit their locker?
Passes - When students leave your classroom, they must have a pass.
Consider a "no drop and go" policy. One year my team was battling tardies. There were too many students coming in, setting books down then needing to go get something then coming back tardy. We implemented a "no drop and go" policy across the team. This mean that once students came into our room, they stayed until the end of the hour. Yes, it was challenging and worth it.

If you see any concerns with the IAR schedule, please contact Stacie.
If you know in advance of an absence during IAR testing or something unexpectedly comes up, please enter the absence as typical & email Stacie. Why email Stacie? So we can quickly begin working out a certified staff member who can proctor the session.

Volunteer Updates
Volunteer Updates
U5 volunteers need to be screened once every 12 months. They do not need to be vaccinated or provide testing results.
As you begin planning end of the year activities, if an adult is going to volunteer, please follow this process.
Check with Barb Eaton to see if the person is already on the approved volunteer list at least 3 weeks in advance.
If they are not on the approved list, Barb will help them through the volunteer screening process.
Who needs to be screened? Volunteers who work with students during the school day or work directly with students during a club after/before school.
Who does not need to be screened? People attending a celebration, concession workers, or attending an after school event.
If you aren't sure, air on the side of caution & have them screened.
