     Blog Write-Ups - Please send me a short blurb for the blog outlining your units and anything that you might need for upcoming projects.  Thanks! 

     Upcoming In-service - There is no school on Mon., Oct. 8. As it stands now, the morning will be at WUHS for district-wide meetings.  We will return to school and meet as a staff from 1 - 2 PM to review and discuss SBAC scores from last year.   The final details will be worked out this week at the SLT meetings and I will let you know the final schedule Friday.

     Toy Clean-Up - Please make sure all balls, jump ropes, etc. are picked up after every recess and "class outside" time.  The jump ropes are a hazard for the Pre-K students, so please help out with this safety issue.
