     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.

                            Dear Dedicated Staff, It's hard to believe this is the last staff blog  of  the school year.  Thank you for taking the time  to read  it even though you are crazy busy with end of year items.   I want to commend those of you who are ALWAYS professional and focused on students, and kind and courteous to your colleagues and myself.  We all have an exhausting job, but it's time for a well deserved rest.   Change is always a challenge.  I applaud those of you who accept and welcome change with a  positive  attitude and as an opportunity for growth.  I hope you have a rejuvenating summer.  I'd love to have our returning staff over to my home for a cook-out in late August.   I'll be sending out an e-mail to those of you who check it.  I'll be in and out throughout the summer, so don't  hesitate  to text me if you have any questions.   We wish Beth Ann, Libbet, Greg, and Pam the best as they begin their next leg of life's journey!  You will be missed!
