SOUTHEAST MIDDLE SCHOOL
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2010
1. Please be careful with the weather outlook the rest of the week. Use caution! If we end up having a 2-hour delay this week, each grade level will have one encore class that day. We will post the 2-hour schedule for you. Your core team can structure your core time as you see fit. Eighth grade, please consult Mr. Tucker when making your schedules. Please arrive to school as quickly but as safely as possible.
2. Cindy Adams' father-in-law is very ill. In addition, her grandfather is ill and undergoing surgery. Please keep Cindy and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
3. Thanks to all of you for joining us for Lillian's "retirement" party. She is very honored by your kind words.
4. NCWISE will be shut down over the holidays.
5. The school will be shut down over the holidays!
6. The PTSA will be serving breakfast on Friday morning. If we are delayed, the breakfast will still take place (8:30am instead of 6:30am). The social committee lunch is scheduled to take place on Friday.
7. Please remember to sign up for the Differentiated Instruction training that you all attended. In order to receive credit, you must sign up and then evaluate the training.
8. The School Improvement Team will have a meeting on Tuesday, January 11, at 2:15pm. Topics of discussion: hallway behavior, bus dismissal patterns, and morning tardies. We are looking to possibly restructure some of these procedures. We are considering altering the morning schedule by 3-5 minutes at the end of homebase to alleviate our traffic issues. If you have input on any of these topics, please see your SIT representatives before January 11.
9. It is likely that we will have to use our inclement weather plan eventually. Please be sure to review this with your team. The school system will make one of three decisions on these days: 1) 2-hour delay, 2) Closed, or 3) Closed with optional teacher workday. The third option is not likely to happen. But if it does, that means that you can work if you choose to do so. If you choose NOT to work on that day, then you will either have to take an annual leave day or you must make up the time.
10. Even though Lillian will remain with us for the rest of the school year, it is important to note that some of the ISS structures may change in January. ISS will also house ALC students if the need arises. Because of that, Lillian may not have the time to run copies as she has up to this point. We are considering some changes with the copying procedures, but we will let you know that well in advance before taking any action. Just putting it on your radar!
11. Please have a wonderful holiday break. Spend time with family and friends and get some rest! Thank you for all that you do. I am proud to represent you!
Happy Birthday!
