4. The 4th quarter traveling teacher schedule will NOT be ready in time for the start of the 4th quarter. Therefore, we will need to run the current 3rd quarter traveling schedule until I can roll out the new one to you. Once you have a copy of it, we will allow time for those affected to notify their classes of their classroom changes before it takes affect. Thank you for your patience with this plan.
5. The building will be open for staff on Monday, March 30, from 8:00 - 4:00 for those who wish to earn trade out time. Certified staff can work 3.5 hours to earn a 1/2 day trade or 7 hours to earn a full day of time. Please be prepared to sign in AND out in order to earn your time. This is a optional day for staff members. There are several of you who owe time for the optional teacher workdays. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have earned your required time. Susie Hook has an updated master list of staff trade-out time that reflects timed owed, timed used on optional teacher workdays, and any time earned from events.
6. We will have a staff meeting on Monday, April 6. Topics include: Teacher letter of intent/transfer options, 4th quarter calendar, UNCG grant for next year, upcoming allotment for next year's teachers, staff attendance and leave time, etc.
7. During the week of April 13, the A/B day schedule has changed. It has been altered by central office in an effort to not have the same day affected by the Early Release days. The schedule for that week is B, B, A, A, and then B. Please reflect these changes on your calendars and inform your students.
8. We have concluded our interviews for the AP position. Thanks to Mr. Bailey, Mrs. L. Turner, Mrs. Wells, and Mrs. Miller for their service on this committee. We have submitted our recommendation to central office and are awaiting approval to move forward. We will keep you up to date on our progress.
9. The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) will take place during the first week back from Spring Break. Random second period classes have been selected by the district to complete this student survey. Selected classes and teachers have been notified and have received instructions in order to prepare for the survey.
10. We will have our March Madness event on Friday, April 17. It was intended to take place in March, but we had to push it back due to weather. During this event, students will take on the faculty in a basketball game and the students will be able to participate in other contests. This event will take place after school, similar to a social. There will be opportunities for trade out time for this event, so please stay tuned for the instructions and sign up sheet if you are interested.
11. The Blue author visit and presentation has been rescheduled onApril 21. Please refer to the details forwarded out by Lisa Turner.

We will be putting out more information after Spring Break in regards to 8th grade ceremonies, cut off dates for field trips, etc. Please do not plan to take personal leave time during this window of time. I will not be able to accommodate your requests.
15. WSFCS will conduct a summer Collaborative Learning Conference. It will take place at Walkertown HS on August 12 and 13.
