Information for Faculty and Staff

We wish a VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you and your families.  We are grateful for all of you and the contributions that each of you bring to our school. As you indulge over the holiday and shopping weekend, be safe and enjoy!
All staff is invited to the library after school on Wednesday for a treat as a small token of our appreciation to our  “Nacho Ordinary Faculty and Staff.”  

In order to ensure important messages to staff and students are being shared through this blog, I am creating a form that can be submitted for any announcements you would like to add.  Generally, most information is taken from the master calendar and emails; however, sometimes events and activities may be missed. Have something to share?? Submit HERE!  

Fire Inspection is on 11/28.  Important Fire Safety Reminders:
Evacuation Maps should be posted near the exit.  If your classroom or office is missing a map or if you need a different orientation, notify admin.
Exits and Doors should not be obstructed.
Pull Stations and Fire extinguishers need to have a 3 foot clearance and must not be obstructed.
Extension Cords are not to be used as permanent wiring.  Multiplugs are not approved or allowed. No Piggy backing (power strip to power strip/power strip to extension cord) is allowed.
You need at least an 18” clearance to the ceiling.  No Storage should be closer than 18” to ceiling.
All Appliances must be plugged directly to an outlet and not to an extension cord.
Banners and Hanging items should be non flammable and do not block views of exits.
All rooms should be free of clutter!!

Please note that we have our first IPDP sharing next week on 11/28.  Be prepared to present information on your classroom management plan adjustments you have made and results you have seen.  More information on format will be coming out shortly.

Grades 2-3 will have resource and PLC on Monday 11/26 due to the math PD with Tremain Nelson on 11/30.

In addition to celebrating our administrative professionals, this week we also gratefully acknowledge the vital contributions of our campus volunteers.
