1. When Spanish classes for grades 3-5 occur in the morning, those classes will be held in the teacher's classroom.

2. As we approach the end of each school day there are two things to remember. 1. Teaching (instructional or informational) goes on in the classroom until 2:20; No classes leave for the buses or the gym until the 2:20 bell rings.
There is a focus in WS/FCS on the utilization of all available instruction time during the day. Instructional support personnel from WS/FCS, Title-1 and WS/FCS Administration are visiting schools to ensure that we are making the most of the time we are given. It is our responsibility to our students to get the most out of what we are given.

3. It is very wet outside. We will see how things dry our before attempting the first fire drill. It may be after we complete lunch. Kindergarten teachers should take time to explain what a fire drill is to their students so that they are not scared when the alarm goes off. Teachers should also remind their students of the need to remain quiet throughout.

4. If you have not practiced your tornado evacuation procedure please do so today. As we saw yesterday, there is need for it in September just as there is in March-May. The last two years we have had tornado warnings in September that required us implement our plans. Fortunately both occurred at the end of the day during or after dismissal.
