5. A parent called me yesterday concerned that she had driven by and seen two young girls walking the track alone. They were over by the storage building by the tennis courts and the closeest teacher she could find was over by the playground equipment. Please remember to supervise your classes with proximity to them. If children are going to walk the track, please walk with them and keep them in a group for safety since there is a parking area at the tennis courts and they are used throughout the day by community members. Thanks.

6. The Staff Holiday Social is today in the media center following dismissal.
7. Make sure that you have updated your web page by 12/11.

8. If you have not gone on-line and filled out your Criminal Background Check form, you have until next Monday, December 14.

9. If you are participating in Secret Santa, please don't forget.
10. Science Fair projects can be set up in the gym today.

11. Teachers in grades 2-5, please call at least two parents of students who could benefit from A's and Bees Tutoring tonight. We had 9 tutors ready for last week. If we have that many this week, I'd love for them to students to work with.

12. I bought some batteries, but they weren't included.
