At this point Ms. Miller and Ms. Heyland have expressed interest in attending. You can join them if you wish. Just let me know by e-mail.
11. Dr, Martin has received quite a few questions about going to school Monday. He is going to send out an AlertNow message about perfect attendance. Since parents planned absences in good faith and since perfect attendance is an award that many schools give, Monday's absence WILL COUNT for student accounting purposes but will NOT COUNT against a student receiving a perfect attendance certificate.
12. There is a sign-up sheet in the mailroom to take food or groceries or a meal to Rose Rusch and Amber. Please see Ms. Higgins if you wish to donate Annual Leave days to Rose. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Are we going to operate as a Friday on Monday with regards to specials?
We have contacted the schools involved to check on what they are planning. We have heard from Union Cross and they are operating on a Monday schedule, therefore Ms. Thompson-Totten will be here on Manday. I will let you know as soon as I hear from the other two schools.
Cash Elementary is also operating on a Monday schedule which means that Ms. Laney will be here for art.
