Dear Children's Center Staff,
Happy Friday and welcome back! You can expect to hear from me each Friday with a variety of messages, upcoming events, etc. If you have information that needs to be shared with the full staff, you can forward it to me and I can include it on Fridays.
If you did not receive a Children's Center Staff Handbook, please let me know and I'll put one in your mailbox.
Each phone extension in the building should have a NEW green safety notebook. Discard any OLD green safety notebooks, please. Let me know of any phone extensions needing the new notebook. Your safety notebook should be under/beside your phone at all times.
Here are three corrections to our handbook: Brandi's phone extension (41560) is missing on the roster page . Jessica's extension is incorrect on the roster. It is 41523. The new number to call to speak to someone at Subfinder is 661-6549.
After lunch today you'll find an athletic pass in your mailbox. If you wish to use the pass to attend high school athletic events, please attach your photo and put it into my box to sign. (Wanda can laminate it for you.)
If you are interested in pursuing your National Boards this year, please let me know and I will forward information to you about getting an assigned mentor.
We are required to have a fire drill by the end of August. After going through training this summer, it is clear that I must not give any "heads up" on drills, even with our special needs population. I will also need to vary our drill times throughout the year. Review your safety plan carefully, especially fire drill procedure, in the next couple of days.
We welcome Patsy Traylor, Claudette Slayden, Betty Green and Katherine Gage (parent) as our newest SIT members! (Kristi Wright's therapist replacement is still pending.) Make sure you talk to your rep before SIT meetings about any concerns or ideas you'd like to have shared with the group.
A couple of quick fire code violation reminders: Classroom doors may not be propped open (except for a brief moment as you are passing through the doorway with the students' wheelchairs/strollers). Also, no part of the glass on your classroom door my be covered with paper. Please help us to pass our fire inspections with flying colors!
You will find a committee list in your mailbox later today. Write your name under any committee that interests you, and return the sheet to my box by next Wednesday. I am especially looking for staff members interested in the Arts Council campaign, school website, and monthly parent newsletter,
