Daisy Daily for the Week of June 25, 2018

Daisy Staff,

Two days to go and they will be chock full!

As always, please check our Daisy Google Staff Calendar, but I'd like to highlight a few things:

• Class Rosters for next year will be distributed to teachers before Monday morning for a final review.  Please let me know any concerns, as we expect to be ready for "Step-Up" on Tuesday am and for us to notify families of next year's teacher on Report Cards, which go home on Tuesday.
• Fourth-Grade Promotion begins at 9:15 am on Monday in the gym.  Third-graders and their teachers will be invited to attend as well.  Any staff members who don't have students at that time are certainly welcome to attend.  The outside celebration for fourth-graders will begin about 10:30 am.
• After dismissal on Monday, the All-Staff Luncheon will begin in the cafe at 1:15 pm.  ALL Staff Members are invited to attend!
• Step-Up will take place on Tuesday between 9:00-9:20 am.  This is an opportunity for students to visit next year's teacher/classroom.  Current classroom teachers will direct students to next year's classroom.  Any support staff who are available are asked to help with this transition, especially in younger grades.  (Teri Paulsen will welcome incoming K students in her current classroom and specialists will be on hand to welcome students in any classrooms where the teacher may be absent.)
• Dismissal is 1 pm on Tuesday and ALL staff members are invited outside to give the traditional "Daisy Good-Bye" (lining the walkway and waving to students as buses drive around the circle twice.)
• All Staff Members---please return room key and fob to the office before leaving on Tuesday.
• The school will be open all summer (except for designated holidays) and we asked that you buzz in through the office when you come in.
• Classroom Teachers: Please e-mail student welcome letters for next school year to Alicia, Jackie and Ruth before leaving on Tuesday.
• Please submit any orders for instructional supplies that you need for the beginning of school before leaving on Tuesday.  Please note that not all orders need to be placed now; you may continue to order as you need supplies throughout the year.  Special ed orders go to Jackie & Madeline; Classroom supplies for ALL teachers go to Alicia & Ruth.
• We don't have any major construction projects going on in the school this summer and I don't expect access to be restricted.  Please just prepare your classrooms for regular summer cleaning (all surfaces empty for moving and cleaning furniture.)  If you're wondering when the deep-cleaning has been completed in your room, please e-mail or call the office.
• You will hear from Ben about updating your laptops and will schedule this with him, but you will have these to use over the summer.
• Please remember to send home Report Cards on Tuesday!!!  No Report Cards will be withheld for money due to library, etc., so if you have any concerns about this, PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP.
• I will send a School Messenger e-mail blast home to families re: Summer Reading and Math Challenges rather than hard-copy packets.

Let's have a great two days with students and please let me know any concerns!

Ruth
