"Daisy Daily" for the Week of September 16, 2019

MaryJo Noonan & Ruth Rose share a book in English and Spanish with our kindergarten students at Open House Breakfast.

Dear Staff,

Hope that everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather this weekend!

Many thanks to ALL for helping to make our marathon of Open House Breakfasts so successful last week!

As we enter our fourth week of the 2019-20 school year, here are a few reminders:

• Please review the procedures for a fire drill with your students as we will practice a school-wide fire drill this week.
• PLEASE remember that we have our Mandated Reporter Training this Tuesday, September 17th, in the cafe from 3:15-4:15 pm for ALL staff members.  
• Please, also remember that ALL staff members must complete three online trainings ASAP.  These are accessible on our District Web Page, under the tab "Employee Resources," under Health and are:
• Bloodborne Pathogens Training
• Health Training
• Mandated Reporter Training (This one produces a certificate upon completion, which much be shared with office staff, either in hard copy or electronically.)  When sending anything to the office, please copy Alicia Adinolfi, Diane Fencil and me.  Many thanks in advance!
• There is a PDEC Meeting this Wednesday, Sept. 18, at 3:15 pm in the Westbrook High School Library for PLC Leaders, district-wide.
• Our Daisy PTO Family Picnic will take place this Wednesday, Sept. 18, from 5:30-7:00 pm outside on school grounds.  This is usually very-well attended by Daisy families and staff members are encouraged to attend as well.  
• This week in Grade-Level Meetings, we will study student data.  For grades three and four, that includes a discussion of the results of your students who took the SBAC in Spring 2019.
• Don't forget to share Kids' News with your students and join in the Pledge of Allegiance each morning.  The link to Kids' News is on Ms. Godfrey's web page as well as our Daisy home page.
• Teachers/certified staff members, please remember to update your web page frequently with important information for families.  Likewise, with the number of staff relocations that took place this school year, please update the message on your classroom/office phones as well.
• We continue to tweak our Duty Schedule.  Please be sure to consult the Google Doc for the most up-to-date schedule at:
