Text Box: School Announcements A special thanks to the entire staff for helping to make the painting project run in such a smooth manner.  Everyone continues to work as a team each day to accommodate for the classroom movement created by this project.  We continue to ask teachers to monitor the hallways for students whose classrooms have been relocated.    Due to additional parent interest in our new program, we have added in two new tours for this week.  They are scheduled for 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday in the Media Center.  Magnet applications are due Friday, February 29th.    We received an AIDE data update.  This data will be placed on the share drive by Tuesday at the conclusion of the school day.   Ron Hafner will be available during TPLC meetings beginning this Thursday.   He will be giving updates on new program design and implementation.  This is being done to increase knowledge regarding best practices for the new magnet program.  Teachers who wish to get further details about planning for the new program should stop by Mr. Hafner’s office and he will be happy to give you an update!   The Teacher Supply depot will be open from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m. on February 21st, March 20th, April 17th and May 8th.  Please remember there is a three bag limit!   We continue to ask that teachers remain at their doorways to monitor student behavior during the change of classes.
