Schedule for August

Hi Gang!

We're getting geared up for the new school year.

We are working on hiring 3 new teachers:  2 MWF Explorer team teachers and 1 M-F Explorer team teacher.  It is our belief based on conversations with each of you during conferences that these are the only openings we currently have.  If you have had a change of plans and are no longer planning to return for the 2012-2013 school year please let me know now!

Floors need to be done, but that's not on the schedule yet!

Schedule wise - here's what IS on tap upcoming in August:

• Saturday, August 4th  Phase 2 Pots for Tots underway.  Bathroom Demolition and Reconstruction begins.

• Monday, August 13th 10:00 a.m.  Creating a Healthy Thriving Classroom Environment.  Workshop with Kate Drummond, O.T. and DHUMP parent.  Attendance is voluntary.  Please RSVP.

• August 27 - August 31.  Planning/ Educator Work Week

Let the fun times roll!

• Monday, August 27th 9:00 a.m. CPR/First Aid & Fire Safety Training. This is scheduled only for those due for CPR update. Fire Safety is now being added to the annual safety training rotation which means that it will take a little longer than you may have experienced in the past.  Plan accordingly. 

• Tuesday, August 28th 9:15 a.m.  Staff orientation and collaboration meetings. 
• Thursday, August 30th 7:00 p.m.  Parent Orientation.
• Friday, August 31st 10:00 a.m.  Classroom Meet & Greet

I hope to fit in a few Reggio Chats prior to our work week .  Let me know any ideas or thoughts you have about scheduling these.
