Tuesday MM - Day "F"

Good Morning!

Update from Kathy

I have placed a copy of Curriculum Updates from the September meeting in the blog documents folder.  This is the same update that I sent as an e-mail attachment last month.  I have heard several comments in the past couple of weeks where people said "I didn't know that___."  This written update is in lieu of grade level meetings where I could give face-to-face updates.  If your grade level prefers a meeting instead of reading the updates, please let me know!

Be aware that the CogAT (Wed-Fri) will affect some assistant coverage/classes.  The following staff will be involved from 8:30-9:10 and 10:15-11:30 each day: 

• 2nd grade teachers
• Jenny Orefice (not Thursday unless someone is sick)
• Kelly Moye
• Natalie Newman
• Maria Cook
• Doris Davis
• Deb Gray
• Nicole Robinson

An update from the United Way/Olga and Lisa

An email is scheduled to be sent out at 6:30 a.m. with a link to the UNITED WAY e-pledge site. It will come from Sam Dempsey, and the subject line will be 2013 United Way Campaign. We've done everything we can think of with technology to keep it out of people's junk mail folders. My fingers are crossed that it will work. Please also remind people that this is a personalized link that goes from their email to their UW account -- so they shouldn't share it with others.

Part of the problem is that we decided to go with random passwords to increase security. We didn't find out until later that by doing that, we can't include people's passwords in the email. However, there is a workaround -- go to this site: https://uwfc.upicsolutions.org/crm/Start.jsp and click the "Forgot My Password" link. Follow the instructions, and you'll get your new password and be able to log in. (When they ask for your User ID, it's your full email address.)

Hope this helps. Thanks for all of your work on the campaign.
