Make it a wonderful Wednesday.

     Tornado drill at 9:45....make sure you know where your class is located during the drill!

     Many subs are leaving early and not staying through their dismissal responsibilities.  
     Please make sure your sub plans don't just say "dismissal". Write directions explicitly explaining your duty and location (for every day, if it changes).  THANKS!!

The Forsyth County Association of Educators will be here on Wednesday, March 6th.  They will be set up in the Be.cafe' @ 11:00 am.  Please be sure to stop by and get the latest information on upcoming events and member benefits, from professional development to the NEA car buying program.  FCAE will be here until 1:30 p.m., please stop by before they leave.

March 3-9 is Severe Weather Preparedness Week in N.C. 

WS/FCS will participate in the statewide tornado drill on Wednesday, March 6, at 9:30 a.m.

 9:30 a.m.: 

      A Tornado WATCH will be announced. Watches are called for an area when conditions exist for the formation of tornados, but no tornado has yet formed or been sighted. No action is required during a watch.

9:45 a.m.:           

      A tornado WARNING will be announced. The Tornado Drill will start with this announcement. Real warnings are called when a tornado has been sighted nearby. Accordingly, once the warning has been announced, move immediately to your designated location. As soon as everyone is in their location, we will assume the tornado position (Kneel down with head against the wall.  Cover head with arms.). These areas are marked in on the Tornado Evacuation Maps in your red binder. 

REMEMBER to have students sit close together.

Welcome back, Jeff.

    

 

     3rd grade crews are asking for your help with their service project. They are collecting dried-out markers to send back to the Crayola ColorCycle program to be recycled and turned into fuel. 3rd grade crews will be bringing special boxes and will be posting signs around the school to collect any used markers. Please encourage your students to put dried-out markers in these boxes instead of the trash. We also want to offer for 3rd grade students to arrange a time to help test bins and boxes of your markers. We can help sort them for you; please e-mail a 3rd grade teacher if needed!

                              Thank you,

                                  3rd Graders

Thursday:

• HAG tour at 9:00
• Zone tour (mainly K) at 11:45
