Fire Safety Info:

• NO fire drill today. ACCESS testing is continuing make-ups. We will schedule later. 
• Please ensure your "fire exit window" is clear at all times.  We did an AWESOME job with our second semester county Fire Inspection.  Thanks for all your consistent work keeping our students safe!

If you received chocolate/gifts that you would like to donate for bus driver appreciation week, I would love to take them off your hands.  Please bring it to my office.

• We are still dealing with a great deal of sickness.  Take care of yourself and your students by keeping surfaces clean (and as germ-free as possible).

Snow make-up day on Monday the 19.  Make sure to remind our students!

Since the weather is looking good for tomorrow...we'll probably have a fire drill
