Sunday Night Memo 8/20/17

First Week
Thank you for an awesome first week!  It was an exciting one with the modified lock-down and sudden rainstorm.  Everyone did an awesome job locking down their rooms and keeping kids calm. It was also great seeing kids navigating their way through the hallways, looking for teachers and reuniting with friends.  I'm excited about our year and look forward to all the amazing things we will do for kids.  I hope you had a chance to relax this weekend.

Solar Eclipse
The historic eclipse is upon us!  Thank you to our science teachers for prepping us along with students.  Please make sure to review the slides and procedures that was emailed out last week.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
