Jean Passes

Please remember to turn your jean passes when you use them. Unless you are using your jean passes~ jeans should only be worn on field trip days and Fridays.  Thanks.

We would like to give Two Stars and a Wish to the following folks:

• Mrs. Truell for making sure all the medals were prepared for Award's Day!
• Mrs. Hawks & Mrs. Monroe for printing all the attendance certificates.
• Mrs. Dubose for assisting with the verification of attendance for Award's Day.
• Mrs. Barksdale for stepping in for Mrs. Choplin/Stewart and leading the Award's Ceremony. 

If you would like to give Two Stars & A Wish to someone on the blog please let Mrs. Choplin know and it can be published the following week.

In Preparation of Testing:

• Remember all cell phones must be off during testing.  Students will not be allowed to be in possession of any electronic device.  If they are found to have one during the test it will be a misadministration.   Faculty members are very accustomed to having their cell phone with them daily.  On testing days it is highly recommended that the cell phones be removed from the classroom during testing.  They must be turned OFF during the entire testing session.  It is  a good time to begin preparing students/faculty for this procedure.
• All items on classroom walls that could be considered as a guide or could be of assistance during the testing session should be removed from the walls.  It is a good time to start really looking at posters, etc. to determine what should be removed or covered during testing.
