INTRUDER DRILL
Listed below are the observations from the Intruder Drill held on Friday, September 21, 2012
* Classroom doors were locked. 
* Students were quite in classrooms.
* The majority of the classroom doors DID NOT cover the window in their classroom doors.  Students/teachers could be viewed through the open windows.  Windows should be covered at all times.
*Some classrooms did not pull their  window blinds down completely in their classrooms.  Blinds should be pulled to the bottom of the window during a drill.
*Teachers should not call the office via telephone/walkie talkie during a drill.  An announcment will be made at the end of the drill.  This holds true for a true emergency.  Calls should only be made to the office if there is dire emergency.

PAINTING
The painters will continue to work in the office and hallways next week.  Please remember to take down all pictures hanging in the hallways.  This does not apply to the pod or mobile units.

ACCEPTING PERSONAL CHECKS
An email was sent out earlier in the week sharing that we are now required to accept personal checks.  The email included a statement to be placed on every field trip form being sent home.  Please include this statment on all forms from this point forward.

RECESS ON PE DAYS
There have been a few questions regarding not taking your children out to recess on PE days.  By law we are required to provide students with 30 minutes of physical activity daily.   PE covers this requirement.  We are going to amend our original statment regarding no PE on recess day.  Now this may be a teacher option.  Please know you are not required to take chilren to recess on PE days.  You may use that 30 minutes for classroom insturction if you so chose.  However, if you determine your class needs to go out on that day it will be fine.

ATHLETIC PASSES
Mrs. Scott has staff member athletic passes in her office.  These passes allow you free entrance to WSFCS events.  If you want a pass please see Mrs. Scott.

COPIER
Mrs. MacGillivray has provided us with copy counts.  We are not going to post the numbers this year.  However, you may receive an email inquiring about the number of copies made if it is extremely higher than your peers.

THANK YOU TO THE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT TEAM FOR YOUR HARD WORK ON CREATING OUR NEW PLAN!!!!!  WE APPRECIATE YOU!
