Week of December 12


We are rolling into the last week before the Christmas break.  Students are beginning to roam please remember to keep your students in your classrooms.  We are having too many students leaving for the restrooms who are not making it to their destinations.  We are also ending the 3 week reporting period.  If you have not met with your appraiser you need to schedule that ASAP.  Keep an eye out for any outside guests who are trying to be on campus.

The goodies around campus are a great.  Thank you to all who are participating.

Monday marks the first day of the annual 5 days of Christmas scavenger hunt.  This year's story/poem is based on a true but highly embellished story.  To those new staff or those needing a reminder here are the rules:  At 12:01 a.m. an email will be sent every night next week.  The last 2 lines always give a clue to the location of a hidden gift tag.  All tags are accessible to everyone.  If you find the tag DO NOT REMOVE. On that tag is a holiday trivia question.  The first person to correctly send in the answer via email to my office wins the daily prize.  You can win more than once but only if a new staff member has not submitted a correct answer by 3 p.m.. So if you find it again go ahead and submit ASAP.  There will be individual prizes each day, but the department with the most wins will receive......a cart containing a set of Chromebooks.
