2/10/2017 Faculty Notes

  1. Please continue to remind your students about returning registration. The rate increases on the 24th. In year’s past tuition has been on the re-registration forms. However, our budget has not been approved yet. We will be sending home rates as a soon as possible. If parents ask, please let them know we expect minimal increases.
  2. We do not have a staff meeting next week. Please use this time to prepare and meet with your committees for the meeting on the 21st. We will meet as a group in the Parish Center on Tuesday, February 21st beginning at 9:00 a.m. We will present the information from the training and then spend the remainder of the day in groups working on accreditation.
  3. Please remember to communicate how you want parents to sign-up for Parent/Teacher conferences on Monday, February 13th. Dinner will be provided that evening, I promise! Please attempt to create a short break for yourself in the schedule. I will have pizza here by 5:00 with soda and water in the upstairs teacher workroom.
  4. Please see the survey on Catholic Identity. The staff survey link is: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/stjudestaffsurvey .
  5. The cleaning company has asked that we stack the chairs every night. I have asked that they clean all touchable surfaces (light switches, water fountains, door handles, etc.) each night with a disinfectant and that they wipe the desks per our contract every Tuesday and Thursday. Stacking the chairs instead of putting them on the desks will help accomplish this request.
  6. Please note that the skating party on the 16th is being moved.
  7. Please note that Kimbra is putting out attendance every morning and Debbie is putting out sub notices and field trip notices. Please also let Debbie know if you are doing any special events in the classroom (holiday celebrations, parties, etc.). It would help everyone to know what is happening in the building on a day to day basis. Field trips and special events will only be sent on Mondays with information for the next two weeks.
  8. We have some unfortunate news regarding Katherine Neal, our Title I teacher. Unfortunately, her husband accepted a position elsewhere so she will be leaving us Friday, February 17th. Please take a moment and wish her well.
  9. An email was sent out earlier this week regarding the arrangements for Monica Munoz’s mother. Please continue to keep them all in your prayers.
