Updates From Mareena
Welcome back! As you enter the campus, you will notice two new exciting additions that will help with student safety:
During the week, we will be referencing several documents from our shared Google Drive folder. If you have not already, add this folder to your Drive or STAR for easy access.
First Day of School - Friday, August 9th
Students will be in formal uniform on the first day. For staff, the dress is business professional wear, which includes ties for men.
The schedule for the first day will be shared on Monday, which will include duties for all non-HRTs. Specialist teachers will have Responsive Classroom training that begins at 9:15 in E412. Those with PD will be helping until 9:10, so all ES staff should follow the dress code listed above.
iMacs in classrooms
Please let Mareena know if you have an iMac (desktop) in your classroom that you did not use, so that we can remove it for another use. You can keep the computer if you are using it.
Seesaw
Please do not set up any classes for 2019-2020. More information on Monday!

Welcome Back. Preparation for Beginning of the Year
Hello everyone. I hope you all had a restful holiday.
At the end of last year we prepared a list of requests for TA’s to help prepare your classrooms. I will check on the rooms and see that these jobs have been. The requests were listed on this document .
Communication in the ES
Your feedback is appreciated as the ES strives to improve communication. As always, submissions are confidential. I have posted the QR code on my office door for continued feedback as the year progresses.
Here is the ES Suggestion Box. This form is for ideas, solutions or comments about issues that matter to the ES community.
