A Couple Notes

Bathroom Situation:
-The new bathrooms have the automatic flushing system installed on each toilet. A step forward in the prevention of spreading germs. A step back for some our young students using the bathroom on their own. We had a talk earlier in the week about why the sensors are there, how the sensors are set off, and that nothing will happen to them if the toilet flushes and they are still sitting there. If you could go over some of these points at home with your child, I think it will go a long way in helping some of the boys and girls get over the fear they currently have.

Rethman Report:
-I tried many different approaches and spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how I could upload this document on the blog, but had no success. While I try to contact someone to help me with this, I will be sending the Rethman Report home in your child's folder for a little while. I hope to have this resolved soon!

Erasers:
-I mentioned this in the Rethman Report, and I will go ahead make another request right now. We are in need of some of the pink, rectangular erasers for the students. The children have been using the erasers on the pencils, but the erasers keep snapping off. I have picked some up for the classroom to start, but if you could help us out with this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Skill Rings:
-Today (Sept. 17) was the day your child's skill rings were supposed to be turned in. I received most of them, but if you are still working on them, try to send them with your child by Monday.

Classroom Phone:
-My classroom phone was hooked up earlier this week and is now fully operational. The extension is 2514. So if you have any concerns you can now reach me by phone. I have also updated my profile, so you can find the phone information there.
