Week of April 15, 2019

Thursday Folders Flyers:
 No Flyers This Week

Lockdown Versus Lockout:
With our lockout situation this week, I wanted to review the difference between the two. A lockout means that there is a threat outside of the building. Students are directed to come in the building and are not allowed to leave/go outside. We continue with our day as usual. 

A lockdown means that there is a threat within the building. Students are directed to go to the safe spot in their classroom and will only be released by police officers. We practice these drills regularly throughout the year. Please make sure to talk with your students about these differences. 

Yearbook Sales:
Yearbook sales are open (http://community.pictavo.com/c/317309). Yearbooks sales will continue until May 10th. The cost is $24 per yearbook. Buy your yearbook now! 

SSN Spring Store:
The SSN (Significant Support Needs) Classroom will be hosting their annual school store “The IHE Depot” May 6-9th.  We will be selling school related items including pens, highlighters, erasers, bookmarks, stress balls, etc.  Mother’s Day gifts will be sold again this year. More information will be available in Thursday folders.
