Week of November 17

It's a busy week here at Lake Elementary School. Here's how my week looks:

Monday, November 17
I'll be meeting with Bobbi and Diana today around 1:00, but other than that, I hope to get caught up on some paperwork and into classrooms.

Mrs. Schager is out today observing her participating teacher for BTSA. Mrs. Kraemer is her sub in second grade.

Tuesday, November 18
Auditors will be here all day for their bi-annual visit. They will be using the staff building, so if you're a staff member who goes there for lunch, you'll have to find an alternate place to eat. Feel free to continue to use the copier, but they'll be set up at the big table in the big room.

Great American Smoke-out Presentations will be occurring in grades 5-8 throughout the morning.

Monthly School Board Meeting in the 7th grade classroom at 3:00 p.m.

Wednesday, November 19
First of three minimum days for Parent-Teacher Conferences, dismissal each day is 12:50 p.m.

I will be gone in the morning at the monthly SELPA and Superintendent's meetings, this time in Orland. Parent-Teacher Conferences from 1:00 - 3:45 p.m.

Thursday, November 20
I'll be eating lunch with some well-behaved third graders as they have earned "lunch with the principal". I'm looking forward to that as lunch with students is one of my favorite parts of this job.

At 1:00 I'll be participating in a webinar getting more familiar with our new statewide assessment system, CAASPP = California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress.

Second day of Parent-Teacher Conferences starting at 1:00 p.m., minimum day.

Friday, November 21
Third and final minimum day for Parent-Teacher Conferences.

And I'm excited to announce that, for the first time in six years, Lake will be hosting a junior high dance. On Friday, November 14, Student Council members presented at a special board meeting for approval of this dance. The Fall Ball will invite 7th and 8th graders from Plaza, Capay, and Lake. Pictures and refreshments will be offered. DJ-ing this great event is our own Lake Graduate, Spencer Kidder. Have a great time!

On a personal note, our favorite cook, Bobbi, will be gone this week Wednesday-Friday. We're so excited for her and her son and the rest of the family as he gets married this weekend! So if you see Bobbi and that odd, glazed look in her eye, just know that it is nothing more than wedding preparation! Fortunately, our great assistant, Diana, will be on hand to keep things going in the kitchen.

Next week we take the week off for Thanksgiving Break. May you have a relaxing, fun-filled week off.
