Principal's PLC-Connection
Dear Dos Staff,
It was a beautiful weekend and I'm sure many of you are both exhausted & exhilarated at the same time.
Due to the number of staff (12 absences) that have been requested for Monday, there are a number of adjustments to be made.
- NO SPECIALS (We will be providing a 10 minute break) Please adhere to the break schedule is posted below. There is absolutely NO LEEWAY to go over your scheduled 10 minutes!
- Split Classrooms. Due to the lack of available subs, some classrooms will be split among the other two classes:
- Kharbanda's 3rd Grade between O'Dell & Abedrabbo
- Vail's 4th Grade between Davis & Jamar
- DiFranco's 6th Grade between Houle & Meier
- An extra 10 minutes of CO-TEACHING support will be provided to those classes who have the additional split classes. This time is to be assisting/co-teaching - IT IS NOT EXTRA BREAK TIME OUT OF CLASS!!!!
EARLY RELEASE BREAK SCHEDULE
Please note there is a new and revised schedule for Wednesday 1/2-Day Break Schedules. It is MANDATORY that the assigned Specials Teacher report to each class as assigned to relieve classroom teachers.
Earth Day Program:
Only K-4th Grade will be at the assembly.
2nd-4th Grade Specials (during assembly) Please stay with your children during the assembly EXCEPT when it is your regular plan time. You are dismissed during your plan time and Ms. Gbemudu and Mr. Rivera will supervise your students. After your plan time, please return promptly to retrieve your students.
Thursday & Friday traveling teachers have been adjusted to accommodate for Dos' rescheduled Earth Day Program.
UNIFORM DRESS CODE:
Teachers - please make sure we are enforcing the school dress code. Dress down days from AZMerit are over yet our students are walking around like it's the weekend.
In addition, let's please be mindful ourselves as we should be dressing like professionals. Dress Code for teachers is in the handbook that follows the district expectations.
Mrs. Annamarie Dowling-Garrott
