Calling vs Texting

Just a reminder to all staff - Please call, do not text, if you can't make it in for your shift.
If Tricia or Vicky are out for the day their voice message will let you know they are not working and who is covering for them (usually this will be Lisa Campbell). If you text them that you are not coming in they may not see your text. In the last couple of week this has happened when Vicky was at a funeral and another day when Tricia was out sick.
It does not matter what time it is. if you text us in the middle of the night we may not realize there is a text until it is too late. Call, do not text.

Snack Tuesday Nov 5

Leftover apples and carrots. The carrots are in the fridge, the appleas are on the counter in the kids' kitchen.

Friday Nov 1 Snack

I ordered apples and yogurt for snack on Friday.

Winter Break fieldtrip

I have booked the Maple Maze & Pool and Elm Creeking Tubing for Jan 2nd 10:00-12:00 for all SAC sites.
The plan is to let the kids chose which one of the three that they would like to do. The tubing hill would be best for 3-5th grade. The tubing hill requires a parent to sign a waiver. I will send that out to you all closer to winter break.

The younger kids can choose between swimming or the maze.

Snack week of Oct 21

I have ordered carrots and bananas for this week. They are all arriving Tuesday. I am guessing that the bananas will need a couple of days to ripen so you will probably want to use the carrots Tuesday and then use the bananas on whatever day they look ready.

Snack for the week of Oct 14

I have ordered orange wheels for Tuesday Oct 15
and on Friday we are having sliced apples with carmel sauce as a special snack for our haunted hallway.

Everyone should have gotten a schedule from Tricia.
BE ON TIME!!!!!!!!!!!

These times are the times you should be seated on the bus and pulling away from the curb.
If you are late than every other group is late.

This year if your group is late getting out to the bus we will put another group on and you will have to wait until later to go. You may even have to wait until all the other groups go before you will get a turn.

BE ON TIME!


We will get snack tickets again this year. Last year they gave us a sheet for each child with four tickets on it. We did not use them all last year. So this year I am going to do it differently. We will get enough sheets so that each child will get to get two things instead of 4 things. The teachers can hold on to the sheets and just tear off two tickets when your kids are ready to get something. If you really feel like your kids need more than two things after you have used up all your tickets we can get more.

Buses for MN Zoo

There was no way to combine on the buses for the Zoo so every site has their own bus. I have scheduled it to pick you up at 9:30 and you will leave the zoo at 3:00. If you decide to leave early for some reason it will not effect any other groups.

Things you should not miss when you are at the zoo:
The Russian trail is great! The otter exhibit is wonderful and the grizzly bear exhibit can't be beat.
And a big sand box with dino bones.

The Minnesota trail now has a new black bear exhibit that is wonderful.

There are a few people out on vacation and we are using any available subs.
So we are asking everyone to get rest this weekend, stay healthy. If you start feeling a scratchy throat, crusty eye etc, etc get it taken care of right away over the weekend. If you have children check in with spouses, grandparents, friends and have a plan for who your children can be with if they are ill those two days. We absolutely need everyone here Monday and Tuesday.
Thank you all for your help with this!!!!!!

Ice Packs, Marlys returns, Subs

Marlys is back in the afternoons at Peter Hobart. Drop her an email or give her a call to say welcome back
sorensen.marlys@slpschools.org or call 928-6596.

Subs...some are superb and don't need direction, some need that extra push and told what to do. If they are doing something you don't approve of TELL THEM. Last few weeks have been filled with staff illness and vacation (that has been approved months ago) and we only have so many people we can call to work. Plus  not all subs want to work when you call them. If there is someone you just prefer not to work in your room let us know.

Accident reports for adults

There is a special form called "First Report of Injury" that needs to be filled out if a staff is injured. Most of us have not been filling this out unless it is something very serious and the person needs to be taken by ambulance or needs to go to the doctor immediately.
We need you to fill this out even if it is something minor, i.e. someone twists their ankle or even gets hit in the face with a basketball. We have had several instance where people think it is something minor and a few days later when they are still in pain want to claim workman's comp. So we need a injury report that was filled out the day of the incident and they are supposed to go to the Alliana clinic in Plymouth within 24 hours of the injury. We also need to notify HR right away.
There is a copy of the form under the HR tab on the school website. If you have any questions ask your site supervisor.

Friday Feb 8 snack

I have ordered mixed fruit for Friday.

Snack for Tuesday Feb 5

I have order 2 boxes of carrots and 8 boxes of sliced cucumbers. Denny will be bringing more ranch dressing. We also have 4 containers of yogurt left.

Personal/Emergency Leave

Just a heads up for everyone - in our contracts we have 3 personal/emergency leave days. These days come out of your sick days. So if you don't have any sick days left you don't have any emergency days either.
In the past Mary Shultz let you use these for anything, christmas shopping, extra vacation etc...
The new HR person is sticking more closely with the wording in our contracts and will NOT be approving personal days for just any old thing.

The following is her response to my email:
Emergency leave is to take care of things that come up out of the blue that being said christmas shopping no. Furnace out, pet sick, car broken down are good examples of when you can use it. k

Also in the past people have been able to take more vacation days than their allotted amount for the year. They just took them as unpaid. HR is no longer allowing this. So if you only get 10 days per year but you want to go on a 15 day vacation you will have to save some from one year and wait until the following year to take your trip. You may not use your personal days as vacation days.
You will notice in ERMA when you put in your vacation requestif you have run out of days it will not allow you to submit the request.

MnAEYC-MnSACA state conference

The MnAEYC-MnSACA state conference is Feb 8th and 9th. You can check out the classes offered at https://m360.mnsaca.org/frontend/event.aspx?EventId=53083.
The past few years we haven't really paid attention to whether staff is doing all of their inservice training but with the preschool working on accreditation we will be looking at everyone's inservice hours. Yes School-age that includes you.
40 per week employees must complete 40 hours of inservice per year. 30 hour per week employees must complete 30 hours of inservice per etc...
College students can use some of their courses to fit these requirements. You can use some of our staff meetings and the 1st aid class but that will not be enough to fill the all of the requirement. This conference is a terrific way to get a lot of inservice hours.
Also you may want to do a WMEP class. Remember the beyond diversity class we made you all go to. They have a bunch of other classes also https://sites.google.com/a/wmep.k12.mn.us/wmep-k12-mn-us/staff-development.

Snack Disappearing at Central...

Hi All CCC Staff,

I order the same amounts of items each week and sometimes it's enough and sometimes it's not. My suggestion is to grab all the items you need Monday after Denny delivers so we don't continue to have this problem. For example today is granola bar day and I had Denny pick up 5 boxes. Thats 240 we should have more then enough and we are short. Not blaming anyone for taking extra just don't know where it is going. I have added more bags of bagels for next week so we should have more then enough.
