Items From Previous Weeks


LETRS/Mental Health Trainings Coverage: In an effort to help provide certified staff with some extra time to complete the required district/state trainings we are going to offer Ms. Lloyd's assistance again for the spring semester. All certified teachers that have to complete LETRS/Mental Health Trainings may sign up for one 1/2 day on Ms. Lloyd's schedule to work on their coursework. This is how it will work:

  • Pull up Ms. Lloyd's schedule here - Ms. Lloyd's Schedule
  • Pick one 1/2 day that is available between now and the end of school
  • Write your name and Trainings in the box - i.e. "Cox Trainings"
  • Ms. Lloyd will cover your class for the 1/2 day that you sign up
  • On your day, you will stay on campus and find a quiet space to work on your coursework
    • Teacher workroom, Teacher lounge, etc. 
  • If a Covid/Emergency Sub situation occurs and Ms. Lloyd must cancel, you will be able to pick another date and time
  • This is optional, and is not required


Field Trip Fund: Please see below for information regarding field trip funds that have been provided to each school from the district. 

  • We have an ESSER Field Trips allocation available this school year and next to support learning recovery efforts.  We have roughly $10,000 to spend between this year and next year.  
  • Each grade level has about $1,600 to spend.  
  • Certain field trips have already been approved by the district for these funds (see Gardner for specifics on if your field trip would meet requirements)
Please remember that on and off campus field trips must: 
  • be standards aligned that either build background knowledge and/or allow students to participate in culminating learning experiences, 
  • meet federal requirements of reasonable and necessary, and 
  • include all students (no exclusions for behavior, missing assignments, etc.)  
  • When you want to use this specific pot of money, please indicate it on your request.
