Hey Panda Family,
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was an unbelievable maverick for our country during the Civil Rights Era. He wanted our nation to explore new ways of thinking when it came to acceptance, peace, and opportunities for all. This year, I have encouraged you to explore new ideas and strategies with your students to help them grow. Although our exploration is on a much smaller scale as compared to Dr. King, it still resonates with his mission to provide our children/students with a better opportunity going forward. Thank you for all the love, dedication, and hard work you put in each day to help our students thrive and succeed. I hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend!
Here are the Weekly Wrap updates for this week:
New Updates
Staff Intent Form: I am beginning to start my planning processes for next school year. If you could please fill out this intent form for me by February 6. This information allows me to accurately plan once I receive my allotment from Human Resources. If you have any questions, or you want to meet with me individually, please don't hesitate to reach out. Here are the forms:
SCC Seasonal Gathering DATE CHANGE (from Ms. Mabe & Ms. Mathis): We are having to alter the date for our night out at Stock and Grain. It appears that there is no longer the option of a band Friday night so we are adjusting to Saturday instead. There is an acoustic rock band, Flannel, performing from 8:00-11:00 that evening. Please mark your calendar for SATURDAY, January 17, 2026, to join us at Stock and Grain at 6:30 p.m. in High Point. If you have already responded to the google doc, I have changed the settings so that you can change your response if needed. Thank you for your patience and we apologize for the confusion. If you plan to attend, please fill out this form so we know how many people to expect and how many tables to reserve - Stock and Grain Event Form.

HB 805: A new state law has been passed that now requires us to catalog our classroom libraries and provide these lists to parents if they ask. Here is the information principals received - House Bill 805. MTAC has shared some very easy steps to accomplish this task. I know this is not ideal, and somewhat of a hassle, but we have to do it (sorry). We will discuss it more in PLTs if you have questions. Here is a link to the directions if you want to go ahead and knock it out - Catalog Your Classroom Library. If you would like a volunteer to help catalog your classroom library for you please complete this form - Request for a Volunteer to help catalog. All cataloging must be completed by 2/2/2026.

PTA Reimbursement Link: Don't forget, every teacher gets $100 from PTA to go towards your classroom and your students. You will buy the items and then get reimbursed from PTA. Here are the links to submit your receipts for reimbursement. If you have any questions, please reach out to Ms. Owens and she can help you. Here are the links:
