Good news just keeps on coming....... As you know last week we had the arrival of Colin O'Hara and then Monday afternoon I received word that Mason Argo was born. Both sets of parents are doing great and just like that, we have two new members of #WarriorNation.
Thank you to the staff members inputting the parent email addresses into Google Classroom. You all will get a free Jean Day pass for your time and effort! PE staff, not sure what you would want but we can talk.
On Monday a group of student leaders attended a leadership event at Fair Lawn HS with Ms. Terzini and Mr. Freeman. Here is a pic of a few of my tweets from the event to give you a sense of what the students heard and the message of the speakers.

Cleaning of the Building
Last week I met with Andy Gamper and John Griffin to discuss the cleaning of the building by the custodial staff. What you can expect regarding cleaning of the classrooms:
Daily - All garbage cans will be emptied, the floor will be swept and the tops of the tables/desks will be wiped down.
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of each week, the custodians will clean all white boards. The cleaning of the boards on Friday will include the entire board. This means that if you have HW boxes, or objective boxes, etc, they will be cleaned also and the information will be lost. Please plan accordingly.
Weekly - Classroom floors will be mopped at least once per week.
If there are any issues with your room or work-space, or anything else in the building that is a concern to you, please let me.
