FACULTY SECTION

LIBRARY UPDATE: ALL videos/DVDs are due by Friday, June 6th. Please plan accordingly and do not ask for exceptions. If you have equipment that is broken you may send it to the library with a note explaining the problem. I am trying to arrange for a room to store LCD carts etc. and will let you know as soon as I know. Most likely your overheads will stay in your room but lock up as much as you can. Leave your remote control for TV in a desk drawer where the next teacher can access it. Once again if you are not teaching a subject next fall return your teacher materials and class sets as soon as possible. Thank you for your help and cooperation. Ms. R...............
