Sunday, October 30th

Hi All -

Just a reminder (Joce, you probably totally have all of this down already) but just thought I'd mention that we can probably remove Sebastian Araujo and the Prosseda girls from the class lists, and add JJ & Susie Alleman and Grace Pampel.

Jason Alleman and his wife asked if they may move their daughter Marie (who is a little over two years old) into the late preschool class. The said she is mature, and the crying of the younger ones in early pre, makes her not want to go into class. Is this ok, Blake? If so, we can probably make the change for the new attendance sheets coming out.

I'm not sure if all of us know this, but just thought I'd mention that Joce is able to re-use the label sheets that still have good labels on them, if they are not ripped. So instead of ripping them, we can just pull off the ones that have been printed on, and when we have a nice pile accumulating in our bin, we can get them to her to be used again. Just thought I'd mention that in case some of you did not know.

Lastly, Joce, I was wondering if you could send an e-mail out to all of the teachers reminding them to encourage the kids to memorize their verses. As I was doing rounds yesterday, there were some classes that had nothing marked on the papers, so I'm wondering if things are getting overlooked, or if some teachers didn't understand the new incentive program. My Bec has mentioned that her teachers have never even mentioned the incentives to them, or checked their verses.

I think that's it for now! Thanks!

October 16th and 23rd

After so much confusion on my part, Ed and I finally arrived on the correct Sundays to fulfill our duties and all went well.

Just a few things to report...

Late preschool needs a second aide. Their is one person designated for Myka but an additional aide is needed to help with the rest of the class. If Myka is not at church on any given Sunday, his aide can be released or see if he/she is needed elsewhere.

Leanna Reinford offered to be an aide an additional time/month if needed.

Trish Mellinger told me that ONLY FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER, the 6th grade will hold class on the 1st and 3rd Sundays rather than the 2nd and 4th.

That's all. Hope you're all having a joy-filled week.

coordinators report for Oct.2

A few notes from this morning.

Copier needs a new black ink cartridge, HP60.

Jared and Abby Alleman requested permanent CM cards for them and their children. They will be leaving at some point to head overseas but for now would love permanent cards. Children are JJ Alleman 8/21/07 and Susie Alleman 9/18/09.

Two aides never showed up. Sandra and Rebecca Arocho.

Matt Colefesh started teaching the first time today. He came out numerous times, could not locate anything. Are first time teachers given "guidance", "instruction" as to where "everything is located"? Galen helped him find everything, but it would of been so helpful for Matt to kind of maybe sat in with another teacher atleast once or met with someone before today. We didn't realize either, till class was almost over that he was alone. After a talk with him I did remember, vaguely seeing an e-mail from Jocelyn saying Matt would need an aide, he didn't say anything and I totally never thought about it. We told him to always ask the coordinators for an aide if his wife will not be with him.

In thinking about that e-mail I saw from Jocelyn, which I totally didn't retain in my memory, probably because we weren't on that week, even though the request for the aide is for the entire month of October, how can we follow through with something like that just to make sure an aide is available for him, especially if he forgets to ask. Unless, you are all super good at remembering from week to week Jocelyn's e-mails that might pertain to numerous weeks, I was wondering what might help. Obviously I'm blogging that he will need an aide and Jane will probably note that for next week but will the person remember in two weeks. My whole point is, would it help just to have a little clip board or something in the front of our bin with notes like that. I guess this would just apply to requests that would fall on more than one Sunday, just like Matt Coleflesh needing an aide for the entire month of October. Sorry if this is confusing.

That's it for this week. Since I'm getting this out so soon I'm probably forgetting something but if so, I'll post again.
