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.
