YEARBOOK PHOTOS: Please take photos of all your grade level’s special events (field trips, special experiments, plays, musicals, demonstrations, projects) to share on the web site AND in the yearbook. The two dads who put the yearbook together cannot be here everyday to record those events, and Ms. Kuhl can’t catch them all, so help make the memories by taking photos and getting them to Trish. There are several digital cameras available around the school.
For Your Information
In an effort to ensure ongoing reliability, Computing Services will be conducting maintenance on the Docushare for Staff server beginning at 4:30 pm this Friday, October 5, 2007. Computing Services staff will work continuously until the service is restored.
Thank you. Timothy Hahn K-8 Technology Coordinator
A group of student and adult volunteers from Our Saviours Lutheran Church is coming Wednesday, Oct. 10th, 6:30 to 8:00 is coming to Randolph to complete a service project. The kids are 6th and 7th graders. We can have them pull weeds, sweep, copy, cut lamination, grade time tests or any other simple teacher project.
Projects can be put in the staff room with simple directions. Kathy Wobig will be in the staff room after school if staff need to explain or show anything about the work needing to be completed. Special thanks to Kathy Wobig for setting this up.
