• Dr. DJ Jones was very impressed with what she observed on Tuesday. 
• Kindergarten Registration begins today
• PLC meetings for EC, 1st and 4th grades
• Magnet Grant Team to meet at 2:45 pm in the media center
• Dr. Jones will be at a Staff Policy Committee meeting today at 4 pm.
• Due to the fact that I will not be here Thursday afternoon or Friday because of All-County Chorus, I have asked the Arts Council for an extension until Monday. We have donations of approximately $200. I honestly believe we can do better than that. It would be difficult to believe we gave $1500 last year, and we can only do less than a fourth of that amount this year. Please consider the importance of this organization which indeed brings so much into our schools, community and city. Even if it is a small amount, we can do that, I am sure. Even if you don't pledge anything, I need to turn in your pledge sheets, so please put those in my box. THANKS!! (and remember Monday morning is the very last day!!) Think of it as a prevention~~ from things the kids could be doing! Sheila Moose
• Governor Perdue had proclaimed March 2010 "Irish-American Heritage Month". The proclamation will be posted on the Governor's web site in March. You are recieving this e-mail now so that you can pass the information along to you building principals and teachers. The early notification should provide them adequate time to prepare lessons relating to Irish American heritage.
• Any suggestions for the Daily Schedule next year should be shared with your Grade-Level Rep
• Working Conditions Survey will begin March 15th.  You will receive a letter and code around March 8th.  This will be given to Certified Employees only.  Ms. McCoy, Ms. Johnson, and I will create one for our Classified Employees.
• Remember to use "kind" words!
• If you have a one-liner to be put on the banner to be displayed at Sams' Club, please submit to me by Friday. 

Have a great day!!!
