Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! 
Thank you for all that you do!

                       Reminders
•  MAP testing begins this week.  Updated directions are at the bottom of the Barker.  Please communicate your MAP days and times with your parents.
•  Thursday Folders must go out on Thursdays, as there is time sensitive information that needs to go home.
•  Class placement cards need to be filled out and brought to staff development this week.
•  Please remember to walk your class all the way outside at the end of the day.
•  Classified staff:  if you have not set up your end of year evaluation with Libby, please do so.

•  5th Grade tours at Cimarron are on May 6th from 1:00-2:00.  On this day, 3rd grade and 5th grade will switch lunch/recess times.
•  Please make sure the office is aware of any end of celebrations/activities your classroom/grade level is planning in May, as these will need to be placed on the school calendar.  This includes guest speakers, special events for parents, etc.
•  If you are leaving the building during school hours aside from getting lunch please make sure Kristi, Libby or Jenny are aware.  All staff members must sign out and in the office anytime they leave during the day (including lunch).
