Team,
Quickly, if you have not already, please submit your sub folder. Of course, we hope not to access sub folders often, but when we do, the morning sub assignment process is much smoother when they're in place. Also, it has come to my attention that students are arriving to their 6th period class with their book bag in tow. The "bags in locker" rule is a safety feature. If/when a student arrives to your class with his/her book bag, please ask him/her to return it to his/her locker. Much appreciated!
Tomorrow, we shall meet as a team in the library at 1:10pm. There will be a data presentation followed by goals work in department teams. We have much to do. Please make every effort to be on time.
Please see below for some important updates, and event remembering the life of BHS alum, Waymond Pearson, and a neat PD opportunity.
Best,
Pat
P.S. Some good news - the evaluation goals are not due 9/26, they're due 10/1.
************************
Waymond was born in Gary, Indiana and raised in Boston,Ma.
September 30,1984-Septmeber 14, 2003
Waymond was a tough All-City Running Back and Middle Linebacker player For the Brighton Bengals. He had a heart so big he once gave his shoes to a homeless man and walked to his home barefoot. Unfortunately, Waymond was tragically murdered on September 14, 2003 as he was coming to the aid of his friend.
Ten years have passed and we want to celebrate Waymond’s life. His talent on the field was remarkable. He was a joy to Watch and planned to attend Curry College after he graduated from Brighton High. His dreams were cut short for being a loyal friend. We would like everyone to come out to Brighton High’s first home game of the season to retire Waymond’s Jersey #35 of the Bright Bengals.
Please join our celebration.
Saturday 9/28/2013 as the Brighton Bengals face the Charlestown Townies
White Stadium @ 1:00 PM.

Good Morning Staff,
I have been asked by BPS Health Services to make available to all the Blood Borne Pathogens and Life Threatening Allergies Trainings.
The blood borne pathogen section contains a PowerPoint and a brief post test. The test can be placed in my mailbox or e-mailed.
The LTA section contains a training module and a quiz. Once staff members complete the quiz they will receive a Certificate of Completion that can be either printed or e-mailed to Nurse Dujour. I will attend the October 9th Department meeting for demonstration of Epi-Pen administration for interested staff members.
Please complete trainings by October 11, 2013
Thank You for your cooperation.
