Week of December 9

Hello Ranchers!!!

First and foremost, thank you for providing me with honest feedback from the survey distributed on Wednesday. I will provide the breakdown of the results to Leadership. Currently, 88 staff have filled out a survey. If you still have not filled out a survey, please see Mr. Miller and place that in my mailbox outside my door as soon as possible. 

This is a just a gentle reminder to let the students know we only have 10 days before the break, followed by 3 days after the break before Teacher Made exams start. Work should be turned in and time should be made up. 

To-Do’s Before Leaving for Break:

As you prepare to leave for the Winter Holiday Break, please note the following:

• You can turn off your monitor, however Do Not turn your computer off.
• Do Not disconnect or move computers, or their peripherals, VoIP phones.
• Do Not turn off the copiers.

Have your Voicemail and your Out of Office Assistant in Outlook reflect the Holiday Schedule
