Fall Schedules

In case you are wondering, I will be entering your schedule for the fall trimester over the next several days.  It takes quite awhile to get everything entered and double-checked for errors, so here is what you can look forward to:

1) I enter by individual class, not by person, so if (for example) you are in Biking on Tuesday 5th period, it is already in TeacherEase, but none of your other classes may be yet.  ALL of the closing crews are in though.  ;-)
2) Band and strings are also entered already, so please let me know if you are incorrectly scheduled in (or not in) either of those classes.
3) I work very hard to get you into your #1 class and then schedule from there, so please assume I have done my best to make you happy.
4) Some classes fill up, so if (for example) you were in cooking last year, you are most likely NOT in it again this year ... even if it was your #1 choice. Ms. Jen has said she will be offering cooking again in the spring though, so I do keep track of who has it when.
5) If you are a Roosevelt hopeful, I will not have that information until the bitter end.  Mr. Jeff has had trouble getting full commitment from all of the teachers, so although he has you "placed," if your teacher decides not to have an aide he won't have a placement for you.  In order to hold  your spot in your other Enrichment classes, I'm delaying final decisions until he hears from each teacher.  However, if he DOES hear from your teacher, I will eventually begin entering some of you into the program ... but keep your fingers crossed even if it isn't immediately entered ... there is hope!
6) You can find your schedule under "Schedule," (imagine that!) which is in the top left menu of your TeacherEase account.  You will want to have the "graphical" view so you can see your week at a glance.
7) Note that Monday and Friday do not include your activities for 8:00 - 8:30.  This is because it messes up the graphical view and who wants that?!?  Monday at 8:00 are assemblies and Fridays at 8:00 are seminars.
8) I plan to be done entering schedules by Wednesday evening, August 27.
9) And even with my extraordinary efforts there will probably be errors, so be alert to changes as I make corrections.

If you are a NEW student, I probably don't have your email address yet which means you cannot actually get into TeacherEase and see your schedule.  If you would like to see it before next Wednesday (parent night), then please send me the email address you will be using and I will hook you up!  You can email me your address at: lmanning@novaschool.org.  

That's it for now!  Have a great last week of summer vacation and we'll be seeing you at school soon;
Mo ;-)
