Well, friends, I think this will be the final edition of our Suite Post. By next Thursday there really won't be much to add that you don't already know! I don't possess adequate command of vocabulary to sufficiently express my heartfelt gratitude for your friendship and willingness to step up and serve God in such mighty ways at South Side. You are EACH an inspiration to so many and to me! I have learned so much with you and from you. Most of all, my faith in our God has been emboldened and deepened by living alongside you these past six years! As with our little ones, the years God has allowed me to live and serve at South Side with be some of my most special. Thank you for being my family for six amazing years!
End of Year Chapel
Let's hold our final chapel like we typically do. Come to the gym at 10:45. We'll sing and offer a special blessing to our "graduating" second graders. K and 1 will line the hallway. Parents and family members continue the applause line. Then our second graders will walk through the adoring crowd as we send them off to all that God has in store for them in new places and spaces.
Friday Afternoon
Lunch will be provided on May 31. Anyone and everyone who would like to brainstorm together, let's talk about how we can develop the idea of buddy classes and joint projects in order to facilitate a deeper/richer "family feel" at South Side!
Summer Cleaning Schedule
There is a Guidebook on the table in the staff center. If you are in charge of prepping an area for the summer cleaning crew, please take a few minutes to read through the booklet. I'll attach it here as well. Don't hesitate to ask Darlene questions. She's eager to help so that South Side can be spic and span for our new batch of learners next year!
From Paul:
Good morning, South Side Staff!
We will start cleaning classrooms during the week of June 10th. Our goal is to be done with South Side by the end of June. The summer cleaning crew will attach a cleaning checklist to your classroom door when finished. Please indicate where you would like the classroom furniture arranged after cleaning just as you have in previous years. Marking each furniture piece with a letter corresponding to a classroom map is most helpful for our cleaning staff. Please also note that hallway and classroom floors will be stripped and waxed at a minimum from June 17-28. Please refrain from being at school during that time. We will keep you updated upon completion of refinishing the floors. We will keep you updated on the completion of this task should there be any delays or unforeseen circumstances affecting the cleaning schedule.
Please do a few things before you leave for the summer:
1. Please take home any valuables or personal items. We may have contractors who will be in the school this summer, and we don't want anything broken or stolen.
2. Clear off desks and surfaces. The more clear surfaces we have the faster and more efficiently we can clean your classrooms and stay on schedule.
3. Submit any maintenance requests for your classroom that needs our attention. Click here if you need something repaired.
4. Submit any Summer Painting Requests.
5. Please make a room diagram of your classroom so the summer cleaning crew can set up the room in the layout that you would like for the start of the school year. Please also attach a letter to each pice of furniture with your room number corresponding to the location where you would like it to be placed. Please keep your room diagram on the door to your classroom so that we can easily find it and arrange your room as you have requested.
We look forward to you returning to a cleaned and sanitized school in the fall. I am confident that all of our summer projects will get done with your help by doing the things listed above. Also enclosed to this email is the Summer Cleaning Schedule and Guidebook. It will provide information regarding the projected timeline for the cleaning projects that will be administered throughout the summer, and it should provide a reasonable expectation of when we are planning on cleaning your classroom.
If you have any paint requests for your classroom or other areas around the school, please click here.
Thank you very much! We look forward to meeting, and hopefully, exceeding your expectations.
Running Records
Please remember to give your running records to Miska. They will be delivered to the next year's teachers ASAP. Thank you!
Report Cards and MAP ScoresReport Cards will be printed and packed next week. Please let Pat or Miska know when your reports are ready for the presses! If we can get those cards completed by Tuesday or Wednesday, it makes the printing process more feasible. But...I know. It's May. Everything is due and everything is happening. We'll all give grace where grace is needed! MAP Scores have been printed and will be in each child's report card with a letter of explanation

Classroom Purchases
As we go into the summer, please remember not to make any purchases until after July 1. Purchases made anytime before that date might not be reimbursed. Please let me know if this poses a problem for you. We have until June 6 to turn in receipts for this year.
Refrigerator
Lunch will be provided on the last day of school. Since you won't have to take your lunch bag along that day, would you mind clearing out your goodies in the fridge? We don't want to accidentally dip into anyone's 3-month old salsa next August. 😱
Weekend
Have a wonderful weekend with some time to relax, enjoy the sunshine, catch a little poison ivy, whatever's your pleasure (I may try to avoid the latter this time). May God bless each of you as you celebrate the sacrifices and gift that our country is!
Have a blessed summer friends.
