  1. There's no policy to prevent lice infested students from returning to school untreated. I knnew what I was talking about.....
  2. Off the top of my head :pun:, I know of at least 6 schools across the district with outbreaks.....at all levels. The district doesn't have a lice policy. Could this be the super lice?
  3. She fought the good fight. RIP sweet angel. I taught Mackenzie a few years ago.
  4. How's the place by the junkyard in Dallas (Bus.6)? I was thinking about going there soon to stock up. My wood rack is only 4 ft wide, 2 ft deep, and 5 ft tall, so I don't need a bunch.
  5. I love in the city limits of Dallas. I don't have choices anymore.
  6. North at the top.....but I wouldn't send my kid there. East and Hiram flip flip 2nd and 3rd depending on what you're looking at. SPHS is barely better that PCHS.....and fiercely try to make it to last place.
  7. House of Cards takes exactly one episode to hook you. If you aren't hooked, then it's not for you.
  8. This was my thought as well. We went through something similar with my uncle. Thank goodness this young man is still alive! I hope the family can work through this.
  9. I have a family member shopping for a large chunk of property. He won't even look in Paulding because of the higher property taxes. Apparently on the lot sizes he's looking at there is a drastic difference between here and neighboring counties.
  10. SLOs are designed to,show growth, not achievement. I was under the impression that they were to be used with caution if taken as a grade.
  11. I have a container of strawberries on the back deck. 3 are ready.
  12. I agree. I've used Hole in One in two seperate houses. The first out of necessity and the second because there was no need to learn the same lesson twice after moving. When I had an active infestation they presented me with several options and I was able to choose the one that best fit my budget.
  13. They're quick, so you won't have to talk for long. my male friend and I like it better than Taki.
  14. An IEP doesn't guarentee better grades. I've had parents, teachers, and students tell me they can't fail because of one. That's wrong. Grades should reflect mastery of the standards and nothing else.....but that's a whole other rant for a whole other day...and I'll probably have to drink afterwards. Chances are, the missing math skill is snowballing into other skills, resulting in the lower scores. It's very difficult to keep up with the new math skills and cycle back to missing math skills. I'm going to say this, so don't get mad, but if elementary math skills aren't mastered, it'
  15. Across from the Avenues is reasonably priced, very delicious sushi. Okinawa Is the name of it....I think.
  16. The 12 weeks and 60 day timeline should have run concurrently. Every psychologist and ESEP leader should know that. It's S.O.P.. As far as the rest of it.... 504/ADA is a piece of civil rights legislation. Basically, eliminating educational discrimination by allowing equal access to the education by eliminating barriers......think accommodations---extra time for ADHD, medical conditions that require unique considerations, physical accessibility, etc. IEPs were born from IDEA (more recently IDEIA), which is an education law. This targets student who require a specialized teaching appro
  17. It's 60 school days from when you sign consent to test, not when you request the testing. If school is out for 5 consecutive days, the counting stops, but it does not stop for single days....so MLK counts as a day, but Feb break won't count. When you are googling for rules, what you are doing is called a "direct parent referral" so use that terminology in the search. I don't know what happened from October to now hat caused the delay. After you put your request in writing, was there a meeting or did it sit on someone's desk? If it sat on someone's desk, then that person needs to be re
  18. Hiram Walmart is good people watching. My sister and I went there a few Black Friday's ago....just to see what would happen.
  19. I'm guessing it's a state law rather than a PCSD rule. 21 for Gen Ed. 22 for ESEP (that ones federal, btw)
