End of First semester

Updated:   Published

As we approach Christmas vacation I realized we are at the end of the semester and I am so behind. What type of things do you like to have done before leaving for the break?

I have already submitted state compliance with immunizations I am now working on entering electronically all the vision and hearing and scoliosis screenings I have done. I am finishing up presentations on personal hygenie with 4 and 5 grade. I am also scheduling an optional stop the bleed class for 7th-12th grade.

I like to have all of my immunization paperwork (from August and September, mind you) filed into the appropriate student folders. This appears to be the first year that won't happen.

just know this seems like the behind-iest year ever for a lot of us. Eight more school sleeps until break!

BEHIND-IEST YEAR. It comforts me that many are struggling, but we will get it all done by the end. I know we will.

Yes, I am having my Behind-iest year also! We moved into our new school this fall and so I have spent alot of time getting organzied (and really just enjoying all the room!) I'm done with immunizations, ordered P&G supplies (we do this in the spring), vision screens done and entered, but I usually like to have started my health screenings by now. With only a few weeks until break, I've decided my "new normal" for this year will be to do screenings in January!

Ya, my office size has tripled, went from 1 cot to 3 (with privacy curtains), cupboards galore, private bathroom, separate office - I don't know what to do with myself ?
