Here is the elementary schedule for our continuous learning! PreK-1 students will begin on Monday 3-30 and 2nd-4th Grade will begin on Tuesday 3-31! Pay attention to the pattern for your grade level! We will run this for 2 weeks before we reevaluate. Call me with conflicts!
Elementary Parents, Title 1, ESL, and At-Risk services will not begin until the week of 4-6. You should be contacted by staff next week if individual intervention will continue. If we are just going to monitor your student for the duration of this year, you won't get a call.
Elementary Parents, your teachers should be contacting you today and tomorrow concerning their classroom specific schedule and how the elementary classroom will be working. If you have not heard from your elementary teacher by Friday please contact me directly! Mr. McDaniel

Bacterial Growth to Keep Food Safe
Bacteria, in particular, need certain conditions to grow to harmful levels. These conditions can be controlled and the risk of foodborne illness significantly reduced. Bacteria require (1) adequate time, (2) a comfortable temperature, (3) a potentially hazardous food with (4) adequate moisture and (5) a neutral or slightly acidic pH value in order to multiply to harmful levels. Bacterial growth can be minimized by controlling these five factors.
Bacteria multiply by dividing in half every 20 to 30 minutes and can produce toxins not easily destroyed by heat.If a time and temperature control for safety (TCS) food is mishandled (e.g. held at room temperature for more than four hours), the food may contain excessive levels of bacteria and bacterial toxins. Every effort must be made to minimize the amount of time that a TCS food is held in the temperature danger zone.
The temperature danger zone, 41°to 135°F, is the range of temperatures at which bacteria multiply quickly. Refrigeration at or below 41°F will slow but not stop the growth of bacteria. Freezing at 0°F or below will practically stop bacteria growth and cooking to at least the minimum required temperature will also kill bacteria(but not toxins). See Temperature Chart for Eggs, Fish, Meat & Poultry(Form 22-C)for a list of minimum required cooking temperatures.
TCS foods, defined as any food or food ingredient capable of supporting the growth of microorganisms, include raw and cooked foods of animal origin, cooked foods of plant origin and a few other foods such as cut melons, cut tomatoes, cut green leafy vegetables and plant foods containing raw seed sprouts. TCS foods should be handled with appropriate time and/or temperature controls during receiving, storing, preparing and serving
Procedures to Control Bacterial Growth
¨Store all TCS food at or below 41°F.
¨Keep salads, sandwiches, milk, etc. in the refrigerator until needed on the serving counter.¨Place leftover cooked food in your refrigerator
