February 3 - Files

Happy Friday and Superbowl weekend everyone! (Go Pats!)

This is something I have to work on today & this weekend for Eliza's sake and her IEP that may go to mediation (couldn't reach agreement w/ our district about some of her services. :(  not fun, but forces me to have to get to it with this next task.)  I'm guessing with tax season upon us now, some of you may have to crack the whip on this one, too!  Let's do this now so later at the end of the school year we can deal with all those papers without being buried!

For today, Friday, Feburary 3 and into the weekend as needed/desired:

***Clean up your files!***

File all those loose "to file" items you have, look through and toss old files you don't need , and try to do this without getting too caught up in reading all your files!  De-cluttering can feel daunting if we lose focus on just the task at hand.  You can read over files later if you want. 
You are only looking at some papers quickly to make decisions to keep or toss. 

See you all Monday!  Have a great weekend,
Aimee
