    Which primary assignment sheet?  Can you post a link?

    I'm afraid I don't.  Your best bet is to try to contact the publisher of the books you're looking for information or copyright release on.

    You're not a bother, Summer.  Thanks for the additional information — now I understand what you were looking for, and the links were broken during our last upgrade, apparently. I think they're fixed now.

    Please let me know if you see any other problems.

    I'm not qualified to give "guidance" beyond what is in the Handbook, which states the duties of a Secretary and the Presidency.  The secretary is not part of a presidency and is not released when a presidency is reorganized.  The handbook states that the presidency teaches.  Secretaries' duties do not include teaching.  https://www.lds.org/handbook/handbook-2-administering-the-church/relief-society?lang=eng#9.2.2

    Some have tried to imply that since secretaries are not expressly prohibited from teaching in the handbook that somehow they can or should.  The RS president is not expressly prohibited from conducting sacrament meeting — does it follow that she can or should?  Of course not.  The handbook is a list of duties that those in callings should perform.  It is *not* a list of all the duties that a person with a calling should not perform.

    I've answered this question before here:

    Actually, that's wrong.  You must receive a copyright release before altering an image.  Suggesting you can take an image and alter it until it becomes "yours" is like suggesting you can steal paper from the store, draw on it, and now it's suddenly yours.  

    If the initial image is taken without permission for a use prohibited, it's a violation of the terms of use.  Not to mention dishonest.

    Use your own creativity to create a logo.  If you aren't confident in your skills, pay someone (not me) :).  You can get a logo done by a college or high school art student or friend for cheap and your integrity will remain in tact.

    I responded to this question last week, but I think that the answer was lost during an update.

    Bro Simon was asked by his employer to discontinue writing his blog.  I, too, will miss the helpful insights I gained by taking a peek inside his classroom, and I hope that sensible policies can be developed by Seminaries and Institutes that will allow faithful teachers to share online irrespective of the fears of policy makers.

    It is a disappointing situation, and it is one that is likely to continue for the foreseeable future unfortunately.

    No, you can't. Thank you for asking.

    This is a great option, Bob.

    Also, check your downloads folder.  If you're using Firefox, the download saves to My Documents –> Downloads, assuming you're using Windows.

    It is difficult to have two units overlapping.  It sounds as if both groups are dealing with frustrating circumstances.

    If circumstances around you aren't going to change (like stopping the time overlap), you will have to adjust your expectations or schedule to work with your goals for your Primary students.  Since you have an expectation that primary children clean up, and that expectation causes traffic issues with the other unit, it seems reasonable to include that as part of your closing exercises.  In other words, the closing prayer is given at 11:55am, allowing 5 minutes to clean up. During that time, students are not released to parents, but they are helping you clean and tidy up.

    Can the placement of items in cabinets be moved around so that you have columns of storage instead of rows?

    Can you ask each teacher to choose a class president who cleans up their row when class is over each day?  Can older children move the smaller chairs?  What other ways can you use the children in Primary to tidy up the messes they make?  Many hands make light work, right?

    In the grand scheme of things, this is a minor annoyance. Be very cautious that you don't allow your frustration to affect your relationship with other servants in Christ.
