Thank you to all the parents who are volunteering for tonight's Fun Fair. This event requires a great deal of planning and time. We are looking forward to another fantastic night!
Conferences are next week. If you have not yet signed up for a conference time with your child’s teacher please do so. Our PTO will be providing child care on Thursday from 12:30-7:00 pm. Conferences are an excellent time to check in on students’ progress and how you can support their learning at home.
Reminder: Half Day Dismissal (11:00am) on Thursday, 2/8 and Friday, 2/9 due to conferences.
This Monday, February 5th our Kindergarteners will celebrate the 100th day of school. Be sure to wish your student a happy 100th day!
If the temp or wind chill is in the single digits we stay inside, but we do try to have students outside whenever possible, and our students move within the classroom constantly. Please make sure students are dressed for both weather and physical activity as there are lots of opportunity for movement in our students’ day both indoors and outside. Thank you!
The 4th Annual Spring Arts Fiesta is just a few short months away! Please mark your calendars for the 1st-3rd grade show on Wednesday, May 9th and the 4th -5th grade show on Thursday, May 10th. Please note all k-5th students will have an artwork in the gallery and all 1st-5th grade students will participate in the music and language performances. See attached flyer.
