The mornings certainly have that fall feeling to them, and
the students come in energized by the cool air. Please remind them to wear
appropriate clothing for the temperature and remember to bring it home at the
end of the day. Students are settling into a routine and our fall assessments
have been administered. These assessments help us to plan our instruction to
meet the needs of all students. We will make it possible for all students to
have an incredible year. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate
to email, call or visit.
One of the most popular events of the year will take place
on September 24th. Starting at 5:30 the Carnival will be in full
swing. Games, food and prizes galore will keep everyone busy. Our PTA has
worked hard to obtain a wide variety of prizes from our generous community
businesses. Plan on joining the fun!
Our fifth grade students certainly recognize how important
regular attendance is. In addition to the increased learning students
experience as part of perfect attendance, if a fifth grade student has perfect
attendance for the entire year they will receive a mountain bike and a helmet
thanks to Phil Meador. The requirements will be detailed in a letter coming
home to parents.
We enjoyed seeing everyone at Back-to-School Night. We appreciate
your involvement and know what a difference you make in your child’s education.
As the school moves toward implementing the Common Core State Standards we
discussed at the meeting, you may want to visit http://www.pta.org/4446.htm for more information. We encourage you to
actively participate and volunteer as volunteers help to make the school a
better place while “maximizing learning for all students!”
We look forward to having a wonderful year together!
