January 22

What a crazy week we had with this rainy weather. The poor kids were trapped inside all day long for most of the week but thankfully things cleared up a bit this afternoon and they we able to go outside for lunch and free play. Thank you to all the parents that were able to make it to last Friday’s performance of the Martin Luther King reader’s theater. They all did a wonderful job!

I have been asked to remind everyone about school arrival times. Students should not be arriving on campus before 8:15am since there is no yard duty supervision until this time. If your child does want to come to school early to play then you must accompany them to ensure the safety of all our students. On the flip side of this, it is important that all students be inside the classroom no later than 8:30am. Even a few minutes late can add up to a large amount of lost instructional time over a period of time. Lately we have had several students arrive late to school from our classroom which can be disruptive and puts them behind for the day. Thank you for your help on getting your child to school at the appropriate time.

A few reminders:
Please sign your child’s reading log each week and make sure that it is completed and turned in on Friday
Please help your child study for the weekly multiplication facts quiz, it is given each Thursday
Please sign the Friday Folder and return it on Monday morning
Please take the time to read and respond to your child’s Home-School Journal each week and return on Monday
