Week of 9/13/21

We hope you had a wonderful Labor Day with your loved ones.  The rain this week brought some much-needed reprieve from the heat and the fires.  We found ourselves so grateful for the dip in temps and the fresh, clean air.  The students loved it too!

THANK YOU to all of you that came out and bought from Snowie King.  We were able to raise another $148 for our school.  You are an amazing community and we thank you! 

School Site Council:

We are in need of 1-2 parents to serve on the School Site Council.  If you are interested please read through this slide deck.  Reach out to Julie Murdaugh with any questions or to express interest.  

Art Docent Program:

We need you! Are you interested in being involved in your child’s classroom?  You can fill this out Art Docent Volunteer Interest Form or you can shoot your child’s teacher a quick email.  Our Art Docent lead, Holly Cuthbertson, will train you and help you with all that you need.  Everything is provided for you and the lessons are planned out.  You don’t need any experience...just a can-do attitude and a smile.  

Volunteer training:

Mrs. Phillipson and Senora Neira are leading volunteer training this week on Wednesday from 12:45-1:15.  Please let your child’s teacher know if you are interested in attending.  We only have a limited number of volunteers who have been cleared so far.  We are working on having another training later in the fall.  If you are one that HAS BEEN CLEARED, please plan on attending.  

IB Corner:

September: Principled

Students who are PRINCIPLED have a sense of fairness and are honest with

themselves and with others.  They understand that sometimes there are rules and they follow them.  

How can families help at home?

• Teach and model for your child what it looks like to be a respectful winner or loser in a game.   

• Acknowledge your child when they tell the truth even though they know it will get them in trouble.  

Reminder: EARLY RELEASE Mondays at 2:00

School gets out at 2:00 every Monday this year.  This is for teachers to work in collaborative groups and is crucial to our success.  Thank you for making transportation arrangements for your child to be picked up on time on Mondays.  

 

Picture Day:

Picture day is scheduled for 9/16/21.  This is not a PE day so please don’t worry about this impacting your child taking pictures.  We will NOT be doing a class photo due to safety.  The class photo will be a composition of individual photos.  Fliers came home last week and you can also order online at Lifetouch using the code on your flier.
