March 30-April 3

This week will be a short week.  We will have an early dismissal on Holy Thursday at 12:30.  There will be no extended care so please be prompt in picking up your child.  There will be no school from April 3-April 12.  School will resume on Monday, April 13th. 

Wednesday we will be having free dress in Honor of Mercy's Birthday.  You will need to bring in a dollar for free dress and the money will be sent to the SPCA.


This week we will be having a Social Studies test on the state seal on Wednesday.  This is not the standard test it is just to test the knowledge of the state seal.  We are just beginning the Chapter and I like when the students are able to identify the state seal. Your child has the study guide and we are studying in class.

We will be having our Science test on Unit C Chapter 2 on Thursday.  We have been studying in class along with the study guide that was sent home. 


Thank you and I wish you a Blessed Easter!!

March 16-20


This week we will be having conferences from Tuesday thru Friday.  Monday will be a regular day from 8-2:30 and Tuesday thru Friday will be early dismissal at 12:30.

Report cards have went home and need to be signed and returned this week.  Please understand that we are well on our way through the school year.  We only have one quarter left and some students are still having a very difficult time in certain subjects.  Study guides are being sent home and need to be signed.  In doing so you should be taking the time to go over the questions with your child.  We are also doing our part in class to study a few days before the test.  Most students have been improving however their is still a few that will need continual support at home.  Another thing that needs to be addressed is the amount of students who do not put their name on their work.  Beginning this week if they do not put their name they will be sitting out part of their recess and writing their name 20 times to ensure they do not forget the next time.  I know this sounds silly but with 34 students and usually the same students it is very difficult for me to figure out who's paper belongs to who without taking out class time. Late work will also only be accepted if the student has an excused absence or the following day.  Any work that is turned in after the following day will result in a participation grade.  Thank you for your time and cooperation.   

I will be sending home a form for those parents who said they are able to drive and help out at the Farm Safety day on April 30th.  Please fill out the forms and return as soon as possible.

We have been doing a significant amount of writing in class.  I will be sharing some of these with you during conferences.
