Happy New Year

We hope everyone had a safe and restful holiday.  We look forward to getting back on track and making a lot of academic progress these next few months before the CRCT in April.  Martin Luther King Holiday is January 19 and conferences are coming up on January 26.  We will be letting out two hours early that whole week to accommodate conferences.  If you would rather have a phone conference, please let us know.  As always, our door is always open.  Let us know if we can help in any way.

Dear Parents,

As we are settling into fall, we want to give you a few reminders. 

1. Report cards have gone out.  If you have questions, feel free to call up to the school or write us a note.  We can meet with you at your convenience.  Please return the report card signature card and envelope.

2. With the holidays approaching, please try to keep your child on as much of a schedule as possible.  It makes our days at school go much smoother.

3. If your child is out sick, please remember to send in a note for our records.

4. Because our lunch is late, we have many hungry children at snack time.  Please provide them with a healthy snack to eat.

Boosterthon Money

Parents,

Just a few days left to collect the money for the Boosterthon fundraiser.  All monies are due on Thurs., Aug. 28.  The fundraiser was so much fun.  The money collected will make it a great success.  We also need any unwanted small toys for our treasure box (happy meal toys etc.)  Remember one man's trash is another man's treasure.  Thank you for all you do.

Welcome

     We are so happy to have your children in our class.  We had a great turn out for our Open House last evening.  If you could not attend, any information you missed will be sent home today.  Let us know if you have any questions.  If you were not at our Open House and have an e-mail address you could share with us, please send that to school with your child.  Thank you!

     Our field trip to the Georgia history Museum is coming up on the 26th of Sept.  If you haven't signed and returned the permission slip, please do so as soon as possible. 

     Our Boosterthon is tomorrow between 10:30 and 11:45.  Please join us if you can.  Remember to get all your pledges returned to the school by Aug. 28.  Thank you for your support of our Boosterthon.  It has been a great success so far.

We hope everyone had a great Labor Day Weekend.  Just a few reminders of upcoming events.

  • Sept. 11- our school fund raising activity ends, so keep selling wrapping paper until then. 
  • Sept. 13 is Picture Day.
  • Sept. 19 is an Early Release Day.  We will dismiss that day at 12:15. 

Please remember to check your child's backpack daily.  Many important papers are sent home in their take-home folders including their behavior /assignment sheets.  These papers often need to be signed and/or returned.  Also please remember to send in a healthy snack with your child.  Lunch is at 12:00.  It makes for a long morning without a snack.  Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.
