10/23/16-10/29/16 Blog Post

The 4th Grade Field Trip was a great time.


Grades
We went over this at the staff meeting but a reminder grades need to be in PowerSchool by Tuesday, November 8th, the grades will be stored on November 9th, and the report cards can be printed on Thursday November 10th.

Character Assembly on Monday
A reminder to please email parents ahead of time letting them know their child has been selected for an award.  Also please make sure you are emailing them the pictures of their child, you, and Toto after the assembly.  We are doing teacher tunnel at the end.  We are doing it by the class that has been the most respectful and had the cleanest table in the lunchroom.  I will let you know on Monday which classes will be going through the teacher tunnel so you can give your class a heads up.

Thank you all again for the surprise and the wonderful books.

Harvest Parade
This will be included in the blog and sent as a separate email on Thursday:

The parade will take place out on the blacktop at 11:10-11:40. No masks, face paint or accessories with costumes (i.e. fake swords, etc.). Students must be able to sit at their desks and function in a classroom atmosphere. Of course, our greatest concern is for the safety of our students. Therefore, please closely supervise your child’s costume choice. Parents are welcome to come watch the parade!

Nice gift for my office from Diane and Luisa 


Umbrellas
On rainy days please do not send students up to the Multi with umbrellas. It makes it tough in the lunch room when they are trying to close them and blocking the way.  I know some will want it but it was a mess in there on Friday because of the umbrellas.
Learning more about composer John Williams and how music changes how we view movies.
