Weekly Update 1.31.16-2.6.16


I don't know about you but the weather this weekend gave me some serious positive energy.  It reminded me that spring is coming and our time outdoors during the weekend is near.  I am going to make every effort this week to look at the positive, and I challenge you to join me.  February can be a hard month so let's start it right with a spirit day tomorrow!

National School Counselor Week is February 1-5.  February 5th -Lindbergh will celebrate Counselor's Day.  Please be sure to share the love for all that Mrs. Critchlow, Mrs. Geisz, and Mrs. Ronzio do for our school!

ELL Testing is happening this upcoming week.  Please remind students to be extra quiet when walking down the halls.

Thanks for entering your attendance on Friday!  I know it can be a pain to remember to do this daily.

Congrats to the following teacher grant winners: 4th grade team, Beth Seigfried, and Lindsay Marting.  A huge thank you to the Lindbergh Foundation for making this possible. Teachers were awarded funds for archery equipment, science tools, and self checking math center.

Learning Labs will be on Thursday in the PD room.  We will be processing the reading Units of Study and looking at student data.

3rd and 4th graders had a wonderful time at Ability Awareness day last week.  A special thanks to Stacy Zobrist, Tim Brooks, and Kate Pickett for organizing this very special day for our students.

A huge thank you to the following people who attended the PTG meeting this week:
Susan, Lisa, Liz, Jennifer, Beth, Leslie, Carrie, Adrienne, and Jean

Everyone enjoyed bingo night-especially Molly who did NOT want to leave.  A special thanks to Maurita Clark, Cindy Hood, and Drew Hrach for their efforts in organizing this event and thanks to Colleen Hooper and Hannah Shaughnessey for calling Bingo.  

Last Day of School is Friday, May 26
The recent snow day on Jan. 20 has shifted the last day of the 2015-16 school year to Thursday, May 26. The 26th will still be a half day for students. As a reminder, emergency makeup days are posted through Friday, June 3, to accommodate potential future school closings this winter. If we have any additional days off school, it will change the last day of school for students. The district's Google calendar and the official 2015-16 School Year Calendar reflect these changes.
