Boy Scout presentations in classrooms will begin at 9:00 on August 30th. These presentations will last around 5 minutes.
LEAP begins this week. Please see this updated roster. You do not need to mark these students absent. Students should wait on the benches outside the gym and will be sent to the buses first thing in the morning.
Regarding Attendance: PLEASE, if you get an email or phone call from a parent, we need you to share that information with Debbie before 9 a.m. At that point, Patti Benwell will be calling home to determine why the student is out. This will eliminate the need for Patti to call into your room. In addition, if you receive any messages that your students will not be attending Flyers Club, please let Debbie know so Flyers Club is not looking for this student.
Lunch: Please have students who want to use their water bottle for their drink at lunch to carry it with them to playground for recess and set it along the wall. This avoids the lunch baskets getting too heavy and too many students having to return to their classroom.
Bus Driver Day: Friday, September 1st is Bus Driver day. Feel free to create cards or something special to celebrate the drivers. We have 12 bus drivers this year.
Hats Off to You: We will be placing a card in your mailbox each week. Please take a moment to recognize a student. If you already have a system in your room, feel free to snap a picture and send it to us so we can come recognize them as well (no need to complete something twice).
Curriculum Nights:
- Tuesday, Aug. 29th: 6:00 1st grade / 7:00 2nd grade
- Thursday, Aug. 31st: 6:00 3rd grade / 7:00 4th & 5th grades

- PikMyKid: We will have handouts for you to give to parents and Liz and I will popping in to your class to explain the process of downloading the app and registering. Please show parents this video as a part of your curriculum night. It is less than 10 minutes and you can feel free to watch it here.

Emergency Red Backpacks: We will be ordering the materials you need for your red backpacks. In addition, we will be putting an emergency contact form in your mailbox so please add this to the red bag.

As you begin discussing the habits with your students, it might be helpful to organize your materials in their leadership binder. Some ideas include class mission statements, goal setting, reflections, and habits:
This week I attended a session on how we can support our young writers. I am challenging you to read this post and try it out this week. Check out the blogpost here to learn how writers can use google docs to turn speech into text. This feature allows our struggling writers to easily get their thoughts into draft format.
- ET Phone Home Challenge! I know many are still working to complete this task but a special thanks to all who have finished this week:
- Boyd
- McCoy
- Shaughnessey
- Hooper
- Hickel
- Tilley
Joy - Martin
- Leslie for all her work with the Eclipse. And a special thanks to the teachers for modifying your lessons and making the experience so exciting!
- Flexibility to all on the spontaneous fire drill.
