We are in our final 2 weeks of this school year! Below are some updates for this week at Haigh. I will continue to provide updated information about the end of this school year and plans for next year.

5th Grade Promotion-We are planning to have an “Alumni Promotion Ceremony” for this year’s 5th graders in the Spring of 2021. This will be a fun event where our current 5th grade students will be able to come back to Haigh for a night dedicated to them. – Our Haigh PTA is  also planning to have 5th grade Promotion Lawn Signs for your students. We will be in communication for the delivery or pickup of these signs to honor your student 🙂

TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE, WE WILL ONCE AGAIN USE THE DIRECTIONS BELOW:
Steps for pick up: For maximum protection we will be placing your students’ resources in a brown bag labeled with their First Name, Last Name, grade level and Teacher. Pick-up will be a drive through service. Grades K-1-2 will pick up using the Silvery Lane drop off lane. Grades 3-4-5 will pick up using the Coburn drop off lane. Parents please place a sign in your passenger window with the names of your student(s)(First Name, Last Name, Grade Level and Teacher. When you pull up to the grade level station, we will then place the brown bag of resources into your trunk and you will be all set 🙂  Returning Haigh Items-We will have bins set up for safety belts, classroom books, library books, etc..Please place items in a clear/plastic bag that is labeled with the classroom teacher’s name or library.  ***These items can be placed in your trunk and we will take out while placing your students brown bag of resources. ***Following these steps will keep everyone safe and healthy, thank you for your help and cooperation 🙂  
4th Card Marking Report Cards-This Friday, June 5th, 2020 will be the last day for assignments to be turned in for the 4th card marking. Report cards will be available online through your parent connect account and will also be mailed home during the week of June 15th- 19th. As a reminder, grades will look different for this report card. Your student will receive a grade of Meeting(M), Progressing(P), or Limited Participation(LP) for the different content standards and specials that were practiced. Life skills and other observations will not be graded due to not being in person for instruction and observations. 
Summer Content Practice-Please continue to have your Haigh students practice content over the Summer. Summer practice items can be found on our Haigh Website under Haigh Content Practice: click here . It is very important to have your students keep up with their Reading, Writing, and Math to prevent a Summer Slide with their academics. The following websites will also be available over the Summer for our Haigh Students: RAZ kids, Reading Eggs, Math Seeds, I-Ready, and Brainpop. Log in information will remain the same until the Fall School Year begins. 

Overall, I hope that everyone has a wonderful Summer! This has definitely been a school year to remember with all the changes that we have been through together. We will come back and continue to work together for the education and success of our Haigh Owls 🙂 I look forward to seeing all Haigh Families in the Fall and will continue to keep everyone updated over the Summer.   Please make sure that you are continuing to stay safe and keeping healthy. I hope that everyone has a great week!

Sincerely,

 Mr. Short
