We made it to the last week of school before the break! It’s hard to believe it’s here ! We will continue our regular schedule this week. On Friday we will celebrate with a pizza lunch and a spirit contest! (Details below)
Thank you for your patience these last few weeks as we have been short staffed due to illnesses. When we are working with the students, we cannot always answer the phone immediately, so if you are here to pick up and student and we don’t reply within a few minutes, please feel free to come up to the room to pick them up.
Speaking of illness, there does seem to be something going around the room. Over half of our class is out again today. This is just a friendly reminder to please keep your son/daughter home if they aren’t feeling well. If a student has a runny nose, cough, sore throat, fever, etc. they should stay home. Not only is your student unproductive when they arrive, they are also passing germs on to other students and staff. Our students LOVE school and never want to miss, so if they tell you they are sick and want to stay home – believe them!
Also, due to the number of illnesses in the room, we will be keeping this years Christmas celebration low key. We don’t want to encourage students to try to attend when maybe they are not feeling well and should stay home. It’s hard to miss a party! We will still celebrate – but we will save our big celebration for our picnic at the end of the year.
Upcoming Dates:
- December 23 – Last day of school before the break. Pizza lunch – no cost. One of the the bus drivers (Cheryl) generously donated mini cans of soda for the students. If they would like something additional – please send it to school with their snack. Students may bring a snack for a special Christmas movie in the afternoon. Spirit contest – wear red, green, or a Christmas sweater. Student who is the most “decorated” may win a prize! We will be competing with Mrs. Kings class!!!! One winner from each class!
