Hello families! Just a few announcements to end this short week!
- Field Trip: Permission slips are coming home for a Feb 5th field trip to see “The Lion King – Mufasa”. Please return with money by January 31st.
- Cell Phone Use: Students are managing their cell phone use wonderfully in the classroom. Having a cell phone and being able to talk to friends is a very age appropriate activity and one that I encourage. Part of having a cell phone is being responsible with it, and following whatever guidelines you as a family have set up, along with school policies, etc. It has been brought to my attention however, that students are borrowing cell phones from other students when they don’t have one. This seems to be taking place on the bus, so while I can’t control what happens outside of Hype, I encourage you to speak to your student about not letting others borrow their phone. This is also a very important life skill as students work towards independence and leaving our program. They could easily be taken advantage of should the wrong person get a hold of their phone. Unless there is an emergency, they should not be handing their phone over to anyone.
- Cooking and Breakfast: Next week we will be back to cooking and having breakfast in the classroom on Friday’s. We will have pancakes for breakfast and making grilled cheese later in the day. Students should still bring snacks and fruits and vegetables to supplement their meal.
