Image result for reminders

Hi everyone,

I know this is a super busy time of year, so I just wanted to send out a few reminders to help everyone plan ahead and get things in order 🙂

  1. The Social Studies Diversity packet that was sent home early last week was due today. This packet is a portion of their social studies test – so if it is not turned back into me, your student will receive a zero for that portion of the test. The first grade teachers decided that it would be more meaningful if that part of the test was done at home so you and your family could have a conversation about the special things you do together. We will be taking the test on Wednesday – after that, I will not be able to accept any of those packets. If you have not already turned them in, please complete them and send them in ASAP. Thanks for your understanding and help to get this done!

    **I will not be sending home a study guide for this test – it is pretty simple and we have done plenty of studying and reviewing in class that I feel confident that your student will do well without a study guide.

  2. Although it’s not official, winter is here! Please make sure your child is coming to school with a hat and gloves. The district policy is 20 degrees for recess, but it is always up in the air. Sometimes it’s colder in the mornings and warms up by lunch time, so the kids are able to go outside. Students cannot go outside without a winter coat and proper winter gear.
  3. SAVE THE DATE! Our holiday party is coming up! All are welcome to attend our holiday party on Friday, December 22nd from 8:45-10:30 🙂
  4. Mondays are library book check out – if your child does not bring their book back from the previous week, they cannot check out a new one.
  5. Unit 3 Math Tests were sent home last week – please review with your child, sign and send back to school. We keep these tests in a data growth folder and it’s nice for the kids to be able to see how they’ve done. If you have not returned the unit 3 test, please do so tomorrow. Thanks!
  6. Our December PBIS party will be the Haigh Movie Theater! We have over 10 movies to choose from and the kids will have a chance to visit a different classroom to see the movie of their choice. Please remind your child of positive behaviors that are encouraged in the classroom, cafeteria, playground, hallways, specials, etc. so they can attend the PBIS party next week 🙂 Students must have less than 5 dojo points deducted in order to attend the PBIS party.

I think that is it for now! Thanks for all of your help and support!

Have a great night and stay warm!

Ms. Otto
