Walking & Biking to School
Good afternoon,
As we continue to encourage healthy habits, we are increasing our corner coverage to encourage students to walk or bike to and from school. We are also actively trying to hire adult corner captains for before and after school.
Here are the list of corners that are currently covered to ensure your child’s safety:
1) Penn, Academy, and Madison – In front of Nowlin
2) Notre Dame, Grindley and Madison – North of Nowlin
4) Syracuse and Penn – West side of Nowlin
5) Grindley and Penn – One block east of Nowlin
Additionally, we will begin offering incentives for students to bike or walk to school. The items include the following American Made items: bike helmets, insulated water bottles, bike repair kits, bike lights and other such items.
Thank you,
Dr. Tynan
Reading Logs
Good morning
Students take a Reading Log home everyday where they record what they read, how long they read for and they need a parent signature for each day.
I have noticed some students Reading Logs have been signed in advance, meaning, there are parent signatures indicating that their child did their reading homework before the day has even happened. Please do not do this. Students reading every night will help them now and in the future while learning in school.
Thank you
Student assignment books
Good evening families
Students write down the daily agenda every morning in their assignment books. The daily agenda is the days schedule. Students do this for two reasons. One reason is so that they know the schedule and can be aware of what is coming next. Another reason is so you can be seeing what they do throughout the school day.
Students are also given 5-10 minutes at the end of everyday to write down their homework. Students are asked to write their homework on the lines underneath the daily agenda (schedule). I personally write the students homework on the board everyday. Students copy the words I’ve written on the board into their assignment books.
Students are asked to get their assignment books signed everyday. There is a line for a parent Signature everyday in their assignment books. I will begin checking this line to ensure a Signature this week. If you are not able to sign the assignment book on any given day, please leave me a message on Class Dojo so that I am aware that your child has attempted to get the book signed.
Thank you
