Materials Pick Up for Y5 and Kindergarten

Families will be able to pick up their materials on Tuesday, September 1st beginning at 9:00 with students whose last names begin with A-G, 9:30 for H-N and 10:00 for letters O-Z.  We will be located on the blacktop area near the lower elementary/south playground.

This is different than 1st -5th grades who are picking up materials on Monday.

Mrs. Ruselink and Ms. Nettlow’s class will hold a Zoom meeting Monday morning at 9:00 a.m. Parents should have received an email. Please email Mrs. Ruselink if you did not get an invite.

Last Week of School!

Good morning families!

No new assignments this week. The students should have access to their IXL and Razz Kids account until the end of June. Feel free to practice as much as you can until the free subscription runs out.

I want to wish everyone a happy and safe summer. Thank you for being supportive, caring families. All of the students have made great progress this year. It doesn’t feel right not hugging each student goodbye. Please pass a hug along to them from me.

Keep reading, keep writing and keep practicing those sight words over the summer!

Please contact me with any questions you may have.

Keep in touch!

Love, Mrs. Ruselink

Reminder for Today, June 4th

Just a reminder that you can drop off school materials today!

Below are a few important pieces of information to be aware of:

  • Pick-up/Drop-off will occur on the South Playground (near Myrtle).  
  • There will be an area marked for each classroom teacher.  Student materials have been placed in brown paper bags and extra material in a plastic bag ready for pick up with your child’s name.  There will also be a basket with the teacher’s name there for you to drop off any classroom books/materials.  These items should be placed in a bag, clearly marked with your child’s name.  Please remember, some students have lots of items, so come prepared.  
  • In the lot, there will also be bins for you to drop-off:
    • library books
    • musical instruments
    • safety belts
    • service squad pins

Please clearly mark your child’s name on these items by either placing them in a bag or using a piece of masking tape.  

  • There will also be a table to pick up your child’s medicine, anything left will be disposed of according to policy.
  • If you have been collecting pop tabs, we will also have the box outside to collect those pop-tabs.
  • Yearbooks and Spring Pictures have come in, there will be a table set up for those.  5th graders will get their yearbook in their promotion bags.

There were only 4-5 students who had some items in their locker – so not everyone will have a brown paper bag.

Thank you!

From Ms. Tiba –


Dear Parents,

As the school year is coming to an end, we wanted to take this time to thank you for all of your continued support and understanding.  None of what we have accomplished could have been possible without the strong partnership we have as a community.  

Our plan this week is to have a day for material pick-up and drop-off.  The day is currently planned for Thursday, June 4th in the afternoon.  In order to maximize safety, we have assigned timings based on your child’s last name.  If your child’s last name begins with the letter A-M, the pick-up/drop-off time will be from 12:00-1:30pm.  If your child’s last name begins with the letter N-Z, the pick-up/drop-off time will be from 1:30-3:00pm.

We ask that students do not accompany adults and that we practice safety precautions at all times.  Please plan on coming with a mask on, practice social distancing and come in to pick up items and leave immediately.  We greatly appreciate your support in keeping everyone safe and healthy.

Below are a few important pieces of information to be aware of:

  • Pick-up/Drop-off will occur on the South Playground (near Myrte).  
  • There will be an area marked for each classroom teacher.  Student materials have been placed in brown paper bags and extra material in a plastic bag ready for pick up with your child’s name.  There will also be a basket with the teacher’s name there for you to drop off any classroom books/materials.  These items should be placed in a bag, clearly marked with your child’s name.  Please remember, some students have lots of items, so come prepared.

  • Yearbooks and Spring Pictures have come in, there will be a table set up for those.  5th graders will get their yearbook in their promotion bags.

Since this will all occur outside, we are hoping that the weather cooperates.  If things change, we will let you know.  

Have a wonderful day!

Ms. Tiba

Week of 5-25-20

Hello Y5 Families,

Assignments for Tuesday–Thursday are posted in Google Classroom with Friday for a “make-up” day or time for special classes.

No new sight word word this week. We are reviewing the old words until the end of the school year.

This week and next week will be the last 2 weeks of assignments. No assignments will be posted the last week of school (June 8th-11th) because all grades and report cards are due June 7th.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Hope everyone is enjoying the heat…….finally!

Have a good week!

Memorial Day Weekend

I hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend enjoying some time outside in the warmer temperatures.

Next week is also a short school week. There will only be assignments for 3 days with a “catch up” day.

The upper elementary teachers have returned to school to clean out student desks, materials and lockers.

Our class did not have desks and when I checked lockers back in March they were pretty cleaned out. Please let me know if you can think of anything that your student may have left in class.

Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
