M-Step for 5th graders will begin the week we return from Spring Break.  Students will test every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in the morning for ELA, Math, Social Studies, and Science.  It is important that your child eat a healthy breakfast, get a good night’s sleep, attend school on time, and bring a water bottle to school with them during these testing days.  It would be greatly appreciated if you did not schedule any appointments for your child to miss school during these testing dates.  Testing for 5th grade will be three weeks, then fourth graders will begin testing for M-Step the week of April 30th.

Literacy Night

Dear Parents/Guardians,

We need all Little Caesars Pizza Kit Fundraising Sheets and money (Checks made out to Snow School) to be turned in to Ms. Sherlock’s room or mailbox by the end of the day Tuesday, March 27th. Every little bit helps!  Thanks to all who have turned them in thus far.  If everyone could at least sell one kit it would help our upcoming 5th graders tremendously as they make their trip to Camp Pinewood in the fall.

With Appreciation,
TEAM 5th Grade

This year’s Tigers game will take place on Wednesday, May 2, 2018 from 12:00-4:45 pm. Your child has been working so hard this year at their service rooms and safety post. Mr. Moyer and I would like to reward them by taking them to a Tigers game at Comerica Park.

We are in need of some extra parent support, If you would like to chaperone please sign up using the sign up genius link below. We were only issued so many tickets first come first serve. Your ticket will be  free of charge.The students and teachers will be taking a bus to Comerica, unfortunately with the limited number of seats, chaperones will have to meet/ follow the bus downtown. Carpooling recommended.

To chaperone you need to have your background check completed by April 12th. This can be done in the office with our secretary Michelle. Thank you for all your help and support!!

GO TIGERS!!!

Ms. Sherlock and Mr. Moyer
