NEWS & INFORMATION NEWS & INFORMATION

HAPPY FRIDAY!


We made it through another week, giving us five more school days until winter break! We spent the week enjoying our #12DaystilBreak countdown and doing lots of learning! We ended the week with Spark Day. “Sparks” describe interests and skills that “light fires” in our lives. They provide energy, joy, purpose, and direction in life. They are engaging and deeply motivating. Sparks are the hidden flames in your kids that light their fire, get them excited, and tap into their true passions.


Thank you to all of the community folks who came in and presented their sparks to our students. It was a great day! Ask your child about what they got to do today!


Our second graders performed A December Celebration on Tuesday night and did an amazing job! Thank you to Mr. Menezes for organizing and planning and Mrs.French for the fabulous artwork on display!



As a reminder please remember to send your students into school with their coats as the weather is starting to turn colder as we enter the winter months. Please be sure to label your students coat so if it were to be lost we can get it back to your student. We have had quite a few students come to the office for coats during recess. If you need assistance with getting your child a coat this winter please reach out to our school social worker Chrissy at rolfesc@talawanda.org.


PICK UP

To help ensure students arrive at their correct dismissal location, we kindly ask that you contact the main office by 2:30 PM if there are any changes to your child’s dismissal plan. While we understand that emergencies can happen, we’ve noticed a significant increase in last-minute changes around 3:00 PM, which can cause confusion and delays. By notifying us by 2:30 PM, we can make sure your child receives a dismissal note and reaches the right spot after school. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.

Staff Retirement Announcement Staff Retirement Announcement
