Fall Pictures- Retakes

Please take a look at the revised schedule for retakes and class photos.

We will be taking a staff photo on 12/11 at 7:45 in front of the school, Wear your spirit shirt.

Retakes are for any students or staff that:

-Were absent on original day

-Are new to our school

-Purchased a package and requesting a retake (original package must be returned)

-School requests retake for reason (out of uniform, bad picture ….)

Mrs. Zamora has SIT cards for students who were absent on the original picture day.

Please send students with their SIT cards, those who need to retake their picture, and any new students to the media center. Include each student's name, grade, and ID number on a sticky note.

If you're unsure whether one of your students had their picture taken on the original day, please see Mrs. Zamora.

Please meet on the big playground for class/ club pictures.

Kudos to:

• ALL the teachers who tested students this week and made them feel safe and comfortable in their testing environments.

• Mrs. Hart for creating notes of encouragement and snacks for each and every 5th grade student testing. One student said that his snack was magic!

• Mrs. Dolores for organizing all of our family events, including Science Night and Shopping with the Mets. It was so nice to see the smiling faces of the students and families.

• Mr. Tobin for preparing the student art portfolios. What a great addition to the SLC binders.

• Mr. Reif and Mrs. Gieseler for facilitating testing. It is not an easy task and you are flexible when it comes to making changes.

• Ms. Felix for finding ways to reach your students, even if it is a difficult topic.

• Ms. Trapp for making teaching videos for students to access in Canvas. Visual learning can be done at their own pace.

• Ms. Wyche for making your classroom a warm and inviting place for students and for incorporating fun math activities.

• Mrs. Pizzarello for organizing and sending reminders about Secret Santa.

• Mrs. Stapleton for welcoming new students to your classroom and making them feel comfortable.

• Mrs. Scarlett for all things UFLI. Your commitment to learning and training this new program is admirable.

• Mr. Ryne for pressure cleaning my portable over break. It's nice to see it so clean!

Sending special thanks to the caring adults who came to my room to sit with students and allow them to show off their work during Student Led Conferences. They are Mrs. Gaites, Mrs. Carmen Bonalde, Ms. Maria and Ms. Forbes. The students were so happy to speak with you. To top it off, Ms. Forbes sponsored five students (I know of) shopping. You made many students happy, and I want to extend special thanks to you all.
