Read with a Loved One & RRW

Hello Parents,

Here are two quick updates as we head into the weekend!

Don't forget to look for your link for 99 Pledges for our Falcon Dash Fundraiser that kicks off today!

Looking forward to seeing you at Trunk or Treat tonight! And also, GO Dodgers!!!

Please join your Falcon for an opportunity to Read with a Loved One in the classroom this Friday, after our character parade and Friday flag assembly. We are planning to hold Read with a Loved One each month, (generally the last Friday of the month), after our Friday flag assembly. This is a new "tradition" for us. We have a vision for how this will look and roll out, but of course there is always a learning curve. As both educators and parents ourselves, we believe strongly that reading with our elementary age students is one of the BEST things we can do to help our children become successful students both today and in their future. Thank you for joining us in this new, fun activity! Our hope is that it becomes a time both you and your child look forward to each month, or in my case as a working parent, at least a few times a year. :)

Here are some important guidelines:

• Plan to join us for the flag assembly that begins at approx. 8:25 am.
• At the end of the assembly, wait for students to exit the assembly with their class and THEN walk to their classroom to read with your Falcon.
• You will read inside the classroom, or possibly outside, as directed by the teacher.
• You are welcome to bring a story from home to read with your child, or the teacher will have some available in the classroom to choose from as well.
• If you have more than one Falcon, you can choose to read for a few minutes in each room, until the announcement is made that RWALO has concluded; (eg. 2 students = 10 min in each room) OR you may choose to read one month with one child, and the next month with another child.
• As with every Friday assembly, you will go directly to the assembly and NOT need to sign in at the office.
• You will need to leave campus once the announcement has been made that RWALO is over.
• Have fun and enjoy reading with your Falcon!

Costume Guidelines and Parade Protocol

Please take a moment to read the linked document for our costume guidelines and parade protocol. All students will go to their class line when the bell rings and will go to class with their teacher. Classes will join the parade, and end up at our Friday assembly, as designated by the parade route that the teachers will follow. Parents will watch the parade from the blacktop. After the our regular Friday flag assembly, classes will be dismissed back to their rooms and then we will ask parents to join them. Please wait to go to classrooms AFTER classes leave the flag assembly area.
