The Snow Forecast #3

Band and strings begin this week! Strings will be on Monday/Wednesday & band will be Tuesday/Thursday, with both beginning at 8:25. Please drop your child off between 8:00-8:20. Students can enter the building at the ramp entrance.

Regular drop off begins when you see an adult with a yellow vest on the playground. Prior to that (at 8:40), students are not allowed on the playground, as there are no adults to monitor them. Thank you!

For:

• Mileage club at recess time (11:30-12:15)

NWEA State Assessments are this week. We will take them in both reading & math, starting on Tuesday. It is important that your child get plenty of rest, have a good breakfast, and be on time to school (we begin at 9:10). The assessments are taken 3 times per year- September, January, & May and helps us know what your child's strengths are and what areas we can teach them in during those subjects.

Thank you to the PTO for holding our Scholastic Book Fair! The students love browsing the many items that are available and buying new books. It is a great fundraiser for our school and let's us do many things, like field trips, have artists come to us, and purchase items that our teachers need.

We meet every second Wednesday, at 5:30, in the Mary Snow gym, if you would like to join us!

When students are dysregulated, whether at recess or during class, we might ask them to do a couple laps at recess time on our "Refelction Route". This gives time to help students calm down, reset, or think about how to successfully re-enter a game or the classroom. This is not meant as a punishment, but about giving space to time to reflect.
