Dressing For the Weather
As the temperatures begin to drop, please keep in mind the following District guidelines.
If the real feel is below 20 degrees at morning arrival or if conditions are unsafe (ie. ice on the blacktop) we will have indoor line up.
If the real feel is below 10 degrees at lunch/recess or if conditions are unsafe, we be indoors.
On days that we are outside, please dress your child for the weather. If there is snow, students must have BOTH snowpants and boots to be on playgrounds and in fields. If students do not have both of these items, they must remain in the cleared off blacktop/concrete areas.
Lunches in the Office
Just a gentle reminder that all lunches that are delivered to students must be in the office by 11:10. This is the time the office updates the information for teachers so they know to send students to pick up lunches. Once students head outside at 11:20, it is often difficult to reach them when they are playing to notify them that their lunch has arrived.
PBIS Pit Stop 🛑
PBIS helps students develop the problem-solving skills they need to make positive choices, navigate challenges, and build healthy relationships. By explicitly teaching and reinforcing expectations, students learn to recognize problems, consider their options, think about the impact of their actions, and choose appropriate solutions. Through PBIS, we are not just teaching students what behaviors are expected; we are equipping them with the skills to become independent, responsible problem-solvers both in and out of the classroom.
PTO News
Penguin Patch is right around the corner, and we need YOUR help to make this year the best one yet!
Where: Cooke Magnet School
When: November 30th – December 5th
Penguin Patch is a pop-up holiday store that gives students the opportunity to shop for affordable gifts for their family and friends. It's a fun way for kids to experience the joy of giving while picking out something special for the people they love!
How can you help? Volunteers will assist students with shopping, help them check out and purchase their gifts, and wrap their special finds to take home. Volunteering is a great way to build our Cooke community while supporting our staff and students.
BONUS! Volunteers earn credit toward student registration fees! For every volunteer hour, a $20 credit will be applied toward existing fees. Interested in helping or have questions? Please reach out. We'd love to have you join us!
