South Side News
Spring is upon us... hopefully!
* A lot of assessments and preparation for 3rd graders who will take the WYTOPP assessment in April are planned, please watch your student's Bloomz for announcements from your teacher.
A second soccer field has been set up to split the large number of players. We encourage those who are more competitive, advanced in skill or more experience to use the field with the smaller goals.
*We are excited to see our student's new toys and gadgets they received for Christmas. However, per school policy; all electronic devices (phones/watches/etc.) will be in backpacks turned off. Students may turn them on and have access at the end of the day. Many of these are a form of communication between parents/students. Texting and calling during the school day is a distraction. If you need to get a message to your student, please call the office.
*Please do NOT send toys to school with your students (check backpacks). We have had a number of "sticky hand" situations, fighting at recess, and distractions in class. No Legos, Pokémon cards, cars, stuffed animals, etc.
Behaviors on the playground, in line and often in the classroom have been a struggle for many students. Refusing to do what an adult asks is not an option, the adult is asking to assist in learning and safety. Consequences will be given here at school to help teach students expectations, please support your South Side teacher and staff when expectations are followed through.
Always remember, if you have a question or concern please reach out to your child's teacher or call the office!
