Pirate Gram

Homecoming Spirit Week: This week is Homecoming Spirit Week with Homecoming on Friday evening! We encourage students to dress up and enjoy the spirit days! If you do not have plans for Friday night, come support the Pirates as they play Purdy in basketball at 6 PM!

Tuesday: "Nerds and Smarties" Day: Dress like a nerd or a smartie!

Wednesday: "Taste the Rainbow" Day: Wear Class Colors

Preschool/6th Grade/Seniors- Blue

5th Grade/Juniors - Green

4th Grade/Sophomores - Purple

3rd Grade/Freshman- Red

2nd Grade/8th Grade - Black

Kindergarten, 1st Grade/7th Grade - White

Thursday: "Rolo Out of Bed" Day: Wear your pajamas!

Friday: "I've Got a Golden Ticket" Day: Wear blue and gold for the day and game!

AMI Work Update: Thank you to the families who ensured their students completed their AMI work packets. Remember, if your student does not turn in the completed packet, he or she will be counted absent for that day.

iReady Incentive: Students got to tape Dr. Rogers to the wall during lunch on Friday. The smiles students had getting to contribute to this challenge were abundant. It isn't every day one gets to duct tape an adult to the wall!

Boys & Girls Club: Boys & Girls Club is now able to enroll five-year-olds who are in kindergarten! When they first opened, students had to be six-years-old to enroll in the Club! We hope this change will help more families! Remember, it only costs $30 per student for the entire school year for care directly after school until 7 PM and all day Mondays!

Still Important...

Concession Stand Help Needed: CSCO needs help with the concession stands for the Jr. High Volleyball season. If you would like to help out the organization which helps our kids, please sign up here for a night in the concession stand!

Valentine's Parties: Valentine's Parties will be on Tuesday, February 14 at 2:30 PM for each classroom besides our three-year-old preschool class, which will have their party at 10:00 AM. Your child's teacher will be letting you know what is needed for these parties soon!

Balloons and Flowers: With Valentine's Day approaching, we wanted to remind everyone that students who ride a school bus from school will not be allowed to bring balloons or glass flower vases on the bus. If your child receives these items at school (any day, but certainly on Valentine's Day), he/she will not be able to take them home on the bus so you will need to make arrangements to either pick the items up or your student up.

Student Absences: If your child is absent from school for any reason, please call the office to let us know. The phone number is 417-723-5300 ext. 902.

Alternative Method of Instruction (AMI) Packets: Please keep your child's AMI packet in a safe spot. This work will only need to be completed if we have to miss school and announce a day as an AMI day. If we do miss a day, then that corresponding day's work will be due the next day we are in session. If we miss on the day your child has PE, then he or she should complete the PE special's class assignment.

Breakfast: If your child is a parent drop off each morning and wants to eat breakfast at school, he/she needs to be dropped off no later than 7:40 AM. We have had a few come after 7:45 and they do not have time to get to breakfast before being counted tardy for class.

SNAP and Medicaid Application Assistance: If you would like assistance in applying for SNAP or Medicaid, then please call the Elementary office so we can help you set up an appointment with someone who can help you complete the process. If you would like us to send home applications for you to complete on your own, we can do that too. Just give us call and let us know how we can help! 417-723-5300 ext 902.
