Ivan Green Summer Update

Dear Ivan Green Families:

This newsletter is filled with videos for you and your Ivan Green student. I hope you find them helpful. We will be mailing placement letters out of our office next Friday, August 11. If you do not receive a letter by the following Monday, please give us a call.

Mrs. Collins and I have been busy at school preparing for the next school year. Many of our teachers have been engaged in curriculum writing and professional development, while several have been teaching summer school at Helendale.

Construction crews are making great progress on our summer work, and we are excited to soon be able to share pictures with you. As a reminder, classrooms are getting a facelift with some fresh new white boards and tack board, and their Promethean boards will be mounted. We are renovating some staff bathrooms, updating the concrete at our entrance, doing all sorts of electrical work, and even adding air conditioning to our cafeteria. The finished product will be worth all the dust and noise we have encountered this summer.

We look forward to seeing everyone soon. Until then, enjoy the beauty of sweet summer days!

Sincerely,
Lucas Hiley, Ed.D.

Principal

Please enjoy this introductory video. There have been some staff changes since the production of this video, but it certainly highlights our programs and commitment to your children.

August 11 - Placement letters mailed from school

September 5 - Meet and Greet and Popsicles on the Playground from 2:00-3:00

September 6 - First day of School!

The Ivan Green school day is from 9:00 to 3:30.

Students cannot be dropped off early - no earlier than 9:00. There will be NO supervision until 9AM.

No pick-ups will take place between 2:45 and 3:20. This allows our office staff to keep accurate records. This means that if you have to get your child early, then the pick-up needs to happen prior to 2:45.

Students are welcome to get breakfast on their way into school.

All students will have a 45 minute special each day. We rotate through a six day cycle. Each six days will provide three physical education classes, a music class, an art class, and a library class with book selection.

Students will eat and have recess in a 40 minute block. Lunch and recess are supervised by monitors. Each class is assigned one monitor, the same one each day.

This video applies to anyone getting dropped off for a full day of school - UPK through second grade. Our half-day UPK students follow a different procedure, which will be shared by the teacher.

Students can be dropped off between 9:00 and 9:15.

Here are a few reminders about picking students up from Ivan Green:

• You must have identification and be on the "approved" list.
• Students must be on the list in order to be picked up. Please call by 1:30
• We do not dismiss students between 2:45 and 3:20.
