Main Road Weekly Update

The week of December 1st began with a positive shirt day district wide. We always enjoy wearing positive shirts on the first Tuesday of each month to set the tone for a great month. For December, the core value that aligns with Main Road School is Gratitude. This is the time of year for students to reflect and be thankful for their experiences. Students will earn Inverso Incentive dollars this month by showing gratitude. These dollars will be cashed in weekly during their lunch at the Inverso Emporium. On December 4th, we had our Holiday Sock Day in which staff and students participated in wearing fun and festive socks. We ended the weke with a PTO fundraiser with Hat Day. This will occur monthly, the first Friday of each month, where students bring in $1.00 and can wear a hat. All money goes to PTO.

Next week we are looking forward to our Holiday Shops during the school day. Thank you for our parent volunteers that will be helping students purchase items when their homeroom class comes down to shop. On December 12th, we will host our Family Shopping Night and also have a PTO fundraiser of Holiday pictures available for families. The photo shoot will be set up in the cafeteria and will cost $5.00 for the image.

Please feel free to reach out to the PTO with any fundraising ideas you may have, as well as opportunities to get involved within our school community. Our next PTO Meeting will be Tuesday, December 9th at 7:00 PM.

Please refer to the Realtime Parent Portal to look at updated grades as it is now the end of the trimester. The end of Trimester 1 is December 4th and grades will be posted for parents on the Realtime Parent Portal December 11th at 12 PM.
