Something to Yelle About

WE ARE MEETING ALL

CHALLENGES IN HAYNation!

Hello from the Yelle.

It might have been a short week here, but even in four days our students crushed it this week in #HAYNation!

In the big picture above, which I use each week as a way to highlight and show what we were able to accomplish during the week, there are pictures of students writing out their thir thinking, playing math games, and dropping their egg in their designed and built contraption. In the middle row you see our two top classes for each grade (Mrs. Carline's and Ms. Fine's) for ST Math puzzle completion for the month of September; our students are doing such a great job practicing their problem-solving and critical thinking skills. The bottom row has a couple of pictures from our indoor recess game playing. you see how our students are doing so incredibly well in everything they are learning. Lastly, there is a picture of this week's #PositiveSignThursday with some smiling faces and the message in how our Students Are Seeing Challenges As Opportunities as they meet the learning that greets them each and every day so far in #HAYNation!

These and the other pictures below that I have snapped throughout the week in and around the classrooms really do relay a story of the phenomenal accomplishments our students and teachers achieved this week. Please check them out below and all over our Instagram feed to help to tell the tremendous story we are writing this year.

We hope to see you at Conferences!

We are using ParentSquare for Elementary Fall Conference Sign-ups

When a parent/guardian logs into ParentSquare, they can view their children in the upper left of the screen or top of the app. They will see all children associated with their ParentSquare account even if their child is at another school. If they have multiple children, they will be able to view all posts associated with one child at a time. They can move between children simply by clicking on another child from the list.

For school conferences, parents/guardians will need to sign up with each teacher they would like to meet with during conferences. For example, a parent/guardian might want to meet with the classroom teacher and the Art teacher. They would need to sign up for separate conference times with both teachers. Look under “MY SCHOOL, CLASSES, and GROUPS” to find all classes associated with your child.

All elementary conference sign-ups will be available beginning on Wednesday, October 7th at 10AM in ParentSquare.

Look for a post from your child’s teacher where you will be able to select the time that works best for your schedule.

Wednesday, October 21 – Yelle Fall Parent-Teacher Conferences 5 to 7:45 PM

Thursday, October 22 – ½ Day for Parent-Teacher Conferences 11:40 Dismissal

Thursday, October 22 – Yelle Fall Parent-Teacher Conferences 12 Noon to 6 PM

Parents/guardians should have received an email invitation from ParentSquare to sign up to receive electronic school notifications prior to the beginning of the school year. If one wasn’t received, please reach out to Karen Winsper, kwinsper@norton.k12.ma.us who will assist.

THANK YOU to all that have already Signed up!

We still have some spots available for those available to help. Setup, Clean up and during conferences would be the most helpful.

Volunteers needed 10/16-10/22

Sign up for a class, a 2 hour shift or help setup and break down the event.

Sign Up Here!

Volunteers must have a current CORI on file. If you are unsure if your CORI is current, please contact Marisa Dean via email at mdean@norton.k12.ma.us.

Create your student's eWallet!

eWallet is a great way to send your student to school with Book Fair money and not worry about it getting lost on it's way to school.

Bonus! You can set it up now and you won't have to remember to send in money next week!

4th Grade will shop Tuesday 10/20

5th Grade will shop Wednesday 10/21
