February 23 - February 27

Our school met our goal for the parent survey! Thank you to everyone that took the survey.  It will be a great help to us next year during federal monitoring.
We will have our Gotcha party this week! 
If you would like to order a yearbook, the last day to get them at $28 will be Friday.  After Friday, they will go up to $30. These are a great keepsake for your child's year!
We will be taking one more field trip this year!  We will be going to the zoo Thursday, March 19.  We will be sending home the permission slip and letter Monday.  The cost for students is $13.50 and the cost for chaperones is $15.00.  These prices include admission and train ticket.  These are the discounted prices! Please consider going with us as a chaperone.  We always need a lot of chaperones on the zoo field trip! Money is due Thursday, March 12.  This will allow us time to get our tickets before the day of the trip and have them sorted and ready to go.  This will make the day go a lot smoother! Please have your child's permission slip and payment into us by the 12th.
Next week is Dr. Seuss week!  This is always a fun week.  A schedule of events was sent home last week.  You can also see the list on the right side of this page and they will also be on your child's calendar.  We will have the book fair back in the lunchroom.  The PTO will have Reading Night Tuesday night at 6:00.  They will begin serving pizza at 5:30.  A reservation form was sent home last week also.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to let us know!
  We hope you all have a great week!

February 17 - February 20

We hope you all had a great long weekend!
Thank you to everyone who sent in items for our Valentine parties.  Thank you also for all of the special treats! We had a fun day!
Progress Reports were sent home last Thursday.  Please review, sign, and return them as soon as possible. 
We also sent home a letter last week about our next field trip!  We will be going on a field trip to see Charlotte's Web at the Davis Theater in April.  However, we have to order tickets in advance so we need the money turned in by February 20th, THIS FRIDAY! Please consider going with us on our trip!
The PTO is started their coke fundraiser two weeks ago and it's lasting until Friday, the 20th. The date has been extended.  This is a big fundraiser for the PTO!  It helps fund Spring Fling in April and also helps them to honor grants requests from teachers and grade levels.  Please consider supporting the school in this fundraiser! 
The PE Department will begin selling Dr. Seuss t-shirts this week.  We will wear these the first week in March for Dr.Seuss week.  Money and orders are due Wednesday.  T-Shirts are $10!
Our school also has a parent survey that we need you to complete online.  It is really important for us because we will have Federal Monitoring next year and this survey will be one of the things they are looking at.  We have extra computers in the Parent Resource Room at school if you do not have access to a computer at home.  Please send us a note letting us know you completed the survey.  If our class has 80% participation we will get a movie pass to watch a movie one afternoon. You can follow this link to complete the survey:
