Curriculum Night

Each grade level will meet with their student’s teacher in their classroom during the following times:

5:30-6:30 EC & Kdg

6:00-7:00 Gr 1

6:30-7:30 Gr 2

7:00-8:00 Gr 3

7:30-8:30 Gr 4

8:00-9:00 Gr 5  (meeting in the MPRoom)

During the first 30 minutes, the teachers will present information regarding your student’s new classroom/grade level.  During the 2^nd 30 minutes, the teachers will be available for questions/answers, signing up for Parent Teacher Conferences, Room Parties, etc. 

If you have multiple students and their times overlap (ie Grade 1 & 2), you will be able to leave after the first 30 minute presentation in order to get to your next child’s classroom for that teacher’s presentation.

PTA Hospitality Room set up in the LMC all evening. 

Refreshments available, along with the opportunity to Join PTA, purchase Spirit Wear, pay classroom fees, & learn more about how to get involved.

WatchDOGS Calendar (DOGS – Dads of Great Students) will also be available in the LMC to sign up early for WatchDOG Dates!

Be SMARTER

Dear Parents,
We had an awesome start of the shool year this past week!  Thank you for sharing your children with us each and everyday!

I wanted to send a few reminders/announcements regarding arrival time.  Our regular school hours are 8:20am – 3:40pm. Students should not arrive before 8:10 am. Students arriving between 8:00 am and 8:10 am will wait outside on the school sidewalks for the first bell to ring (unless it is raining or the wind chill is below 19 degrees). We discourage students arriving before 8:10 am whenever possible. Our primary concern is student safety, and supervision is not guaranteed before 8:00am. Students arriving after 8:20am need to check in at the school office, as they are considered tardy if they are not in their classroom. 

Students who arrive after instruction begins, create a learning distraction for the entire class.  When this happens, all learning stops while the teacher accommodates the needs of the child.  Tardiness can be detrimental to academic progress for an entire class, not just for the student who arrives late!  The Zero Tardy Award at the end of the school year is a very important award that almost all of our students strive for, and want to encourage that to be EVERYONE's goal this year!  Please make every effort to have your child at school and on time every day.  :-)
