Happy Weekend Team!Congratulations...you have completed the last full week prior to the Thanksgiving Holiday Break! This has been a long stretch of time since the beginning of the year and I know you are ready for some vacation time. I hope that you truly enjoy time with family, good food, SLEEP, and some fun R&R during this holiday break.
And...as I reflect this Thanksgiving on the the things and people for whom I am grateful, know that you are a part of my "Gratitute List". Happy Thanksgiving!
This Week (or before "let the holiday festivities begin" 😉):
Pie..Pie...Pie...
Please add our request for Sweet Potato or Pumpkin Pie to your SchoolConnect or Dojo this weekend. We need Pie for our Thanksgiving Feast day on Tuesday, November 21st. Pies can be dropped off at the school beginning on Monday, November 20th through 9:00 am on Tuesday, November 21st. Thank you so much!
Thanksgiving Feast Day Expectations
On Tuesday 11/21 we will celebrate Thanksgiving. On this day, students will eat in the classroom with their teacher. Admin and National Junior Honor Society students will come around between 11:00-1:00 delivering pie to the individual classrooms.
GLTs/03's
Due to our short week, we will not be holding 03's or GLTs. I am always available if needed.
Parent Teacher Conferences
Parent Teacher Conferences are the week following our Thanksgiving Break (November 27-December 1). These should take approximately 15 minutes each. (Plan to use a timer to be considerate to all parents.) We will be covering PTC Best Practices during our Wing Meeting on Monday, November 20th.
Remember, I need a copy of your PTC schedule before you leave on Tuesday.
Fall Tutoring
This short tutoring session (4 weeks) will begin for our Interim 1 Bubble Students on November 28th. It will occur on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30-4:30, from November 28-December 14. I provided the list of student invites to you on Monday. Please follow up with parents to encourage these students to attend.
Blue Ribbon Society Applications/National Junior Honor Society Applications
I will be passing these applications out to the students in your class with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher on Monday. The students will have until Friday, December 8 to complete and turn in the applications if they want to be considered for membership in the Blue Ribbon Society (3-5) or National Junior Honor Society (6-8). The Administrative team will meet and invitations will be presented to accepted students before Christmas Break.
Honor's Assembly
On Wednsday, November 29th, we will be having our first Honor's Assemblies of SY 23-24. These will occur in the gym. The schedule is as follows:
- Gr. K-2 11/29 8:10-8:50
- Gr. 3-5 11/29 9:00-9:40
- Gr. 6-8 11/29 9:50-10:30
More information will be coming to you Monday, November 20th.
Classroom Neatness
Classrooms are looking untidy. This is your "home away from home". Please stand at your door at look at your classroom through "Visitor" eyes. This includes Anchor Chart neatness, teacher desk and table areas, cubbies, student desks, book cases, etc.
Black Out Days
This is a reminder that the day before and the day after holiday breaks are Black Out Days. As such, Tuesday, November 21st and Monday, November 27th are Black Out Days. Please do not plan to be absent on these days as you will not be paid.
Slides/House Shoes
Please let parents know via your SchoolConnect or Dojo that Slides and/or House Shoes are not appropriate shoes for school. Shoes must have a enclosed back on them. This is a safety issue.
Students Missing Assessments
Ms. Schofield has indicated that all Interventionists and Paras are available to assist classroom teachers in getting students missing/incomplete assessments completed. This includes students who receive Special Education services. Thank you Intervention Team!
Thankful Turkeys
It's that time of year!
Mrs. Rogers will be placing three Thankful Turkey coloring sheets in your mailbox; you may make as many copies as you want! We use Thankful Turkeys to let our coworkers know how thankful we are for them and all that they do!
Color it, write a message, and deliver it to someone that you are especially thankful for!
