TIGER WEEKLY Dec 9-13, 2024

Happy Sunday Families!

We are fast approaching the Winter Break, but we have a lot going on before that, only 9 days of school before our 2 week vacation. We will be having "12 Days of Spirit!" for the next two weeks, please have your child join in on this opportunity to show some Holiday Spirit! We start by wearing RED on Monday...

The REINDEER RUN is coming! Mark you calendar for December 19, the last day before break at 10:00AM. Information will be coming home in this week's Wednesday Folder. We need volunteers and we welcome parents to join in the "run" if you are able, or just come and watch!

We have our iRoar Assembly this Friday for those students being recognized for our November character trait...you will receive an invitation if your child will be receiving an iRoar Award.

1st Trimester Awards Assemblies will be NEXT WEEK on Wednesday December 18. We will have one assembly for Tk-3rd Grade at 9:00 AM and one assembly for 4th - 6th Grades at 10:40 AM. All Awards Assemblies will be in the MPR.

Don't forget: our last day before Winter Break is Thursday December 19, and this is a MINIMUM DAY for all students. We will dismiss at the same time we normally dismiss on Wednesdays.

Please note all the upcoming events below...it's a busy season!

All the best,

We welcome Community Review and feedback in support of our efforts to continue providing enriching, robust, standards-aligned content and curriculum for our students with engagement from our FSD community. To comply with Board Policy, and provide more accessibility, as of November 1, we have all materials for our recommended adoption available for in-person viewing in the main lobby of the District Office. District office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM - 4:30

Our Tigers continue to learn from Second Step Elementary, a research-based social-emotional learning program designed to help children both in and out of the classroom.

Unit 3- Empathy and Kindness. What a great subject for this month and beyond! Students will lean the importance of empathy and how they can show kindness in many ways.

Here is a copy of our PBIS Matrix. All FSD Schools use this to outline exactly what is expected from our students. We teach these expectations at the beginning of the school year, practice them, and then review throughout the year. Student earn rewards, like Tiger Tickets for demonstrating these behaviors in class, walking about campus, at lunch and recess and using the restrooms.

Please check your BLACKBOARD preferences to make sure you are recieving REGULAR communication from Commonwealth School. You can receive messages by Email, Text, Phone or the FSD App!
