Dear Reptile Families,

It's hard to believe we have already made it through 1 month of school. It seems like yesterday we were planning for the upcoming year. We have seen such wonderful things happening during the first month. Many students have developed wonderful relationships with their classmates and teachers. The first part of the year has a great focus on setting up expectations. Our school-wide expectations are Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Safe. During this month we will have our first Family Night Event and Book Fair. We look forward to seeing you all at these fun events. Thank you for supporting our school and READING.

Thank you,

Colleen Wilkinson

Each month we highlight one of our Reptile Core Values. At the end of the month, each teacher determines one child that exhibits the remarkable reptile trait. The student is invited to a special ceremony and receives a certificate and yard sign to celebrate their accomplishments. See below for Reptile Traits.

Students are released back to class at 9:55am

Tardy Bell rings at 10:10am

Welcome Back! We are very excited about everything we have planned for this year. Our goal is fitness and fun!! Please help your child remember to wear the correct shoes on PE days (slides are not safe and your student will not be able to participate).

Our Reptiles will start Reptile Run this month. They are working toward goals to earn toe tokens and a t-shirt by May. Students are running during PE class one week each month. After the first three miles, a chain and toe token are given. Toe tokens are earned every three miles, but each student only gets one chain and adds toe tokens to it as they are earned. By May, t-shirts are given to students who run at least twenty miles (primary) or 25 miles (intermediate), a large toe token is given to the boy and girl leaders in each class and trophies are given to the boy and girl leaders in each grade level. Last year we had over 250 students earn t-shirts!

Fun Run Club starts in October for 2nd-5th grade students. We will be running Monday mornings at 9:30 AM. Space will be limited so return the form quickly when you receive it in your child’s communication folder.

We are looking forward to a great year!!!
