NO SCHOOL FROM MARCH 29 THROUGH APRIL 5 FOR SPRING BREAK!
NEW SPIRIT DAY COMING UP AFTER SPRING BREAK!
A new spirit day is coming up so I wanted to make sure everyone understands what the day is about since it is a weird one! Students have two options for Friday, APRIL 12:
OPTION 1: IDIOM DAY
An idiom is a a phrase that means something different from the literal meaning. A few examples are:
- It's raining cats and dogs.
- I have eyes in the back of my head.
- We are two peas in a pod.
- That was a barrel of laughs.
- She cried crocodile tears.
- She has a bee in her bonnet.
Students are invited to dress up to show the meaning of that idiom. So, they may have something very simple like glasses on backwards to show 'eyes in the back of my head' or numbers all over their shirt to signify "you can count on me". Let's have fun with this!
OPTION 2: SCRABBLE DAY
For this option, students can partner up with others and wear one letter on their shirt so that when the group is together, they form a word. Or, they could have multiple letters on their own shirt to spell out a word.
SENDING SOMEONE TO PICK UP YOUR CHILD?
For safety reasons, we do not typically release a student to a non-guardian unless we have received a note from the guardian authorizing us to do so. We often have grandparents or even older siblings show up who are actually listed as an emergency contact, but because I want to make sure that a parent actually realizes that a student is getting picked up early, we still attempt a phone call home to verify. If there is an emergency contact that you would like to authorize to pick up from school whenever they come, please email me the person's name, and I can add a note to your child's record so that we do not call to verify. (beth.howell@colonial.k12.de.us) Please make sure your family members know this is soley for the security of your child!
YEARBOOK PRE-ORDERS ARE OPEN UNTIL APRIL 10!
Yearbooks will be on sale online from now through April 10. They can be ordered now and will be delivered during the last few weeks of school. We will have a limited number of yearbooks for sale for cash once they arrive in May so if your child really wants one, now is the time to order!
