What's Happening This Week: September 16 - September 19
Remembering 9/11
Honoring our First Responders on Patriot Day
On Patriot Day our First Responder family members joined us for a special remembrance. We honored them with our traditional Clap Out.
Collaboration in Kindergarten
Our Kindergarten students are learning how to collaborate by drawing together!
Instrumental Music Notice
With the start of our instrumental music classes, we have a new habit to remember! Please make sure your student has their musical instrument in hand before you leave the house. It is our policy that instruments may NOT be dropped off after the bell rings at 7:50. Our music teachers have told students that if they forget their instrument one or two times during the trimester, it will not affect their grade. Coming to class without their instrument is still beneficial as they are learning the music and playing on an "air" instrument. It will also serve as a reminder for them to bring their instrument next time.
A good practice is to place the instrument by your door, or even in the car the night before. Thank you for your help!
