We are still getting to know our students at West Oxford. This week we shifted from classroom community building into assessments. We know that students haven't received much instruction yet, but these tests give us a big picture idea of what your child knows and is able to do. This will help us make sure we meet those needs. It was also a big week for student leadership, as job applications came out for safety patrol and global greeters. Students auditioned for the announcement team, and the ten selected started this week. We also are asking fourth and fifth graders who love to read to talk to Ms. Sneed about Battle of the Books.
Tomorrow is a holiday, and there is no school. We will see you Tuesday, September 3rd.
Our PTO Candyman fundraiser started on Thursday, and your student brought home everything they need. There are different levels of prizes for the number of items sold. Please support our PTO!
West Oxford gear can be purchased here. The deadline has been extended to September 5th.
Please remember that our doors open at 7:20, and students must be in the classroom at 7:45 to earn their first Dojo point of the day. If you are walking your student to the door, please park on the Ivey Day side. If you are dropping off, please do so on the Roxboro Rd side. This process ensures that students have adult supervision and are safe.
For afternoon dismissal, we will not allow parents to walk up to pick up their children. It is much safer for us to load your students into the cars than for us to try and track who is grabbing who out of the line. You may drive up on either side, and we will call your students up as you get in the car line. If you need to make any transportation changes, we ask that you call the office before noon. We do not take transportation changes over ClassDojo. No students can be dismissed after 2:25.
Please make sure that you are reading with your child for 20 minutes each night. Happy reading!
