A Message from Principal Catlin
Dear Mount Sinai Elementary Families,
We are in the home stretch of the year! In this newsletter you will find a schedule of all of our upcoming events such as Field Day, Moving Up Ceremonies, Field Trips and more. It’s going to be a busy two months and hopefully this helps everyone keep track of everything happening!
We are excited to be doing something new this year for our end-of-year 4th Grade Social Studies celebration. We will be having a Revolutionary War encampment complete with horses, muskets and even cannons! Suffice to say, please do not be alarmed if you live close to the school and hear the sound of cannons! We are going to take lots of pictures and videos to send out to the parents and look forward to literally having a blast!
We will also be holding all of our Moving Up and Graduation ceremonies on the high school field for the first time. Streamlining all of our ceremonies in one space is going to give us unlimited space for an outdoor ceremony for parents and should make it feel even more special to be holding such big ceremonies. I’m looking forward to seeing all of you there!
As always, all parents are invited to Field Day to see their kids participating in the games with their friends. If you choose to sign your child out directly after Field Day, the classroom teacher will have a clipboard and a sticker to indicate your child’s release. This is just an extra layer of security to make sure all the kids are dismissed safely. If your son or daughter has a sibling in a grade not currently on the field, you will need to go around to the front and sign them out in the usual manner.
On an unrelated note, I am going to be speaking to the students over the next week or two about Chromebook usage. I wanted to let the parents know first so we can have your support as well. There have been more instances lately of students using Chromebooks during unsupervised times such as on the bus, before or after school. We are going to remind the students that Chromebooks are not to be used during indoor recess, on the bus or during any time not directly supervised by a teacher. This includes waiting in the hall before or after school to be picked up as well. Please support us by reminding your children that during school the Chromebooks are only to be used under the supervision of a teacher.
It’s always a busy, but fun, two months as we wrap up another school year and I look forward to seeing all of you at Field Day and the other end-of-year ceremonies!
Sincerely,
Rob Catlin
