England School News

Hello Leopard Families-

We hope that you had a relaxing and refreshing weekend.

PTA Updates:

Please check out the January newsletter (linked below) to see all the great things that are happening. We are beyond thankful for the dedication, commitment, and hard work of our England PTA.

Mark your calendars! Cultural Heritage Night is on February 1st and this is an event you don't want to miss!

Our PTA Fundraiser starts tomorrow, January 22nd! This is our most successful fundraiser of the year. Our goal is to use these funds to add additional equipment to our playground. Flyers were sent home in your child's Thursday folders. Please visit this website to learn more about Raise Craze.

It's not too late to show your support for all Leopards by joining the PTA! Use this link to find out more information!

Science Fair-

Several of our Fourth and Fifth grade Leopards participated in our England Science Fair. We enjoyed learning from them and applauding their hard work and efforts. A huge thank you to Mr. Grigsby, Mr. Rosenfeld, and Ms. Sanchez for their dedication to providing this learning opportunity for our students. Thank you to all of those who volunteered their time to judge, both from England and multiple departments across the district. Our Leopards are excited to present their projects at our Science Fair Gallery Walk on January 25th.

Spelling Bee-

A huge thank you to our PTA volunteers for organizing our England Spelling Bee! We had twelve very prepared contestants! It was so close that the evening ended with not one, but TWO, written spelling tests. Please join us in congratulating Taafeef M. (Grand Prize Winner) and Baily Y. (First Runner Up). Check out the pictures below! We are so proud of all of these Leopards!!

Fifth Grade Families-

It's hard to believe that we're already planning for our Leopards to become Rattlers! Please see the attached flyers for important information about upcoming dates.

General Reminders:

- Doors open at 7:15.

- The back doors are not monitored for drop off after 7:35. If you arrive after this time, please plan to have your child enter through the front of the building.

- Please pull all the way forward to the first cone during arrival/dismissal.

- After your child exits the vehicle, please continue to move forward to leave the car line.

- The school day begins at 7:35. (Students arriving after this time will be marked as 'tardy'.)

- Attendance is taken at 8:15. (Students arriving after this time are marked as 'absent'.)

- To report an absence, please use this form.

- Rattler's Way is now a one-way entrance to access the back of the school. Please use one of the two exits on Neenah to exit the back drive.

We look forward to a full week of learning, smiles, and fun with our Leopards.

In partnership,

Krystall Williams
