Welcome to the School #4 Newsletter!

We are in the midst of a great part of the year in elementary education! There are parts of the year where there are many distractions that, although wonderful, create a schedule that is not consistent, such as around Thanksgiving and the Holidays. We are now in the part of the year where we get our best work done and our kids are learning wonderfully this year!

As a side note regarding morning drop-off. Please remember to please not arrive on the drop-off line too early. It creates traffic in the area and people cannot get through the streets. The drop-off line operates between 8:30 and 8:40am. Please arrive during this time to drop off your children at the front door. You will actually wait for less time if you arrive during that time because the line moves fairly quickly once we get started.

Thank you and enjoy our newsletter! Enjoy your break and have a Happy Valentine's Day!

Sincerely,

Jeff Wilson

Principal

Due to the snow day last week, our at-risk conferences will be rescheduled. It will have to be approved by the Board of Education, but at this point, it is likely that there will be a half day approved for Wednesday, March 12th for the purpose of these invite-only conferences. We will send more notices home when it is official, but just for planning purposes, it looks to be rescheduled for that date.

At School #4, we always aim to have high attendance! After last year, it is very important that we improve upon student attendance, which includes being on time to school! Although the school year seems long, there is so much that we have to cover each year and in every grade. Missing just a little bit of time can have a large impact on our student's academic and social success

The district is requiring that all students be re-registered this year. REgistration is now open and must be completed by July 1st. Please see the link below to read a letter from our superintendent, Dr. Tomko.
