This month's PTC meeting will be on Thursday, April 3rd at 3:45 pm. Meetings are held in our cafeteria.

Our 3rd grade students will be taking Indiana's ILEARN assessment during the weeks of April 14th and 21st. As always, attendance is critical, but especially during this test window. Thank you!

There is no school Friday, April 18th-Monday, April 21st. Students will return on Tuesday, April 22nd.

Our PTC's annual Daddy-Daughter Dance will be on Friday, April 25th. More information will be sent home as we get closer to the date.

The topic for April is empathy.

It's time to order this year's Yearbook! You can order online at ybpay.com and enter code: 15359125. The deadline to order a Yearbook is THIS Friday, April 4th!

REMINDER: Please call the office if you need to make a change for your child's dismissal transportation. Please call in before 1:00 pm. For example: You will be picking your child up rather than riding the bus home. Please DO NOT message your child's teacher on Class Dojo. We want to make sure the message gets to your child and your child's teacher. Please call in at 219-956-3221. Please call in before 1:00 pm. Thank you!

A reminder that we dismiss at 3:25 PM for Parent Pick-Up. Due to safety concerns with traffic backing up to the highway, we begin releasing students 3-5 minutes before our scheduled dismissal of 3:25 PM for Parent Pick-Up students. We are asking for your assistance with arriving to pick-up your child closer to 3:25 PM. This will prevent the line from backing up into the highway. Your assistance with this request is very much appreciated!

Some Attendance Tips:

• Make sure your student keeps a regular bedtime and establishes a morning routine.

• Turn off all electronics including TVs, phones, and tablets at bedtime.

• Have backpack and clothes prepared the night before.

• Check with our school nurse or office staff if you are not sure about when to keep your child at home due to illness.

• Avoid scheduling vacations while school is in session.

• Make every effort to schedule doctor appointments around school hours.

• Talk to teachers and our social worker for advice if your student feels anxious about going to school.

• In the event that your student cannot get to school in their normal manner, develop a plan with another family member or trusted adult to get them to school that day.

If you have a pre-planned absence for your child, you will need to complete KV's Pre-Planned Absence Form. This needs to be completed at least 2 days prior to the absence(s). You can stop by our School Office for one or request one from your child's teacher. Thank you!

Our PTC will be hosting their Bounce-A-Thon fundraiser on Friday, May 2nd. More information about that will be sent home later this month.

This year's Field Day will be on Thursday, May 15th. We have a scheduled rain date for Monday, May 19th. If you are interested in watching your child participate in Field Day, please park at the Wheatfield Little League Fields Parking Lot and go walk to the viewing area.

The LAST DAY OF SCHOOL is Friday, May 23rd. Report Cards will be posted on Skyward Family Access on Friday, May 30th. If you would like a copy of the report card, you can stop by the office before Wednesday, June 4th or call in and request one be mailed to you.
