A note from Mrs. Satkoski....

We monitor the weather closely for recess, but plan on going outside as much as possible. If the heat index is too high, we let teachers know to keep students inside. The building is often cool. If you want to send a sweatshirt or jacket with your child, feel free.

Our specials teachers monitor our lost and found. They hang up items on a rack and keep them in a specific special area classes for a week and then move on to the next special area. Be sure to remind your kiddos to check during special area for lost items. At the end of each quarter we will send out pictures to see if parents recognize any items. Items that are left on the rack at the end of each quarter are donated.

School Commitment for the Week

Our school commitment for the week is to follow cafeteria procedures.

1. Get all things I need prior to sitting down (lunch, utensils, napkin, condiments)

2. Raise hand if I need something.

3. Use inside voice with friends at my table.

4. Pick up after myself.

Counselor's Corner

This week, I visited all 3rd and 4th grades. We reviewed expectations and discussed study skills. Good study skills are important to student success. Be sure to talk to your students about their study skills and set up a daily study routine.

MENTORS NEEDED:

Here at GLE we have a program called Mentor Mii. Mentor Mii pairs a safe adult from the community with students who may benefit from the support and encouragement of an adult in their life. Mentors visit the students here at GLE once a week for 30 minutes during the students lunch time. This program runs the whole school year. We are in need of mentors. If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a mentor, please contact me at 812-542-5707.

School Treats

Dear parents/guardians:

Food allergies, intolerances and other dietary-related medical conditions are a growing concern for our schools. Children who are affected can suffer a severe or even fatal reaction if they eat or come into contact with food that they are allergic to, and there are other children who can have life altering medical issues if they consume certain foods.

For the safety of these students, we are encouraging parents to celebrate birthdays and other occasions with non-food items such as stickers, pencils, themed erasers, or other trinkets, rather than food. If a special arrangement is made for a classroom party, any food that is sent in to share with students should be pre-packaged and contain an ingredient label AND must be approved beforehand.

Thank you in advance for making the class environment a safe and healthy place for the students. By working together, we can make a difference for our children!

Kind regards,

Sherry Stanfield, RN, BSN

Grant Line Elementary School Nurse
