    Help Us Stay HEALTHY!

    It is that time of year again...


    Help our class stay healthy by please keeping your child home to rest up and get healthy if they are sick! Please remember we have a 24 hour fever free school policy. Make sure your child has been without a fever (without medication) for 24 hours before they return to school. We will continue to wash our hands and clean our classroom to stay healthy!

    Elementary Career Day!

    Elementary is planning on implementing a Career Day in April. We would love to have about 7 presenters come to the classrooms to share their skills with our kids. If you are interested in doing a presentation, please let myself, or Mrs. Ivarie know. We are looking for an interactive and engaging presentation. Models, pictures, things the students can touch or manipulate are welcome, (and encouraged!) The projected date is April 13, 2018. If you are interested, please send a brief overview of your career and an idea of what you’d be presenting to the classes. If you have a preferred grade level that you wish to work with, please include that information.

    StudyIsland ROCKS

    If you are looking for reinforcement of skills we are learning in class or extra practice for your first grade student - please consider using Study Island resource at home this year. This is a great resource we will be using this year where students can practice Math and Reading/Language Arts skills at home. This will help your child feel more confident during our MAP assessments this year. It is designed to help them practice the areas they are having difficulty with. Your child's username and password is the same as your FSA Connect login. If you need this information, please send me an email.
