No School - Thanksgiving Break

Rising Sun Elementary School believes that students should be actively involved in their learning and assume responsibility for the learning process. Students can do this at a very young age, if taught properly. Through student led conferences, students become more

motivated, reflective and evaluative. They also become more critical in their approach to learning.

Traditional conferences are very teacher driven, very short with little time for conversation and tend to focus on social and emotional rather than academics. That doesn't mean they do not have an important time and place. We encourage and request many traditional conferences each year and hope you do the same should you have specific concerns about your child. Student driven conferences occur at the end of each marking period and provide you with more talk time with your child about their learning, provide high accountability and opportunities for goal setting. Samples of work with authentic assessment are also included.

We also use this as an opportunity to recognize students accomplishments and recognitions. Marking period Awards will be given out at this time. This includes perfect attendance, good attendance, and honor roll.

*Due to limited space in classrooms, we are limited to 1 adult per student. Must be on the emergency contact list for the student. Younger non-school aged siblings/children are not permitted to attend.

It is more difficult for children to learn to read and to gain other foundational academic skills when they miss many school days. Students who are chronically absent in preschool, kindergarten, and first grade are much less likely to read at grade level by third grade and are more likely to have poor attendance in later grades.

Having an "Attitude of Gratitude" is an important way to find joy in all areas of your life. Try talking with your family about these prompts through the month of November to identify 25 different things they are grateful for.

Hi Families,PLEASE REMEMBER:

Medications MUST be brought into school by the student's parent/guardian. Student's can not bring ANY medications in their book bag (including over the counter medications). The medication will be confiscated and required to be picked up by the parent/guardian.

Student's must be fever free without fever reducing medications for 24 hours. If I send your student home sick, they are required to miss the next day of school.
