Welcome back from break!

Hello families!
I hope everyone had a restful week off!  I know it was sure nice to be home with my family!  (I even became an aunt again last Friday with the birth of my 7th niece!)

I have updated the blog with upcoming events, the "Looking Ahead" tab, and the volunteer calendars for the remainder of the year. (Please note the volunteers calendars are subject to change once I find out the official testing dates for SBAC and MAP testing.)

Reading calendars are due on Wednesday (We are so close to the million minutes!).  The Leadership Group students will be meeting next week on Monday, April 6th after school.

Have a great night!

March-A new trimester!

Hello families!

We have a lot going on this week!  Please take a minute to look at the upcoming events for the week.

On Monday reading calendars are due, there is a Student Leadership Group meeting after school, and a reading night put on by our fabulous PTA at 6:30!  I hope to see all of you there!

After school on Tuesday, is a PTA meeting in the health room at 4:00.

Wednesday, students need to bring their best smile for class pictures!  Forms were sent home last week to purchase pictures.  If you can't find the order form and you would like one, just send in a check or cash to "Parker Portraits" for $8.50.  Everyone will be in the class picture.  Fourth grade will be going first (due to Challenge students leaving) so please do not let your student be late.  I don't want them to miss the picture!  If you want individual pictures taken, we have to have written notice of that.  Another form was sent home for that with the class picture order form.

Thursday after school, report cards will be available on-line.  I have started putting in a few grades, but nothing will be official until Thursday.  Not many families have looked at their child's 1st trimester report card from November.  (14 out of 32 families) I am asking that everyone please take a few minutes to see how your child is doing in class.  It is important that every parent take an active role in how their child is doing at school!

I have updated the new volunteer calendar for the month.  I am still looking for someone to help us on Thursday, March 12th.  If you would like to come in, please let me know!  Also, if you are not listed, but would like to come in anytime to help, please let me know when you would like to come in and I will put you to work! ;)

Have a great week!
