Spring Break!

Well we did it! We made it to Spring Break, and it has been a well earned break indeed!

I hope during these next 9 days off that each of you take time renew, get rejuvenated, and relax! Take time for you, because that is just as important as anything else!

Week at a Glance

Monday - Spring Parent/Teacher Conferences Start
Pennies for Patients Begins
School Board Meeting - 6:30pm
Wednesday - PTO Meeting - 5:30pm - Library
Thursday - Staff Prayer Time - 7am - PLC Room
Saturday - 3rd-5th Saturday School

Spring Parent/Teacher Conferences

It's that time again! As I've shared it the past, it is law for us as a Title 1 to do Parent/Teacher conferences in the fall and spring. You will have a two week window to get them all done.

It is a requirement to meet with every parent.  In person, over phone, or at their home. Please keep a sign in sheet.

It's important, especially at the spring conferences, to have the student present and part of the conference.

In 3rd-5th especially the students should really be leading the conferences.

Once yours are complete, please turn in the sign in sheet to Ms. Puentes.

Teacher, Para, and Rookie of the Year

Congrats to our Top 5 finalists in each category!

Voting is now open. Please select your top choice in each category. Winners will be announced the week we return from Spring Break.


Pennies for Patients

This year our Student Council is heading up Pennies for Patients. A fundraiser to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. You'll be receiving information in your box and from Ms Klinke soon (if you haven't already!)

Speaking of Student Council...congrats to Ms Klinke and Ms Day for their work with our StuCo.  Our kids were one of the Top 10 finalists of StuCos in the state who came up with a new theme song and theme for next year's StuCo. We didn't win, but top 10 is AWESOME!

Saturday School

Our first academic Saturday School is Saturday, March 23rd.  It is for 3rd-5th grade students and will run from 9am-11am.  3rd-5th Teachers, please create a list of who will be there and have to me by Wednesday, March 20th so we can get volunteers to teach. 

Be thinking about if you'd like to work Saturday School.  It is $25 an hour you'd be paid.
