Week of May 17, 2021

Don't forget that we will have Dicky's boxed lunches and another surprise for you in the Teacher's Lounge tomorrow.  We are so grateful for everything that all of you have done to finish out STAAR testing.  We  It takes the whole school to make this happen and we KNOW you are tired, yet you persevere.  Special thanks to Leigh Ann for being a superSTAAR and surviving her first year as our testing coordinator.  Thank you for the grace you all provided her.


DID YOU KNOW:
  • that only positive comments are expected on report cards?  Please ensure this happens for the last nine weeks.  Make a second copy of the report card for learners' permanent folders.  Peg will file these in the office for you.
  • that Schoology will have an enhanced elementary experience for younger learners in the fall?  You can check it out here.  

STAFF MEETING
Please join us in the cafeteria for Wednesday's staff meeting.  This is the final staff meeting for the year and we will recognize staff members for their years of service and say farewell to those journeying on.  Please wear your Better Together t-shirt this day.  We will be taking a "staff photo" to hang by the teacher's lounge.


FIELD DAY
THANKS to Aparna and Julie for their collaboration and efforts to make Field Day a special day for the children!  Feel free to wear shorts and hats (if you like) on Friday.  Shorts should be at least fingertip length- don't ruin it for others!  Please use this schedule for FIELD DAY.  Here is a list of the Field Day Stations and helpful hints for educators and learners.  We ask that you group your grade so that they match what is on the schedule (see highlight on slide 2).  In case it rains on Friday, we will reschedule for Monday, so please have lesson plans created JUST IN CASE you have to use them.  




END OF YEAR LUNCHES
