MULTIPLICATION

If your student does not have their multiplication facts memorized please make sure you are providing them the extra support they need at home. The curriculum is becoming more challenging and assuming that the students have their multiplication facts memorized.

Field Trip Reminders:

• We are taking the FrontRunner to the Museum of Curiosity at Thanksgiving Point.
• You must be at the Roy FrontRunner station by 8:00am (if chaperones could be there between 7:50-7:55am that would be so helpful to make sure everything runs smoothly).
• Our train leaves at 8:15am (we can NOT wait for you or your student if you are late).
• We will be back in Roy at 2:45pm so you will need to make arrangements for your student to be picked up at that time.
• We are walking from the FrontRunner station to the museum and back (about 3/4 mile one way). Make sure your student is dressed appropriately.

LOCKDOWN DRILL

We have a lockdown drill coming up on Thursday, March 14th. The purpose of this lockdown drill is to prepare our students, staff, and school community for an emergency situation involving an intruder or the report of a weapon at the school. It is crucial that our students understand the procedures and know how to respond appropriately in such a scenario. Please note that teachers will take time to explain these procedures prior to the drill. During the drill, Dr. Dave will make the following announcement twice: “Lockdown drill! Locks, lights, out of sight.” Teachers will ensure doors are closed and locked, that the lights are off, and that students are secure within the classroom.

We are fortunate to have the assistance of our local police department during this drill. Their expertise will ensure that the drill is conducted safely and effectively, providing our students with the most realistic and beneficial preparation possible.

We kindly ask that you discuss this upcoming drill with your children beforehand. It is important for them to understand the purpose of the drill and what they can expect. This will help to alleviate any fears or anxieties they may have and ensure they feel prepared and confident.

We understand that the subject of lockdown drills can be sensitive, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter. Your support in helping keep our students safe is invaluable.

We are looking for parents to chaperone this field trip.  The cost for volunteers’ entry into the museum and their train ride is $12.00. All money needs to be paid to the office by Friday, April 12th.   If we do not have payment by this time, you will not be able to attend with us.  Please indicate on the form below if you would like to chaperone.  Due to the nature of this trip and the need for constant adult supervision, PLEASE make other arrangements for ALL other siblings. It is the museum’s policy that chaperones have NO OTHER CHILDREN with them.

     We will be taking the FrontRunner home as well.  We will catch the train at 1:14 and arrive back at the Roy Train Station at 2:45.  This is earlier than school gets out.  You will need to make arrangements to pick your child up at this time.  

         School lunch will be available this day, but it MUST be ordered by April 9th.  Please indicate on the form below which lunch option your child will be taking with us.  Students will also need to bring their backpack on this day.  Their backpack will serve as a storage place for their coat and lunch throughout the day.
