donation_hands

Many parents have still not paid for school supplies ($30) or field trip ($10) donations. 

Just a reminder that all field trip donations are needed by the end of next week! We will be deciding if we have enough money to go on our two planned field trips to the Treehouse Museum and to SeaQuest. We will have to cancel field trips if we do not receive enough donations. 

Please pay your donation to the school office by Oct. 1st. Thank you for your support!

Dollar Dress Down Friday

out earlyThis is just a reminder that this Friday is a short day and $1.00 dress down day. Students have the option to donate $1 to dress outside of uniform. Morning Kindergarten will begin at 8:30am and end at 10:30am. Afternoon Kindergarten will begin at 11:30pm and end at 1:30pm. Below are the guidelines for dress down Fridays: 

On dress down days, students are still expected to dress in a manner that positively impacts the learning environment. Clothing must be modest, tasteful, and it must not compromise safety standards for our students. The following standards include:

  • Shorts and skirts need to be consistent with QA Uniform Policy
  • No tank tops
  • No baggy pants
  • No bare or stocking feet
  • No open toe or heeled shoes
  • No clothing which displays obscene, vulgar, lewd, or sexually explicit words, messages or pictures
  • No clothing that exposes bare midriffs, buttocks or undergarments
  • No clothing assumed as gang related
  • If questions arise, the school administration, as the Board of Directors’ designee, has the authority to determine if a student’s dress is in keeping with this policy.

Solar Eclipse Monday

The solar eclipse will be taking place on Monday.  The event begins at 10:13 and peaks at 11:33 and will continue until about 1:00.  Since we will be in class during this time we want to make it a great learning experience for our students.
We will be teaching about the eclipse so they will be familiar with this rare experience. Our school has purchased the protective glasses for our use. We will need to share and rotate these through the grades, so the students may NOT take them home.

A.M. Kindergarteners
Kindergarten will get to use the glasses (to be returned after we finish) at 10:45 am.  To save time and hopefully have some help from parents, we will exit the school early at 10:45 as an entire Kindergarten group  with our glasses on.  Please talk to your Kindergartener about never looking at the sun unless they are wearing specialized glasses.  We will meet in our normal pick up spot, but won’t go home right away.  We can spend a few minutes together observing the eclipse. Parents can join us, but you will need to bring your own glasses for viewing. When you are finished please notify your child’s teacher that you are leaving with your child and you can leave anytime after that.

P.M. Kindergarteners
Kindergarten will get to use the glasses (to be returned after we finish) at 12:30 pm.   Please talk to your Kindergartener about never looking at the sun unless they are wearing specialized glasses. We will spend a few minutes together observing the eclipse. Parents can join us, but you will need to bring your own glasses for viewing. 

We are excited to share this once-in-a-lifetime experience with you and our students.

Last Days of Kindergarten

Field Day Tomorrow-Dress Down in clothing that will dry quickly. 

The clothing still needs to be school approved clothing. T-shirts and shorts are fine. We won’t get soaked, but we will get wet. Sunscreen is a really good idea too.  It will be hot and we will be outside all day.

Thursday-Dress Down and Early Out

“If You Give a Pig and Pancake” day. We will be eating pancakes in class and cleaning the classroom.

Friday-Dress Down and Early Out-Last Day of School

We are sad to see this year come to an end. It has been a wonderful year. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful children with me. I will miss them greatly!

Reminders

Parents who are volunteering for our field trip tomorrow please come to school 20 minutes early and pay your $5 to the office of admission. Thank you so much for your help!

Just a reminder, April’s reading calendar and homework packets are due. Please make sure your child turned them in.

Remember our Field Trip is Tomorrow. We will be lining up outside, I will take roll, and we will go directly to the bus from there.  DO NOT SEND A BACKPACK on Thursday. We will bypass the classroom. Of course a jacket will be fine if the weather requires it. We will be back to the school for you to pick up your child at 12:00 NOON.

This is the last call for school pictures. If you want your child’s school pictures please come by the classroom and pick them up. If you have not sent in your school picture money please have it to school by Friday.
