Our Week Ahead

Thank You!! 
We had a fantastic time at Klackle Orchards yesterday!!!  The weather was beautiful and the students were able to get the full experience.  They were able to pick their own apples and pumpkin, we learned how apples are grown, we also got to taste test the apples, fresh cider and fresh donuts!!  What a great day!  Thanks so much to all of the parents who were able to come along as well!


In Your Child's Folder Today:
In your child's folder today is quite a bit of mail! They have their October lunch menu, a baggie to label and bring in Box Tops in, and various other pieces for you to check out. The most important one is the stapled papers about concussions.  There is a new state mandate that each child in our school has a concussion form signed in their permanent school file.  Please take time to read this important information and warning signs.  Please also be sure to sign the back of this form and send it back to school with your child on Monday.  Thanks!

Next Week (September 30-October 4)
DIBELS - This week begins our DIBELS assessing for the elementary students.  Please make sure that your child gets enough rest and a good breakfast each day!  Also, please make sure that they are at school on time and ready to learn.  Our school day starts at 8:03am.  Thanks for your support!!

Johnny Appleseed Day - Even though Johnny's birthday was yesterday, September26, we're going to be celebrating it on Friday, October 4, with some fun apple activities.  We will be rotating through the 4 2nd grade classrooms learning a little about Johnny and how he grew up, doing some activities, and having a fun snack!  If there are any parents who are able to help for a couple hours, that would be great.  We will be doing this from 9-11am, and I would like to have about 2-3 more parents to help.  Please send me an email or leave me a voice mail (231-825-8330 x1574) if you are available.

Progress Reports - I cannot believe that next week Friday also marks the 1/2 way point in our first 9 weeks already!  This year is going to go by way to quickly!  That being said, your child's progress report for these first few weeks will be coming home with them on Friday in their folders.
