Spring Break Approaching!

Remember that next week there will be no school due to Spring Break.  I hope you all have a restful and fun week off.  Please remember to read occasionally and practice math facts.   Reading Calendars will be due on TUESDAY, APRIL 1ST.  

Also, when we return we will be starting the 4th quarter and getting ready for the OAA test the first week in May.  We have A LOT to accomplish in the month of April and will need students focused and ready to learn when we return from break.  Warmer weather and sports schedules may make it difficult for work in homework and early bedtimes, but will be very important in this homestretch of the 2014-2015 school year.

March Forward!

Well, it seems like all of a sudden it is March!   Amazing how fast January and February flew by.  Of course all the ice and snow resulting in multiple snow days and delays made our weeks feel somewhat fractured.   Last week was the first 5-day "normal" week we have had since December --- just crazy.

As we enter March, there are some important dates coming up that should be noted:

Monday, March 3 - Spring School Pictures

Tuesday, March 4 - Blizzard Bags #1 & #2 Due - Remember this is the first set of assignments sent home over the 4-day President's Day weekend and count as 2 days of attendance for the additional days (over the allowed 5) our district has taken over the last couple months.   Bags not returned by Tuesday will be counted as 2 unexcused absences.

Tuesday, March 4 - February Reading Calendars Due

Friday, March 7 - SLE BINGO Night --- Come enjoy a fun time and support PTO!  Games and awesome prizes!!!

Thursday, March 13 and Thursday, March 20 - Spring Conferences will be held both nights from 4:00-7:30pm.  Conferences will be held with your child's reading teacher.   Look for your scheduled time to come home with your child this week.

Wednesday, March 19 - TPC Luncheon -- The finale to our Etiquette Program, students will be traveling to TPC for a special lunch.   Your child will be bringing home a special invitation this week that will give you more information about this very special event. 

March 24 - 28 - Spring Break
