Terry Fox
\n<\/strong><\/span>Last week we celebrated raising over $5000.00 to donate to the Terry Fox Foundation.\u00a0 A huge thank you to Ms. Holman for organizing this event.\u00a0 The top 10 students who raised the most funds had the opportunity to spray silly sting at staff and because we raised over $5000 Mrs. Matlock, Mr. Sheridan and Mrs. Dailey participated in a bike race.\u00a0 The video of the race can be viewed here Bike Race<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Class Placements<\/u><\/strong>
\n<\/u><\/strong>We are beginning to create our classes for next year.\u00a0Please be assured that staff devote considerable time, care, and attention to this process.\u00a0This very complex and lengthy responsibility occurs over several weeks and continues into September when class placements are finalized.
\nThroughout the year, there have been many opportunities for parents and teachers to discuss each child. Staff work together to consider the following criteria very carefully:\u00a0\u00a0social emotional skills and relationships,\u00a0<\/strong>as well as learning styles, strengths, and needs.<\/strong>\u00a0Our goal is to create safe and engaging inclusive classrooms that balance these factors, as equitably as possible.
\nIf you feel there is further information to consider about your child, you may submit input to Mrs. Dailey in writing by Friday, June 14. Please refrain from requesting specific teachers or peers by name as these submissions will not be reviewed.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ready, Set Kindergarten
\n<\/strong><\/span>Next Wednesday, May 29th we will be hosting our Ready, Set Kindergarten event for all 2024\/2025 incoming Kindergarten students.\u00a0 All incoming Kindergarten families have been sent a notice, via the Parent Portal, regarding the format of the afternoon.\u00a0 A reminder that the 2023\/2024 Kindergarten students will be dismissed at 11:00 on this day.<\/p>\n

Lost and Found<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe lost and found is overflowing.\u00a0 Please stop in to see if anything looks familiar.
