Fish Fundraiser– Thank you to those families that participated in our fish fundraiser, 146 fish were purchased raising $1300. Many thanks to the Reichelt Family for their ongoing contribution of supplies for our fish tank and for keeping the tank so clean. We want to thank them for the great idea for this fundraiser. Be sure to bring your painted fish back after the break to be clear coated and put on the fence. Can’t wait to see everyone’s creativity! There are still a few fish left to purchase for $8 – contact the office.
Class Placements for Next Year– We are beginning to create our classes for next year. Please be assured that staff devote considerable time, care and attention to this process. This very complex and lengthy responsibility occurs over several weeks and continues into September when class placements are finalized. Throughout 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: social emotional skills and relationships, as well as learning styles, strengths and needs. Our goal is to create safe and engaging inclusive classrooms that balance these factors, as equitably as possible. If you feel there is further information to consider about your child, you may submit input to the principal in writing by June 5, 2019. Please refrain from requesting specific teachers or peers by name.
