A BUSY WEEK

Conference Week


This week we held parent-teacher conferences. Parents and teachers were able to meet and discuss their children/students. This can often be any eye-opening experience. Parents often learn things about their children that they were unaware of; quiet children at home can be the chatty students in a classroom or show musical aptitude in the music room! Teachers see their students in a different light and may remember what is was like to sit on the other side of the table. Overall the week went well and I hope you all had a positive experience.

Recess

It's that time of year when we have to ask will recess be inside or outside? If the temperature outside is 20 degrees or lower (including wind chill) we will stay inside. All students will go outside, unless we have a doctor's note on file stating the student needs to stay in. When snow is on the ground, students need snow pants and boots to go up to the playground. Those studentswithout these items will only be allowed to play on the blacktop so please send your child prepared for outside recess.

Classroom Volunteers
Just a reminder that younger siblings are not allowed in the classrooms when you are volunteering in the classroom (room parties, classroom readers, mystery guest, etc.). If you have any questions please call the office at 630-783-5200. Thank you.
