Winter has arrived. Please keep that in mind when sending your child to school each day. If the temperature is one degree or above, studentsetter DO go outside for recess. Also, there are times when students are outside – waiting for the bus, going to and from the car before and after school to name a few. Boots, hats, gloves, snow pants and a winter coat are all priorities this time of year! We have recently passed the mid-point of the school year and I hope that to this point it has been a successful one for you and your child(ren). Students and staff have been working hard. Our assessments are complete and you should have received your child’s report card. If you have any questions – please feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher. Technology has changed the way that we all live our lives. Social networking (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), cell phones, instant messaging, and texting have allowed each of us to conveniently and instantaneously communicate. Cyber bullying has seen a rapid rise in school-aged children throughout the country, and unfortunately, seldom does a day go by without hearing these stories in the media. Although we do not allow this sort of communication here at school with students, we have seen students come to school upset about something that was posted from home.

Parents can talk with their children about courage to reinforce what we are doing at school. We ask children to have the courage to invite oth- ers into games during recess or stand up for some- one that might be excluded. It takes a lot of thought and courage for an elementary student to stand up for themselves or others. Ask your child about how they use courage at school, home, and out and about with friends.

March 21st has also been set aside as a conference night for those teachers needing additional time to meet with parents. During your children’s conferences, staff members will be looking for feedback from you regarding how to continue helping your child do their best in school. Teachers will discuss students’ progress (i.e. strengths, daily work habits, assessment results, interactions with classmates, areas for improvement, etc.). Time will also be provided for parents to ask questions. It may be beneficial to discuss your children’s school experiences with your child(ren) prior to the scheduled conference. You may be able to use the information they provide as a means to communicate to the teacher what you feel is going well, as well as what type of assistance your children might need from the staff. Following the conference, please take the time to praise your students’ efforts and assist them in recognizing those areas in which work is needed to continually improve. Because each conference is allotted only fifteen minutes, it is important that we start and end on time. If a conflict arises and you are unable to attend, please contact the school office prior to your scheduled meeting. In addition, we encourage parents to look through the LOST AND FOUND items that will be on display in the cafeteria area.

At some point, every child and parent has to partake in fundraising for a school-related cause. It’s easy to look at fundraising as just another thing you have to do, like signing the release form for the upcoming field trip, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Fundraising, when done right, can offer meaningful and even amazing results, all while being fun! Yep, we said it, fun! When you eliminate the stress and frustration of choosing, planning, organizing and executing a great fundraiser, all you have left are the good parts: More money and increased awareness for your worthy group, club, organization or team.
