The classroom carnival will take place on April 11. This is such a fun night! Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend since I will be at my son’s lacrosse jamboree. Since I am unable to be there, I am looking for volunteers who would be willing to work a carnival game. Mrs. Martin’s class is in charge of the “Sucker Pull”. It is a really easy one to manage. 30 minutes or a one-hour shift would work best. Let me know if you are interested. It is really fun to see all the kids.
The PTA is asking for donations for the baskets that are raffled off during the spring classroom carnival. The profits of the baskets are split among the teachers who participate in the carnival. The first grade teachers use this money for field trips, classroom supplies, etc. Last year I was able to buy cases for 3 classroom iPads. The first grade basket theme is Cat/Griz. If you would rather donate money and have the PTA do the shopping that is also an option. Be sure to note that it is for the Classroom Carnival. All items and/or money need to be in by Friday, April 6. We appreciate your help.
From Mr. English
Hello Bitterroot Families,
It is springtime already and time to begin planning for next school year. If you have a kindergarten student starting in the fall it is time to get them registered with Christy in the main office. This year we were out of classrooms for kindergarten and had to send 18 students to Bench for their kindergarten year. We are still figuring out if we will have enough space for all our kindergartners here next fall so please get them registered early to insure your place in the building here at Bitterroot.
If you would like to have input in the process we use to make classroom placements we need your letter by May 1st. A short note indicating the educationally significant reason(s) you are making a request for a particular teacher will be taken into consideration by the team making those decisions.
Spring testing is underway. Please encourage your students to do their best. Remember to ask them how they did, and encourage good brain performance with outdoor activities, a good night's rest and thoughtful nutrition.
Sixth graders moving to middle school must have their booster shots, and any records requested, (updated parenting plans, contact information, birth certificates etc.) to Christy before May 20th. They will have orientation day at Castle Rock and class registration coming up in April and May.
Out of area attendance requests should also be in by the end of the school year. I will make decisions on those requests the second week of August.
Contact information for Bitterroot and Bench schools can be found below.
Please feel free to call if you need more information.
Sincerely,
John English
Principal
