Short week

Wednesday, April 12 is noon dismissal.  There is no school Thursday, April 13-Monday, April 17.  School resumes Tuesday, April 18.

Please send signed report card envelopes back if you have not already done so.

As a staff, we have identified areas/times that are not going as smooth as we would like.  One of the big concerns was morning walk.  At our staff meeting last week we decided we would like to try something new and see if morning walk goes a little bit better.  Here is what will happen next week...

1.  K-5 will walk in one big circle instead of two smaller circles.  Staff members on
     duty will be posted one on each corner of the circle (hmmm....since when did
     circles develop corners?)
2.  When the whistle blows and staff hands go up, everyone freezes.  Students will
     be dismissed by grade level to line up, starting with Kdg and 5th, moving on to
     1st and 4th, then 2nd and 3rd.
3.  All classroom teachers will be outside to pick up their classes and walk them in.
    (1st grade and Mrs. Garcia....come in the north doors, using both doors? Mrs. Perius
     and Miss Redmond come in the hallway door?)
​4.  Pledge will be said in the classrooms instead of outside.​

We will be using the short week as a review week and will not be doing regular reading groups.

Math will also be a review week with some fun bunny and jelly bean activities added in!

Happy Easter!
