Grade Level Assemblies-Monday & Tuesday

We will have our grade level assemblies to recognize students for the 2nd 9 weeks.  The schedule for the assemblies is listed below:

Monday:  K-8:30, 1st-9:30 2nd 10:30

Tuesday:  3rd-8:30 4th-9:30 5th-10:30



Morning Meetings

This is a reminder:  Morning Meetings each day are a school and district expectation.  By facilitating these each day you are investing in the social and emotional well being of our students, and setting them up to learn for the day!  We have these factored into our master schedule.  Your daily morning meetings should begin promptly by 8:05 (right after announcements).  The meeting should only last 5-10 minutes.  If you need any support on ideas for your meetings, please let us know.  



AimsWeb Math Testing

We will continue our AimsWeb Math testing this week.  


Dress-up Days



Faculty/Staff Christmas Party

Our faculty/staff Christmas party will be on Thursday, 12/14 from 2:15 to 3:15 in the North Training Room  Our personal children may attend. We will have food, fun, and some prizes! 

 

Early Dismissal for Students on Friday
 
We will dismiss students at 12:00 on Friday, December 15, and will be operating under the following early dismissal schedule.  There will be no specials on Friday; please look for your adjusted PE and lunch times. 

Update:  We will do grab & go lunches, so please coordinate with your partner teacher to avoid all students having to walk to the lunchroom..  Please plan to eat in your classrooms or and outside spot (possibly in the courtyard) if weather permits.  Let the front office know where you are if you do not eat in the classroom.






Room Cleanup

Please have students get trash and unnecessary items out of desk and lockers before leaving on Friday.  Please make sure any food/candy bagged securely and placed in a high cabinet. Please make sure lamps, twinkle lights, etc. are turned off before you leave on Friday.

Please continue to keep the following Paine Family Members in your thoughts and prayers:
Novah Rice (Destin & Cody)
