Principal's Note
Parents, Families, Guardians:
Conferences for all students:
Have you signed up for your family-teacher conference yet? We have opened sign ups for all and are planning to meet our goal of having 100% of our students signed up by or before TODAY!
Please reach out to your teachers or call the main office at 262-970-2800 to set up a time if you have not already done so!!
Celebrate Reading!
This was a great week dedicated to celebrating READING! Ask your child about some of the events that took place at school this week!
Attendance - MARCH MADNESS!
Our friendly attendance tournament has begun! Week TWO results:
After the second week of the March Madness attendance tournament, the classrooms moving on in the competition are....
Dorow Darlings (100% this week) vs
*The Wildcard Team #1* - The Champions (from Ms. Aparniek’s room)
Lenz’s Learners vs Mayszak Madness
Team Greg (from Mrs. Greger’s class) vs
*The Wildcard Team # 2*- Black Mambas (from Mr. Hurdis’s class)
Eliminated teams have two opportunities to return to the competition as a Wildcard Team next week by earning the highest attendance percentage of the week.
What do you need to do to prepare for week two? Nothing extra, just help us by getting your children to school each day! Classrooms will face off based on weekly attendance percentages by class. Our current building % average for the year is 92.6% and our goal is to have 95% average by the end of the year. It's better when we're all together - let's get here everyday!
Special Incentive: ANY class (in this weeks "games" or not) with a weekly % of 95% or higher will get a special treat!
**Ms. Dorow's class was at 100% attendance THE WHOLE WEEK! <-- They will get a special prize on Monday.**
Upcoming Events:
- Friday, March 6th - Shamrock Dance! <--- TONIGHT!
- Monday, March 9th @ 6pm - PTO Meeting
- March 11th or 19th - **Mandatory Family Teacher Conference**
