Holiday Parties
- Parents will enter through the outside doors leading into the cafeteria (not the front entrance). While they are waiting, we will explain the procedures--checking in and how to sign out their students.
- The parties are taking place in the art room, music room, gym and outside on the hardtop. You'll need to avoid the hardtop at recess.
- All grade levels will eat breakfast and lunch in their classrooms! Pick up will be in the library.
- Parents will follow their students back to the classrooms to sign out their children. AFTER the parent signs out their child (in their homeroom), you will give the child(ren) their transportation card. They must have this to exit, and they will be sent back to get it. If they are sent back, be sure they signed out. This step is critical! Since parents might be picking up their child after a sibling's party, you will have parents stopping by at other times. Please allow them to sign their child out at those times as well.
- All teachers should stop by the parties to visit with the students, thank the volunteers who are hosting the parties, and to say hello to parents. It is so much fun for our students, and this is the least we can do to show our appreciation for the PTO to be hosting these instead of having the parties in the classroom. You do not need to stay the whole time, but please make sure your students and parents get to see you. Tweet some fun pictures too!
- While you won't be introducing new material, remember that students must be supervised at all times! This can be a fun day of learning. Be sure there is a plan to avoid the "craziness" that will occur if the students are left to entertain themselves. :)
- Everyone will have a part in helping out. Please refer to the detailed schedule that will be emailed separately.
Rob the Elf
Tickets will be given out Tuesday after school. I will search by using the hashtag. If you did not tweet the post or use #robtheelf, I will not know to give you a ticket. Being in the picture is not enough; you must tweet it yourself. Yes, you may go back and tweet (or retweet) pictures--just be sure you use the correct hashtag. You can check by searching with the hashtag to see if your tweet comes up.

Holiday Twitter Challenge #RESholidaybingo
Many of you have been participating, and there is still time for others. You do not have to get a blackout to win!! The drawing for the bingo winners will be the week we return. This gives everyone time to get some holiday pictures!
This next challenge is similar to our Summer Selfie Bingo Challenge. This is a Holiday Bingo Challenge. You will receive one drawing slip per bingo (up to 5 bingos) and 6 drawing slips if you get a blackout! When you complete a challenge on the bingo card, you'll need to post a picture (or video) of you completing the task AND a picture of the bingo card with that square marked off. Save the picture below to use in your posts. If you need help with how to mark the card or how to post the picture, there are several staff members that can help--just ask! Have fun with this one!! Be sure to tag your tweets with #RESholidaybingo
See the example below the bingo picture. Thank you, Courtney!
