CRUSADER NEWS THAT YOU CAN USE....
March 11, 2019
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC AS WELL AS OUR FAMILIES
You must have access to your Renweb account to re-enroll your child.
You will login to www.renweb.com and log into your own Renweb account.
IF YOU NEED HELP, PLEASE ASK IN THE BUSINESS OFFICE! THEY ARE HAPPY TO HELP.
1 of the grades is full and several others are filling up quickly.
All re-enrollments are completed online.
Here is the link to Re-Enrollment information.We have heard that some parents had difficulty using the APP, yet some were able to without any issue. So, if the APP does not work for you it may have something to do with your particular phone or carrier. In that case, please use a desktop computer. It is easier on the computer regardless.
You can also pick up a printed copy of the registration information in the school office.
We encourage you to take advantage of our Referral program and recommend our school to your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers. For more information, please contact the business office. We are especially interested in referrals to our K5 and VPK classes this year.
Have a great week,
Mrs. Mackey
PTL MEETING AND POTLUCK DINNER TOMORROW!
PK2 Enrollment
A very good article for you to read
Coming soon....More info to follow
This will be open to the first 15 families who enroll.
There is a nominal fee of $20 to help offset the cost of the 8 weeks worth of meals that are provided (Yes, you don't have to cook dinner on Monday night for 8 weeks).
Be on the lookout for the enrollment form and return it promptly.
I-Ready and IXL
Students should be using both the I-Ready (Reading) and IXL (Math) at least 45 minutes per week. We just finished the 2nd assessment period and there is a definite connection between the number of minutes per week spent on the program and the improvement that is evident based on the scores. And, they have to be quality minutes when the student is actually focusing and trying to work on this, not just mindlessly sitting in front of the screen.
Please make sure that your child is doing the required number of minutes. They do have some time at school but it really is something to be worked on at home. We all know that kids waste at least an hour and half a week on mindless things like video gaming and television. 45 minutes per week in math and in reading on the computer is really not excessive.
If you have any questions, please see your child's teacher.

DANGEROUS INFORMATION BEING SHARED ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND YOUTUBE WITH CHILDREN
The first is MOMO. I have included a link for your review. This encourages suicide
https://www.local10.com/news/what-parents-need-to-know-about-momo-challenge-
The second involves subliminal messages that are being included into children's cartoons and also fortnite. I have no seen any of these and I do not know if it is true but I am passing it along to you.
Next is the 2 day hiding challenge:
It is clear that our children can be exposed to dangerous things on the internet and social media and also on online gaming such as fortnite and roblox. That is where parents come in. I have heard of children as young as 2nd grade, playing fortnite with strangers. Here is an example of why that is not a good activity.
The internet can be a great place to get information and also for entertainment. But, it must be monitored by parents. And, parents need to know just as much if not more about computers than their children do.
