Southside Elementary News
Week of 1/22/18
From Mrs. Allen
Last week, we were in the single digits, this week we will see temperatures in the 50s! Either way, we are thankful for a week of slightly warmer temperatures and FUN activities!! Please see information below regarding the Great Kindness Challenge. We encourage you to visit with your kids this week about the acts of kindness they have shown and have been shown to them! As always, please let us know if we can help you with anything!
The Great Kindness Challenge Week!
The week of Jan. 22nd - 26th, our students will be participating in the Great Kindness Challenge where they will get to build upon skills of showing kindness through simple acts. These activities are voluntary, and we have already seen so many of our Southside students demonstrating kindness to others. We can't wait to see the fruit that next week brings! Here is an example of the activities your child will have the option of participating in:
Yearbooks are on sale!
If you have not already purchased a yearbook for the 2017-2018 school year, they are still on sale! Yearbooks are $25. If you wish to order a yearbook, we have some forms in the office. Please just let us know!
Winter Temperatures - It's COLD!!
We will go outside if the temperature and wind chill are above 32 degrees. Please make sure your child brings a coat! If your child does not have a coat and needs one, please let us know! It is very helpful if your child's coat has their name in it! Our lost and found gets full this time of the year!
Class Party Dates (January and February)
The class party dates for January and February birthdays are as follows:
Friday, January 26th
Wednesday, February 14th (Valentine's Party Day will also be this day)
LUNCH CHARGES
HELP!!! If you send a student to school with money to pay on their lunch account, please make sure the student's name is on an envelope that is with the money. We have had some cases of "Mystery Money" that are very, very difficult to track down. We appreciate your help with this!!
Parent Center - in-house and online!
Have you visited our Parent Center at Southside? It is located just 2 doors down from the office and is STOCKED with resources for Y-O-U! Brochures for outside services, leveled math and reading materials, and SO MUCH more are waiting for you. Please get with your child's teacher if you need any guidance as to what levels would be most appropriate for your child. Please check in with our office before going to the Parent Center. Let us know if you have any questions!!
But WAIT - there's more!!!
