Mavericks Team Update
December 21, 2016
Today is the First Day of Winter and the Last Day Before Break!
What are we doing today? Today we are going to have an attendance incentive party. Our original plan was to reward those students with 100% attendance between the first day back from Thanksgiving Break and yesterday. HOWEVER, our kiddos worked so hard to be here that they moved our team to not only surpassing our attendance goal but moved us to being one of the teams with the highest percentage of attendance! All Mavericks students, despite any absences between Thanksgiving and yesterday will attend this party. The administration is rewarding us with a Pizza Party as well.
We also will be having an assembly in the gym; after all, today is Spirit Day as well!
A few extra notes:
- School resumes on January 4th! We hope everyone has a safe, warm, and joyous break!
- Teachers will be finalizing 2nd quarter/1st semester grades the week we return from break. Our team often works from home during the weekends and at nights, but we can't guarantee that we will be able to over break.
- Be sure to have your students READ DAILY over break! Reading daily has been proven to not only sharpen students' reading skills but their writing, comprehension, and problem-solving skills as well!
- Feel free to order Scholastic books online over break! If you do, they will be delivered in January. All orders allow Mrs. Goodwin to buy the books that students have requested her to add to her library! Website: Scholastic Classroom Code: N8ZDY
- The next session of EDP will start on January 16th. A form will be included in this newsletter as soon as they become available; they will also be available in the office.
