November 18: PTO Movie Night & Silent Auction

November 21-22 Puberty Lessons (see previously sent letter)

December 6: 5th grade Winter Music Show, Schofield Gym, 7:45 pm.

Each student has been assigned a district Chromebook to use both at school and at home, if needed. As we approach the winter weather season, starting Tuesday, November 1, elementary students will begin taking these devices to and from school each day in the case of inclement weather.

While our district will still plan to utilize “snow days” in the event of winter storms, there is a limit to how many we are allowed by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. In an effort to prevent our students and staff from having to make up missed days at the end of the school year, students taking devices home daily allows the district to be able to quickly implement an AMI Day (virtual learning), if needed. This will continue for elementary students through the month of March.

Elementary students should not have a need to utilize their school devices outside of school hours. Therefore, it's recommended they stay in backpacks at home when not needed for learning or when not charging. We ask that families send their students to school every day with their fully-charged Chromebook and charger.

If an AMI day needs to be implemented, directions from teachers will be shared with our families and students, which will ensure a smooth day of virtual learning.

Seesaw is coming back, soon!

Free & Reduced Lunch Application - ALL FAMILIES

The application for free/reduced meals is also now available through the SISK12 Parent Portal. Take note, qualifications for this benefit may have changed. While this application was not required for the last two school years, it must be filled out to utilize this benefit during the 2022-2023 school year.

Even if your family does not anticipate qualifying for discounted meals, the free/reduced meal status of our students provides many other opportunities outside of meals. As noted in the graphic above, the percentage of students who qualify for free/reduced meals in our district allows our schools to receive important federal funding that supports student literacy growth, Leader in Me resources and various programs that provide needs for our most at-risk learners.

Go to https://rb.sisk12.net/RB360x3/parent to complete yours form!

Each class will earn an EXTRA RECESS when they reach 90% of students with a completed Free/Reduced Lunch Application!

The School Counselor (Cindy Fenske) visited the classroom this week

We talked about Personal and Social Development and that ALL of our feelings are okay to feel and no one can tell us how to feel.

We played a game call "Emotional Hodgepodge" and got to play with play doh and test our acting abilities. Ask your student exactly what we did.
