Besides our morning meeting, we have taught Zones of Regulation to all of the grades. This common language has helped all of our students identify their emotions and strategies to deal with big emotions.

Our students love recess in the snow. We recently purchased sleds and students are enjoying sledding down our little hill. Students should bring outerwear to school in a bag to put on before recess. Please make sure they have hats, warm waterproof gloves, snow pants, scarves and boots if they want to play in the snow. Don’t forget to label your child’s outerwear so it does not end up in the Lost & Found. Thank you!

We are continuing our daily CARE meetings into second semester. We wanted to highlight our January and February themes:

January: Perseverance - which goes along with goal setting and sticking to something you have decided to do. All students will participate in setting a goal and what they can do to work on that goal.

February: Peer Relationships - A study out of Berkeley University reaffirms the importance of peer relationships.

Both the quantity and quality of relationships matter for kids.

• Studies have found that young children with higher numbers of friends are less likely to be lonely, and more likely to like and be engaged at school.

• Positive peer relationships help make children more resilient, even when they face difficulties at home.

Throughout the month of February, students will engage in discussions and activities to help build and maintain positive peer relationships.

The District 303 Community Preschool Program will be conducting its annual registration lottery. Enrollment will be offered online from January 19 to February 2, 2021. Two informational meetings will be offered via Zoom for all interested community families who reside in District 303. The lottery enrollment link and informational meeting's registration link can be found on the District website on the Early Childhood page. Please note, in order to receive the Zoom links for the informational meetings, you must complete the registration form.

The District 303 Kindergarten enrollment process for the 2021-2022 school year will be virtual! Between January 19 and March 12, families will be able to enroll their kindergarten-age children by visiting the Kindergarten Registration & Information page of the District 303 website. On the site you will find:

• The New Student Intake Form (coming January 19, 2021)
• The Kindergarten Step-by-Step Guide for registration
• Health and Dental exams and immunization information
• Contact information for all elementary schools
• Information about Full Day and Half Day Kindergarten

Families who wish to submit a Middle School Transfer request may do so beginning February 1, 2021. Families must complete a separate form for each student they want to be transferred. Requests are granted based on space available. This means that siblings are not guaranteed placement. A written decision will be communicated to families before spring break.

Once the request is approved, a student may remain at that middle school throughout his or her middle school career, as long as the student resides in District 303.

Families of students granted permission to attend a school outside of their assigned attendance area are responsible for their own transportation.

Students will return to their assigned attendance area high school regardless of the middle school attended.

The Middle School Transfer request window will close at 4:00pm on February 26, 2021.

If you have questions, please contact Tammy Marsan at: 331-228-2397.
