Last 8 Weeks of School
It is so hard to believe that we are down to our last 8 weeks of school. When we get to this point in the year, there always seems to be a lot of extra activities going on. However, the most important is the day to day teaching and learning that occurs in the classroom. It is important that your child is in school every day ready to learn. Thank you for doing your part in having a strong finish to this school year.
Visitor Management System
Our Visitor Management System is up and running. Thank you for your patience as we get used to our new system. We have received very positive feedback from parents as it increases the level of security of our students and staff. Keeping our school safe is our top priority.
March Bridge Builders
Walk-a-Thon
We will be having our Walk-a-Thon for our spring fundraiser. It is scheduled for Tuesday, April 10th. We will be shuttling students to and from the football stadium at Cabot High School. Your child should have already brought home an envelope for pledges/donations. Thank you in advance for helping us with this fundraiser. We greatly appreciate your support and are looking forward to our Walk-a-Thon.
ACT Aspire Testing
Third and fourth grade students will be participating in the ACT Aspsire testing. The dates for third grade are April 17th & 18th. The dates for fourth grade are April 19th & 20th. It is very important that your child is here and on time those days. Your child's teacher has worked very hard this year to prepare students for this assessment. Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep and has a good breakfast on his/her testing days.
Marco's Pizza Night
Marco's Pizza Night is Thursday, April 19th. If you order pizza from Marco's on this night, be sure to mention Magness Creek Elementary.
MobyMax Certificates/Rewards
MobyMax is a computer based learning program that is individualized to meet students' needs. We have set every student up with a MobyMax account. Because it is computer based, students can access it at school or at home. Students are assigned lessons based on their specific learning goals. As they begin to master those goals, they are issued a MobyMax Certificate. Students are working to get rewards for their MobyMax Certificates. These rewards are given out at the end of each month. The reward is a necklace with a "Paw Tag" for each certificate and to be recognized on the intercom during morning announcements. For the month of April, certificates need to earned by 3:00 on Wednesday, April 25th. Ask your child about MobyMax!
