School Updates
Week Of November 27, 2023
Dear families,
I hope you are well! Please, take time to enjoy your families this week! I hope you make many happy memories.
Updates:
- School Assemblies: We have assemblies that happen once per month. This month we celebrate Native American heritage and the assembly will center on this. If interested to attend, and/or see your student (s), please e-mail your teacher.
- School Choice Fair: This is happening at the Riverview Center on December 9th at 9:30-2:00 and it is the school choice fair for PreK-12 and all families are welcome! I will be there as usual and so will members of our team. Parent volunteers are always welcome and needed. If interested, reach out to Mme Stephenson at Patricia.stephenson@spps.org
- Winter Open House: This is happening at our school on January, 25th, from 5-6:30. This is for new families and current families!
- Science Of Reading: The SPPS Elementary Literacy vision is to provide all students with access to the tools and experiences to live literate lives and become agents of change. At L'Etoile Du Nord, we do this by focus on decoding and teaching kids how to read with the use of decodable texts and explicit, systematic ways. These ways are based on current research, and these best practices are taught in professional development sessions for our wonderful educators. Our building, Mme Rivard, coach leads this work, and you are always welcome to inquire!
- Parent Pick Up Reminder: If at any time someone other than your family or people on your designated list in iUpdate, will pick up your child, you must provide written permission.
- Picture Retake Day: This year, it is on December 7th, 2023.
- The SPPS calendar can be found here.
