FOURTH GRADE RECOGNITION PLANS
Dear Fourth Grade Families,
Over the past few weeks, I have been collaborating with our fourth grade teachers, Mrs. Snyder, and our Home and School association to explore ideas on how to recognize our fourth grade friends as they transition to Skyview. Please see below for more information.
If the Stay-At-Home Order Is Lifted on Thursday, 6/4, . . .
- Fourth grade students are invited to participate in a recognition parade.
- The parade is scheduled from 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM on Friday, June 5th, with a rain date of Monday, June 8th, at the same time.
- To avoid congestion on Route 73, please do your best to follow the below schedule:
11:00-11:20: Students with a last name between A-H
11:20-11:40: Students with a last name between I-P
11:40-12:00: Students with a last name between Q-Z
- Please remember to be the “I” in “KIND” and respect others by social distancing.
- Please keep your car moving.
- If interested, please decorate your car.
- On a date that has not yet to be determined, fourth-grade students will be invited back to school to pick up their personal items along with a gift to remind them of their Worcester family and to wish them well as they transition to Skyview.
If The Stay-At-Home Order is Extended Beyond Thursday, 6/4, . . .
- On a date that has not yet to be determined, fourth-grade students will be invited back to school to pick up their personal items along with a gift to remind them of their Worcester family and to wish them well as they transition to Skyview.
Thank you for your support, collaboration, and patience!
Sincerely,
Brian G. Shaffer
Principal, Worcester Elementary School

A MESSAGE FROM MRS. SNYDER
Hello, everyone! One of the many school activities that teachers miss most is class meetings. It’s that weekly time when the whole class gathers together. Teachers follow a framework that allows them to recognize positive behaviors and achievements, share weekly plans, and problem solve with their students. All students have the opportunity to share and contribute to the class meetings. I bet if you ask your child, he/she can tell you all about class meetings.
You can have them at home, too! Often called family meetings, these can be powerful, bonding moments that could provide the weekly structure your family needs right now. Below is a link to help you understand more about family meetings and get started!
A Special Thank You to . . .
A MESSAGE FROM MRS. SCHWARTZ
Hi Wolves,
You are totally rocking it in Art! I hope everyone is having fun with all of the art lessons. Thank you to all the students who shared their art projects with me. I am so proud of our students' work so I created an art gallery slideshow for all to enjoy. I look forward to seeing you and posting more of your artwork.
Wishing you all well,
Mrs. SchwARTz
