Message from the Principal
Dear Slate Hill families,
Your partnership in your child's learning is key to their success! I hope that all of our parents have scheduled a conference to talk with their child's teacher to learn how their child has grown so far this year. If you have missed this opportunity, please email your child's teacher today. Also, don't forget to come on Thursday, February 9th to the book fair in our library. We will be open until 8pm on the 9th! This is a wonderful way to support Slate Hill and your child's reading.
This week is National School Counselor's Week! We are so lucky to have Mrs. Stefanee Loges, school counselor and Mr. Andrew Sells, school counselor intern at Slate Hill supporting our students and staff! Please encourage your child to participate in our Spirit week 2/6-2/10. This is a fun way to remind our students that their school counselors are here to help support, listen, and help them dream big! See the flier below in the counselor's corner.
Please check out the Worthington Alliance for Black Families and Educators (WABFE) January Newsletter. WABFE January Newsletter
Have a wonderful week,
Julie
Julie Gulley, Slate Hill Principal

Counselor's Corner
Book Fair -February 6th-10th!
Book Fair Volunteers Needed!
The book fair is just around the corner, and we are looking for book fair volunteers to help students shop for and pick out amazing books (and, occasionally, erasers and pencils) when their class gets to visit! This is especially helpful during the before-school rush and the lunch/recess time when any student may visit the book fair, but we also have some after-school spots available if that works better with your schedule! To see what dates/times are available (and to sign up, if you want!), go to this website: https://tinyurl.com/428dnxe8
