Classroom Updates
Dear Parents,
Here's a quick heads up about some upcoming district tests the kids will be taking so you can plan accordingly.
Before February 6th - they will be taking their Reading/Writing mid-term assessment.
February 13th - they will be taking their Math mid-term assessment on Module 5. This is important because it's the Friday before the 3 day weekend so the teachers would recommend not taking our children out of school early that day.
Good luck with the studying, I'm sure all the kids will do great. If you have specific questions on the tests, then please talk with Ms. Russo.
Join the Auction Committee!!
Seeking fun people!! We still need volunteers to help with the online silent auction and Gala, both taking place in March. You need not attend the Wednesday morning meetings to participate, so if getting to the morning meetings or time commitment has been a worry, you can still join our team! There are many different ways to take part in this wonderful fundraiser for the school, and the more help we get, the more successful the events will be. Contact Linnea McArt (linnea13@gmail.com, 917.826.8591) to discuss! Our meetings take place every Wednesday @ 8:20a in B5 (meetings are done by 9am).
This is a great opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the school through your participation in the event preparation alone!
TIME IS TICKING ON LOST AND FOUND!
Lost & Found items will be donated at the end of each month so please check the bins by the back stairway before Friday, January 30 if you have missing items. We do have parent volunteers who will help return LABELED items to their rightful owners. Please consider marking your student's sweaters, jackets, and lunch boxes with printed labels (see information on Name Bubbles) or a fabric pen and also making regular checks through the bins. Thank you.
Glee Club every Friday!!
