Spring is Here!
It is hard to believe that we are entering March and I that I am already sending out information about the end of the third 9-weeks, Parent Conferences, and Spring Break! However, it is here and I want to make sure you are up to date on all the latest activities and important dates.
February Bridge Builders
Congratulations to our February Bridge Builders!
Dr. Seuss' Birthday
Thursday, March 2nd is Dr. Suess' birthday. We will be having some guest readers in our classrooms. PTO will be providing cupcakes to all the students to help us celebrate this wonderful children's book author. Happy birthday, Dr. Suess!
Skate Night
PTO is sponsoring our spring Skate Night at Joyland Skating Rink in Cabot on Thursday, March 9th. This is always a fun night for students. The hours are from 6:00 - 8:00.
Parent Conferences
The last day of the third 9-weeks grading period is Tuesday, March 7th. After that date, teachers will be finalizing report cards to present to you at Parent Conferences. The dates for Parent Conferences are Tuesday March 14th and Thursday, March 16th. School will dismiss at 2:00 on those days. Conferences will be scheduled from 2:45 until 7:00. Your child's teacher will be sending home the date and time of your child's conference. School will be closed on Friday, March 17th.
Spring Break!
Spring Break is the week of March 20th - 24th. This is the week following Parent Conferences. So, the students will be out of school from March 17th - March 27th. We hope everyone has a wonderful Spring Break.
Inclement Weather
We have reached that point in time of the year where we do not have any more snow days built into the school year. If we do get a late snow day(s), the make-up days will be added at the end of the year. If we do not have to add any days, the last day of school will be Thursday, May 25th.
Body Mass Index (BMI) Screenings
Every year we are required to conduct Body Mass Index (BMI) Screenings on our Kindergarten, second grade and fourth grade students. This year we are scheduled to conduct them on Thursday, March 30th. Some of the other nurses in the district will be here to help Nurse Danna. They just get the height and weight of a student to get the BMI. If parents want their child's results, contact Nurse Danna and she will send home the information.
Spring Walk-a-Thon
Magness Creek is having our Spring Walk-a-Thon on Friday, April 7th. Your child will be bringing home information about the Walk-a-Thon towards the end of March.
