What's Happening In Grades 3-5
Clever Families,
We are off to a great start at Clever! This is the first monthly family newsletter for the 2019-2020 school year. Each month we will be e-mailing a monthly newsletter highlighting important events and celebrating our school! In addition to the newsletter, we will use Facebook and SeeSaw to communicate.
Thank you,
Kelly Hobbs, Principal
Be safe, be kind, be responsible
At Clever we are focusing on the three main practices of being safe, being kind, and being responsible. We are encouraging students to recognize they are in charge of themselves and ultimately control their own actions, attitudes, and moods. Ask your child how they are practicing these not only at school but at home too!
Important Dates
September 6- Grandparent's Day 3:00-4:00 p.m.
September 6- PTO Bingo Night
September 13- No School PD Day
Attendance
Please ensure your child is in attendance at school. We miss them when they are gone! Anytime a student is absent is counts against our attendance percentage, even if it is an excused absence. Students who attend school regularly feel more connected to their community, develop important social skills and friendships, and are significantly more likely to graduate from high school, setting them up for a strong future!
Good attendance includes arriving on time and not leaving school early. Our learning begins each day at 8:00 a.m. and students are dismissed at 3:20 p.m. (1:20 p.m. on Fridays).
Below is the attendance per grade level for the month of August:
3rd grade-96.44%
4th grade-97.29%
5th grade-95.06%
3-5 total-96.31%
Our attendance goal is 96% or higher!
Attendance
Classes are working towards spelling the word attendance.
Celebrations
They earn a letter each day they have perfect attendance. They celebrate once they spell out the word.
Transportation Changes
As a reminder, if you are needing to make a change in your child's daily transportation you must call into the office BEFORE 2:00 Monday-Thursday and BEFORE 12:00 on Friday. This ensures adequate time to communicate to our teachers and students any transportation changes.
The Leader in Me
Educators at Clever are beginning their first year of Leader in Me training. Leader in Me focuses on the idea that everyone can be a leader. Be on the look out for more information regarding the Leader in Me!
Communication
Be sure to "like" our new Clever Schools 3-5 page! Also, teachers and offices will be posting on SeeSaw. These are great communication tools we utilize throughout the day to keep you informed of the great things happening here at Clever!
