Principal For a Day!
My name is Kaydee Koldos and I got to be principal for the day at Forest Glen. I got to eat in the teachers lounge. I got to change the Forest Glen sign. I went on a secret tour of the school. I made buttons for the 3rd graders. I passed out tokens to kids who were being good. I got to go to the district office and meet Mr. Lacroix. The best part of my day was making buttons!
Final Timbertail Apparel Sale for 2018-2019!
CORRECTION TO THE GETTING READY FOR LINEVILLE SUMMER SCHOOL CLASS
Getting Ready For Lineville Intermediate School – (Grade 5 and new Intermediate school students) 8:30-12 noon each session. Please sign up for only 1 session - August 20th OR August 21st.
Where will my locker be located? How do I work a combination lock? What classes will I be taking? Will I be able to find my classes without getting lost? Activities will include tours of the intermediate school, practicing locker combinations, learning about the intermediate school structure and schedule. Students will be able to meet most of the 5th grade staff so there will be a familiar face and smile on the first day of school.
At 11 o’clock, adults will join students for a Passport Experience giving the students more time to practice getting around and show off what they have learned! This time will also be an alternative “Open House” time allowing for parent(s) to meet teachers and everyone to set up their lockers! Using this time eliminates the need to come during the hectic district Open House night. Students will get a head start and feel much more comfortable transitioning to the Intermediate School by taking this class. Students should enroll in only 1 session.
