Mrs. Wolf is collecting...
... tall Pringles cans with lids. Once they're rinsed and dried, they're great for storing games. Thanks :)
It's Cold Outside!
All students will go OUTSIDE for recess if it's warmer than 20 degrees Fahrenheit (temperature / wind chill). Please make sure your student has appropriate clothing for the weather!
HEADPHONES!
All students need a pair of headphones or earbuds to use at school. Please check with your child to ensure that (s)he has a working set of headphones at school. Inexpensive headphones can be purchased at many local grocery and department stores.
Fifth Grade Hygiene
Fifth grade is a great time for preteens to step up their hygiene game! In addition to brushing teeth twice a day, they may need to increase the number of showers they take and even start wearing deodorant regularly. Trust us - a fifth grade classroom is not a pleasant place to be after a hot, active recess! Please help us improve our afternoon learning environment by talking about personal hygiene with your student and helping them practice good habits ;)
Weekly Lifeskills Report
Each Friday, your student should bring home a Lifeskills report for the week. It documents how students are following Southside Expectations while they're at school. Please review this document with your student each weekend, sign the paper, and return it to school on Monday mornings.
Thanks for being our partners in nurturing respectful and responsible students!
