We are in need of hand sanitizer. If you are able to I would appreciate any donations of this. Thanks so much in advance!

I sent an email out this past week about not receiving our packages of pictures. The Schofield office is aware as there were other classes with the same issue. Retakes are still scheduled for the 17th, however, I will update you once I hear back.

I apologize for this lag time, but please know our office is working hard to figure out where the delay is with that company.

Schofield T-Shirts Now Available

It is time to start Livin' that Schofield Life, families! We have a limited supply of t-shirts available in youth sizes. If you would like to purchase one, please send $12 cash in an envelope marked "Schofield T-Shirt" along with your student's name and size. Youth small, youth medium and youth large are the available sizes.

Drop off is 8:10-8:30 everyday. Students eating breakfast will go straight to the cafeteria to ensure they are back in their classroom by 8:30. Students who are not eating breakfast at school will come straight to our classroom.

School dismisses daily at 3:30 with the exception of Fridays. Fridays we dismiss at 2:30. If your child will be going home a way other than their normal routine please send a note or call the office first thing. This ensures that I can get your child home safely! While I do try to check my voicemail and email throughout the day this isn't the best way to reach me for transportation changes. If you email or call too late in the day I may not see it until it's too late. The safest bet is for a note to be sent in the morning or for you to call our office (732-3610).

Please let me know ahead of time if you are sending in treats. This will help alleviate multiple treats on one day (and hopefully tummy aches). Thanks in advance!

Here at Schofield we are all about student learning! Our goal is to see at least 80% of students proficient in all areas. Below are the learning objectives we will be looking at and working with this week.

Reading: I can determine the author's purpose. We will text later in the week.

Writing: I can publish a narrative. We will start our next unit of a historical fiction piece as well.

Math: I can compare and order fractions.

Content: I can describe the interactions between Early Missourians and Native Americans..

WIN Time: I can subtract with regrouping (There will be varying levels of this happening depending on student need. WIN = What I Need)

We will be setting goals frequently throughout the year as a class. I will post these for you to see our growth as we go.

Math: 82% of students will be able to subtract with regrouping.

Reading: 80% of students will be able to identify the author's purpose of a text with supporting details.

Schofield's proportional attendance rate for the week was 95.53%. Remember our building level goal is to have a proportional attendance rate of more than 95%.

Schofield Elementary PTO collects box tops. If you send the box tops to school, the PTO will do the rest. Each box top is worth $0.10. They add up quickly and all money collected goes directly to Schofield. Be on the lookout because they appear on all kinds of products. Thank you in advance for your help.

We currently have 146 Tiger Paws.

We talked about the following topic:

Applying effective problem-solving, decision-making and refusal skills to make safe and healthy life choices at school. Identifying issues that impact personal safety and coping skills for managing life changes or events.

Please ask your student about the balloon and the straws we used and why.

Your student will be bringing home a portfolio, at the end of the year, showing you EVERYTHING we did.
