Home of the Little Giants - November 19, 2021
Each week the Little Giant News is published through an online Smore newsletter. In it, you will find important school and community information. Please take a moment each week to read and review this newsletter so that you can stay up to date on important events that are happening in your school and school district.
Reminder: We will only have school on Monday and Tuesday next week. We will have Thanksgiving Break starting Wednesday, from November 24- 28th. We will return to school Monday, November 29th.
Internet Connectivity Homework
If your child attempted to log into Canvas to complete this assignment, but you were unable to connect to WIFI, please let your child's teacher know right away.
It is important that we know that your child is able to access the internet to use their Chromebook. In the event we have severe weather that prevents us from coming into school, our district will have an e-learning day. This means students will participate in lessons online, and attendance will be recorded when they complete this work. Students that do not log in will be marked absent for that day.
Again, if you are unable to access the internet at home, please contact your child's teacher.
Congratulations to our Little Giants of the Week
Achievement Wall
Way to go Olivia and Adelyne! We are so proud of you!!!
Prize Wheel
As part of our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) plan, each student is given a punch card. As they demonstrate positive behaviors, such as kindness, responsibility, and respect, they receive a hole punch. Once they fill up their punch card, they get to spin the wheel and earn a prize. It's a HUGE HIT with our kindergartners!

Important Note About Free Meal Program
While all students are eligible for free meals for the 2021-22 school year, there are restrictions to the program per the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) guidelines.
If your student brings lunch from home but still wants milk, fruit, or a vegetable to go with their meal, the USDA requires us to charge a small fee because it is considered an a la carte “add-on” purchase. According to USDA rules, the free program only applies to “complete” meals.
To avoid this fee, students who bring their lunch from home are invited to go through the lunch line and get fruit, vegetable, and milk for FREE. This meets the USDA requirements for a balanced meal so there is no cost.
The program will run through June 2022, or until USDA funding runs out (whichever occurs first).
