Principal Corner - Fresh Start for Second Quarter
Welcome to the Second Quarter of the 2022-2023 School Year.
Report Cards are being finalized and should be available by Friday in PowerSchool. Thus, grades may change from what you have seen.
In two weeks we have Parent/ Teacher Conferences. These are important dates to review your child's progress, areas of success and areas of need. Teachers will share the Home/ School Compact. Please review this 'Best Practice' sheet and ask your child's teacher if you have questions. Classroom programs and procedures should also be reviewed. If additional time is needed, another conference can be scheduled.
Great Alaska Shake Out - 10:20am on 10/20 (Thursday). Students will practice an Earthquake Drill: go under desks, hold on the desk legs, wait after shaking stops before getting up. Fairbanks does have its fair share of earthquakes.
- Kindergarteners and First Graders - enter the building at 7:45am and go to the Commons. With the colder temperatures and snow our youngest students will come in early.
- Snow Gear - check your child's snow gear. Students will call if they are needing a snow gear item to be warm at recess. Check-out this guideline for what to wear.
- PTA Meeting - Wednesday, October 19th at 3pm in our Library.
Thank you for everyone who helped with the PTA Fall Festival. We had over 600 people, a lot of costumes, a lot of FUN. As a school we are not having a school Halloween Parade, so check with your teachers about a possible classroom party with costumes for October 28th.
- Door Contest Winner: Mrs. Humphrey's Kindergarten Class
- Candy Corn Guess Winners: Josiah and Rosalee.
- Silent Auction Classroom Gift Baskets: winners will be contacted this week.
If the weather conditions are looking difficult, consult the Inclement Weather Decision Making flowchart. This helps us all understand the process for delaying or canceling school.
