Principal Message
Dear Fammatre Families,
My how time flies! The first trimester of school is already drawing to a close. Report cards will be sent home with your child next Friday, November 22nd, so please remember to look for them in your child’s backpack that day.
We are still looking for parents of students who are English Learners to join our site and district level English Language Advisory Committees. The commitment is 3-4 meetings during the school year. Parent participation on these committees is important to help ensure the programs we provide meet the needs of our students. Please contact the Fammatre office if you are interested in participating.
Finally, I want to thank all of you for supporting our students in transitioning to our new morning drop off routine. As a reminder, our gates open and the first bell rings at 7:55am, we do not have staff available to supervise on the back playground prior to 7:55am. Once the bell rings at 7:55am, students may go to the back playground to play or sit quietly in the quad with parental supervision until the 8:03 bell rings. At that time, we ask that 1st-5th grade students independently hang up their backpacks and line up outside of their classrooms. We are hoping to minimize foot traffic in the hallways outside of the classrooms so that all students can easily hang their backpacks and get to class on time.
Warmly,
Jackie Smith
Principal
