Summer! 6/28/19
I hope you are enjoying the first 2 weeks of summer! Hopefully the weather will cooperate again soon!
I've been at school finishing some things up and cleaning like a mad woman! Cupboards are getting emptied and supply closets organized. One thing I've found is a plethora of lined filler paper! (see pics below). If you haven't bought supplies yet, PLEASE DO NOT BUY NOTEBOOK PAPER! We really need to use some of this stuff. Another thing we have a ton of is PENCILS! So unless the grade level requested some specific pencil for some reason, please don't buy them at this point. Our cupboards are overflowing! Things we definitely do need include tissue paper, printing paper, and the standard markers, glue etc. All this said, if you are not in a position to purchase school supplies for whatever reason, PLEASE let me know and I"ll hook you up! We even have backpacks to provide for students, just ask!
Great news! I've hired an amazing teacher to replace Mr. McDowall for next year. Amanda Bethune has been teaching at Ladd Acres for the last several years and is a teacher leader in our district. She will be teaching the 3/4 split, working with Ms. Phipps in 3rd grade and Ms. Ravins in 4th grade. Please join me in welcoming her to our staff!

Just a reminder that you should receive an email the week of Aug. 19 letting you know your child's teacher for the year.
I've gotten some questions about gym construction - it is scheduled to begin the first part of November and be ready for fall of 2020. Summer of 2020 the new turnaround for parents will be completed and ready for fall of 2020 as well. The 2nd North Plains Elementary (it will have a different name), will open fall of 2021. I don't know exactly when they begin construction on that.
Enjoy!
