Tracks 1 & 3 and 4/5 Field Day Rain Date Change:
The Rain Date Rain for this Friday's Field Day (K-3, Tracks 1 and 3 and ALL 4/5 grade) has been changed to Monday June 5 versus. Tuesday, June 6th so that Track 1 fifth grade can set up and practice for the Wednesday, June 7th graduation.
Track 2, 3,& 4 Retention Forms dates have been moved up by one week due to Power School needing final retentions posted by June 23rd. Please complete this form and attach any supporting documents to Kevin by Thursday, June 15th in preparation for the final Retention Committee Meeting on Thursday, June 22. Please alert Mr. Biles or Mrs. Fricke if parents will be attending the meeting as we want their input as part of the retention consideration process. We will attempt to arrange this meeting during your specialist planning periods. Remember that if the student has not been reviewed several times by the Intervention Team this year they will not be considered for retention UNLESS there is a special circumstance attached to late enrollment, etc. Students on the consideration list are students that had Consideration of Retention letters sent home in February and that you have shared ongoing concerns with the student's parents in face to face conferences.
End of Year Activities:
Ms. Britt has compiled a list of end of year activities. If you have additional activities, please make sure to let both Ms. Fricke and Ms. Britt know, so that your activity is included. If you need to change your activities, you will be contacted. In general, MAKE SURE THAT WE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND WHERE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE REQUESTING SPACE OUTSIDE OF YOUR CLASSROOM. It is embarrassing and upsetting to cancel an activity before it begins due to a lack of space or because an activity isn’t permitted.
State Health Plan Confirmation:
If you are on the NC State Health Plan you should have received a letter from the NC State Health Plan to confirm if you have dependents on your plan by July 31, 2017 for them to continue on your plan. Please see Kaye if you did not receive your letter.
