Scott Dual Language Magnet
Dear Scott Families,
Happy New Year from Scott DL!
We hope that everyone had a wonderful winter break and is ready for a new year of learning and growth. January is a month full of exciting events and activities, and we can't wait to get started.
Highlights!
DECEMBER SPIRIT
Students and staff showed their December spirit by sporting with tacky sweaters, crazy socks, their favorite team, cozy PJs, and festive attire!
LEARNING ABOUT BOARDS OF EDUCATION IN 3rd GRADE!
3rd-grade students had an excellent opportunity to learn about the Board of Education during their government unit.
5th GRADE BAND & STRINGS CONCERT
We hosted our first band and strings concert on 11/30! Students grades 3-5 got the opportunity to watch their final rehearsal and learned how to be a good audience! That evening, students did a fantastic job showing their ROAR, as well as their musical talents!
Information
H.O.P.E. - NEW APPLICATION REQUIRED
Due to changes in staffing and an increased focus on reading skills, we will be restructuring our classes for H.O.P.E. in January 2023 and going to two days (instead of three). HOPE will now only be on Wednesdays and Thursdays. We ask that new and current families that would like to participate in H.O.P.E. during the second semester reapply here. Students selected to participate during the third quarter will receive an acceptance letter before the start date, Wednesday, January 11, 2023 (note the date change). Please feel free to contact Megan Edmonds @ medmonds@tps501.org should you have any questions.
