Week of November 28, 2021
A Word From Principal Haynes
Greetings Parents,
I hope that you each had a restful and safe Thanksgiving break. We have three full weeks until the winter holidays are upon us, but those three weeks are packed with academic learning as well as fun. Please ensure that your child is in attendance each and every day AND on time as each moment of instruction counts! Our academic day begins with an intervention hour that is designed to help your child get assistance with reading skills to improve their performance as a reader no matter what level they are at. Students CANNOT miss this hour, nor can they be late. Please do all you can to make sure that your child is here at the beginning of the day--their promotion to the next grade level can be in jeopardy.
By now, you should have been able to access your child's 1st quarter report card AND their 2nd quarter interim on Virtual Counselor. Students who are at risk for retention have received an interim report. If you are unsure, please reach out to your child's teacher.
Please pay close attention to the information in the newsletter and visit our school website for the most up to date information!
Here are some ways you can support learning at home:
- Have your child go on iReady nightly (math one day, reading the next day)
- Have your child READ every night or practice recognizing letters/sight words
- Have your child TALK to you about what they read so you can see if they understand it
- Have your child practice their math facts (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)
- Have your child practice WRITING, both handwriting and writing information
- TALK to them about what they are doing in school
There is a LOT of information in this newsletter, but PLEASE read it thoroughly!!
Wishing you an AMAZING and BLESSED week ahead!!
Principal Haynes

Thought for the Week
HEADPHONES FOR STUDENTS!!
If you have not purchased headphones for your child, PLEASE do so ASAP. In order for the children to work on iReady and other computer programs, they NEED headphones! You should purchase a good, steady pair that could last all year. Ear buds are not good for using at school, students need the kind that fits over their ears. Place the headphones in the ziploc bag to REMAIN at school so they don't get damaged.
Identification badges
All of our employees and students are required to wear identification badges at all times while on campus. When visitors are on campus, they are also required to wear some form of identification.
Students will get their ID badges after picture day on September 10th. Lost ID badges will be replaced three (3) times at no cost to the parent. After that, a replacement ID badge will cost $3. It will be the parent's responsibility to pay the fee to replace the badge.
Student Uniforms
Village Elementary is a mandatory unified dress code school. It is expected that all students are in uniform, Monday through Friday with the exception of designated school spirit days which will be announced ahead of time. The student dress code guidelines outlined in the Code of Student Conduct will be enforced.
