Good News Call of the Day
Staff Meeting
We had a staff meeting scheduled this Wednesday, September 25 at 8:00 am in the Information Classroom. In place of this meeting, you will have time to meet with your teem to look at and learn about the Second Step curriculum. Our first lesson for Second Step will begin on Tuesday, October 1st. Here is the link to the pacing calendar again.
Fire Drill
A Fire Drill is scheduled for Thursday, 9/26 at 9:15am.
Fall Conferences
Conferences are around the corner. The dates are:
Monday, October 14 – 11:00am – 7:00pm
Tuesday, October 15 – 8:00am – 4:00pm
Please keep a few things in mind as we approach conferences:
- To ensure consistency across the building, please don't schedule conference times outside of the times above. Often families try to schedule alternative times due to vacations. If this is the case, you can offer a phone conference to discuss student progress.
-Each student is allotted ONE conference time. Split families will occasionally ask for two conferences. Consistency is important in both of these areas.
-Teachers are expected be in the building during the common conferencing times. Connie will send out the link for you to reserve your lunch and break times.
Conference Food
Our wonderful PTO will be providing:
Monday - lunch 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm, snacks @ 12:00 p.m.
Tuesday - lunch 11:00 am -1:00 pm, snacks @ 9:00 a.m.
Walk-a-thon
The Walk-a-thon will take place on Friday, October 4th. The walking schedule for the day will come out sometime this week. Continue to encourage ALL of our students to participate by fundraising, even if its $5.
For the Walk-a-thon, a schedule will be released early next week. If you like to plan ahead, your grade level can begin to work on creating a sign/banner that signals what grade you are!
The Walk-a-thon video was created by our Hopkins Marketing team. Also, Amy Bisbee (Axel and Bella - 6th grade), again is doing an amazing job organizing this event. If you get a chance, please thank Amy for her time and energy.
Above is the link to a screencast that explains the prizes. This wasn’t shown in this years video. Please show to students and post to social media, classroom newsletters, etc.
