Principal's message - week 26
Greetings North Plains Families!
I hope you have been able to stay dry and warm this week, it sure has been a wet one! Here at school, the rain sometimes means students have to stay in for recess and that can be frustrating!
Attached to the email with this link are several handouts that you may want to take a look at. Here is what to look for:
1. December and January editions of home/school connection newsletter. This has some great tips for parents about how to help students be successful.
2. Glencoe Lacross information. If your student is interested in Lacross, check this out!
3. OBOB book lists. There are currently 11 teams of students in grades 3-5 and 4 sixth grade teams for OBOB, and it's not too late to sign up! I am beginning battles this coming week on Wednesdays during lunch. If your child does not have a team but wants to join, that's fine! We'll find a team for every interested student. Ned more info? Contact Renee Ramey at mailto:only2be@gmail.com
Our next PTO meeting is this coming Tuesday at 8:30 AM. Please come if you can!
I'll keep this brief today:) Have a great weekend everyone!
Becky

Along the same lines, state testing will be coming up before we know it, and there are always questions around what happens and why. The following link will take you to a document that will explain more about what Smarter Balance is important and what it is.
