Behavior
Their goal is to earn a minimum of 8 out of 10 points each week AND a total of 80% of points by the end of the 3-week period, which is Tuesday, February 22nd-Friday, March 11th.
We will continue this tracking system after Spring Break with a different goal students are working towards. We'll keep you updated as that approaches.
Let's work together as a team and encourage our kiddos to be Panda Proud at school to earn a spot as a Super Kids Day Helper!
Thanks for your support!
School Fundraiser- School Store
Parent Information Envelopes went home with kids to let their parents know about a safe and easy way for our school to raise funds for essential tools our students and teachers need to succeed.
The SchoolStore fundraiser is 100% online so there is NO face-to-face selling, handling money, or delivering products. Their participation will take less than 12 minutes, and there are exciting prizes to make it fun for the students.
Here is all they need to do to participate:
1. Go to https://www.schoolstore.net/sid.t?0000285959 to sign up.
2. Send form emails inviting family, friends and co-workers to support your child.
3. Return the Envelope with the Student Prize Code to school for your child to get their fun participation prize.
