Here's What's Happening at East Meadows....
It's hard to believe that we only have seven weeks of school left! We are headed into a busy and fun spring season here at East Meadows. Check out the newsletter for information about all upcoming events!
Class Photos and Spring Pictures - Wednesday, April 10th
It's time to SMILE! Eastman Adams will be coming to do standing class pictures as well as Spring Pictures on Wednesday, April 10th. Flyers were sent home last week. All students will be photographed standing with their class on the stage that day (no cost to parents for this photo). The individual Spring Pictures are optional and only students who return their picture packet will have their photo taken. If you would like to order your pictures online, use the code provided on the flyer below.
PTA SKATE NIGHT + PTA NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY
- This week you will receive an email asking you to fill out a needs assessment for the PTA. Please watch for that email in your inbox and take a moment to provide feedback to our PTA board. Your opinion and feedback are valuable to us! You can also access the form by clicking here!
- This Thursday, the PTA will be hosting another free skate night for families at Classic Skating from 4:30 - 8:30 PM. See the flyer below for more detail!
Teacher Appreciation Week - April 15th - 19th
Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week is just around the corner and the PTA would love your help! The theme this year is BACK TO THE 90's. Be sure to check your email or visit Facebook or Instagram for more information on how you can join in showing some love to our amazing teachers & staff for all that they do for our kids. There will be daily themes and opportunities for students to honor their teachers. Sign ups will be shared via email and on social media.
Upcoming Track Meets
Our 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students will have the opportunity this month to participate in track events at the annual Spanish Fork City Track Meet. The meet will be held at the Spanish Fork High School track and stadium on the following days;
THIRD GRADE: Tuesday, April 23rd
FOURTH GRADE: Wednesday, April 25th
FIFTH GRADE: Tuesday, April 30th
The track meets will all begin promptly at 9:45 AM. Parking can be tricky, so arrive early to avoid traffic. In case of inclement weather, the city has planned for Thursday, April 29th as a makeup day.
End of Year Testing
Over the coming weeks, we will be preparing for and then take our end of year reading and math assessment tests. The students have been working hard and are excited to show what they know! You can help your child perform well on their assessments by doing the following:
- Ensure your child gets a good nights sleep and eats a healthy breakfast before school each day.
- Students should arrive at school on time and plan to be at school every day.
- Reassure your child that there is no need to be worried or stressed. Encourage them to have a good attitude and do their best.
- Please communicate with your child's teacher if you plan to be absent as make-up testing will need to be scheduled.
Thanks so much for all you do to support our school!
