Parent Conferences
It is hard to believe that we are approaching the end of the 3rd 9-weeks grading period! Parent conferences will be scheduled for Tuesday, March 12th and Thursday, March 14th. Your child's teacher will be sending you a time for your conference. The teacher will go over your child's report card for the 3rd 9-weeks. We will be dismissing at 2:00 on these two days.
We will not have school on Friday, March 15th.
Spring Break
Cabot Public Schools will be closed the week of March 18th - 22nd for Spring Break. If you are traveling over Spring Break, we wish you safe travels. School will resume on Monday, March 25th.
Parent Center
Magness Creek has a Parent Center at the front of the building in a Conference Room. The Parent Center contains various materials that you as a parent can check out to use at home with your child. Some examples of items in the Parent Center are books on various levels and math manipulatives/games. The math activities include flash cards, play money, dominoes, dice, spinners, and other manipulativies. Students have used these items in class for various activities. Many can be used for addition, subtraction, and multiplication practice. In addition to activities for you to do with your child, there are several parenting videos.
If you visit our Parent Center and want to check something out, there is a clipboard with a sign-out sheet on the bookshelf with the items. Please sign out the items and then return them after a week so it will be available for another parent to check out. There is a tub just inside the door to put the items in which to place the returned items.
Body Mass Index (BMI) Screenings
State Law requires us to conduct Body Mass Index (BMI) Screenings each year for kindergarten, second, and fourth grade students. Nurse Danna, along with some of the other nurses in the district, will be conducting our screenings. The BMI screenings will be on Wednesday, March 27th. Nurse Danna will send out more information as the time gets closer. If you have any questions, please contact Nurse Danna.
