3rd Grade Community Building!!
Growth Mindsets - The 7 Mindsets - It's just a good way to live your life!
We continue to challenge our students to have growth mindsets and giving their best! We will again be using the 7 Mindsets curriculum to help us foster this thinking in each of our students.
ONE KIND WORD CAN CHANGE SOMEONE'S ENTIRE DAY.
One word has the potential to change everything words have power. Let's use our words as a source of inspiration to those around us. Challenge your child this week to find someone who needs a kind word and give them one. So simple, but so important. Search out those in need of a little encouragement and be a friend to them. Just a few words, or even one kind word, can change a person's whole day. Let them know you care: It will make your day a better one, too.
Cherrydale Fundraiser!!
We will be kicking off our Elementary fundraiser on Tuesday, September 11th. Students will be bringing packets home with all of the information. This fundraiser is important in funding and providing students opportunities for field trips, lyceums and Rebel Pride/Bingo celebrations and many other things. Please help us by participating in whatever way you can. Every order helps. Thank you!!

Wednesday, October 3rd - Two-Hour Late Start
Once again, USC teaching staff will be working in Professional Learning Communities. This time is used to analyze data, research best practices, and engage in group planning to improve student achievement. The first PLC is scheduled for Wednesday, October 3. School will begin two hours late. It will start at 10:20 A.M. and breakfast for students will not be served at school.
We realize this can be difficult for some parents to find supervision for their children on these late start days. In order to help with this, elementary students in grades K-6 will be allowed to come to school from 8:20 – 10:20 A.M. and be supervised by staff. During this time they will be viewing a Rated G or PG movie in the elementary music room. Students should report directly to the music room. Students must be here by 8:20 A.M. in order to be supervised, and they will not be allowed to leave the building once they get here. Students coming to school to be supervised from 8:20 – 10:20 A.M. will need to be transported because buses will only be running on the two hour late schedule.
