Lindsey Weekly Update
January 22, 2021
Message from Mrs. Bellan
We had a productive week at Lindsey Elementary completing MAP testing. Students worked very hard and we are proud of their efforts.
Shortly we will be sending home parent reports that show results of your child's performance. To learn more about MAP and what it measures, feel free to go to the following blog: https://www.nwea.org/blog/2021/map-growth-101-everything-families-need-to-know/?scrlybrkr=a7cff490
As Valentine's quickly approaches please read the important details below that outline the ways we will celebrate in COVID safe ways.
Best,
Meagan
Details for the Lindsey Valentine's Celebration
We wanted to reach out to you regarding the upcoming Valentine's Day Classroom Parties, which will take place on Thursday, February 11th at 2:30 p.m. We are excited for our students to enjoy the opportunity to share positive notes with one another and engage in an activity/craft organized by classroom room parents.
You and your child may be in the process of selecting the Valentine they will want to distribute during the classroom party. We want to assure you and your child that we are taking the following steps to maintain the health and safety of everyone.
If the Valentine is placed into an envelope, please do not seal the envelope unless doing so by a sticker only.
Valentines should be brought to school on Friday, February 5th.
Valentines will be sorted so that they can sit untouched for almost a week.
Valentines will be put into a white lunch bag (provided by PTO) that can be decorated that students will be able to take home following the party. Students will be instructed to not open their cards until they get home that evening with their parent(s)’ approval.
We want to remind you that Valentine’s may not be accompanied by food or candy. Valentines with non-food attachments are permitted. Your child's teacher may provide further directions if necessary. Virtual teachers will communicate a plan with their families regarding drop off and pick up of Valentines. We want to thank you for your cooperation so that we can maintain a safe party experience for our students.
