I hope you had a wonderful weekend celebrating Mother's Day. Wow! It is hard to believe we only have 6 days left of this school year! I have loved having your kiddos this year and will miss them!

Thank you so much for the wonderful treats and gifts during Teacher Appreciation Week, last week. I was blown away with your kindness.

We have a busy week coming up with lots of learning, leading and fun!

Below is a lot of information. Please read through it carefully and let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Please know I am working very hard to support your child this school year. I believe we can work together to continue to make this a great year for your first grader. If you have any questions or concerns throughout the year please don't hesitate to contact me.

Have a great week!

-Mr. Gasper

Field day will be on Thursday May 16th. We will have two sessions again this year. The morning session will be for K-2nd grade from 8:45-10:45am. The afternoon session will be for 3rd-5th grade from 1:00-3:00pm. We are in need of parent volunteers. All volunteers must have a background check already on file. They can help with their students time slot or the entire day if they’d like. Please let me know if you are interested in helping.

There will be a shirt signing station. If your child would like to have their shirt signed please let me know by Thursday morning. Without your permission, your child will not be able to have their shirt signed.

As charging is not allowed the last month of school, please ensure your child has enough money in their meal account to cover breakfast, lunch, and/or extra milk. Beginning Wednesday, May 1st, a complimentary PB&J and milk is available for students not on free meals who have a negative meal balance. Meal balances can be checked via the parent portal or contacting the Schofield office at 732-3610.

During our next visit from Ms. Pietruszynski, students will learn about a variety of topics! Kindergarten students will explore feeling words and ways to express those feelings in a healthy way. 1st grade lessons will discuss perseverance and how to keep trying, even when things get hard. 2nd grade lessons will focus on conflict resolution and how to respectfully work through problems with one another through the use of “I” messages. As always, feel free to contact Ms. Pietruszynski with any questions/concerns you might have regarding your student. diana.pietruszynski@republicschools.org or 732-3610.
