News for next year....
1) Lunch with the Principal will only be for grades K-2 next year. We had tried several approaches to improving and revising LWP for 3-5 and the feedback we got from teachers was that it had outlived its usefulness and appeal for the older students.
2) Students won't be able to be checked out of school after 2:30 next year. If you need to get them for a doctor's appointment or other reason, it will need to be prior to 2:30. There is so much going on in the front office that the staff aren't able to safely keep up with students accurately when we're calling them from class at the last minute.
3) Our early morning supervision of students (from 6:30-7:15) will be changing next year. It will no longer be staffed by Kidzu each day, but will be available on an as-needed basis. Details are still being ironed out, but it will be really important for you to know if you've used Kidzu for morning care in the past it will be different starting in August.
4) Kinder, first and second grades will all begin the year with students NOT assigned to classes. Teachers will spend the first week or two observing students before we make final determinations about classroom placement. This is designed to find the very best fit for your child and to help us avoid conflicts that can occur between students. As kinder and first grade parents know, we started this year with kinder and first grade students not on a class list, and after several days of intense observations were able to make good decisions about where students would best fit. As a result, we've had very little behavioral concerns in kinder and first grade this year.
