News to Share
2. Dublin Sparks- Jump Rope Performance and Jump Rope for Heart Assembly is rescheduled for Tuesday 2/6. The first performance will be at 9:15am for S Wing and E Wing , and R Wing and I Wing to report at 9:55am (we will make an announcement for the second group to report, as soon as the gym is cleared from the first group).* Please note 6th grade classes from I-Wing will report to the first assembly with E-Wing in order to allow for consistent class schedule.
3. We are so fortunate to receive funds through the generosity of the McCoy Foundation to bring Columbus Opera to perform for NAIS. This a special opportunity for our students to experience this highly developed art form and we are very appreciative.
When: Tuesday, February 13
9:20 - S and I Wings
10:30 - E and R Wings.
Where: McCoy Arts Center
The performances are 40 minutes. Specials schedules will not be interrupted. Specialists will meet your classes at the McCoy, that morning.
4. Valentines Exchange/Activities. As a reminder, we are not having Valentines Day parties with visitors and food. However, each grade level has decided to do a slightly different activity which may allow for the exchange of valentines cards and or kindness notes/activities. This will be discussed/finalized at tomorrow's team leader meeting, if you haven't already finalized plans within your grade level team.
5. TEST RESULTS GO HOME FRIDAY
As a followup to Scott’s email you received last Wednesday, we are sending home MAP results for all students and InView results for grades 4 and 6 this Friday in the students’ backpacks. If any students qualified as gifted, Joe will give you additional information to send home with the test results. You will need to print your students’ MAP results (directions here). Scott will provide a cover letter for you to attach to the MAP results as well as your InView results early this week.
