A message from Mrs. Pleak
Dear Families,
Thank you for sending in your RSVP's for our "How to help your child at Home" Title 1 Parent Nights on September 18th and 19th. Please let us know if you need another form!
Things you can do at home:
- Read to your child every day.
- Let your child see you read every day. Children need to see adults obtaining and using information from many different sources: recipes, newspapers, manuals, websites, books, and many others.
- Have your child “read” to you. Young children may begin “reading” by pointing to the pictures and talking about them or telling what the story is about.
- Help your child to become aware of sounds in letters. Play games: “What sound starts with ‘m’?”
- Help your child to blend sounds to make words. “What word am I making? /c/-/a/-/t/?” Find books with simple stories and help your child start to think about what he or she sees and hears. Talk with your child about what happens first, next, and last in the story.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Pleak

Traffic Alert
This week, INDOT is planning to begin construction on I-465 between I-70 and I-65 on the southwest side of Indianapolis. I-465 eastbound is scheduled to close at 9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 14 and reopen by Monday, Sept. 24. Then, I-465 westbound is expected to be closed at 9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 28 and will reopen by Monday, Oct. 8. While the project won’t directly impact our bus routes, we may experience delays as thousands of cars are rerouted onto the roads that many of our buses travel.
Parents/guardians of students in grades K-2:
A parent or guardian MUST be home to receive children in grades K-2 from the school bus at the end of the school day.
If no one is home upon the young student’s arrival, the child will be returned to the school where the parent will be required to pick up the student. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
