The Mitten
Gym Shoes
A friendly reminder from Mrs. Carter and Mr. Prose:
Students at Crestview have Phy-Ed almost every day! Please be sure that your child comes prepared with tennis shoes in order to participate in class.
Winter Weather
Many students have been coming to school without gloves/mittens or hats. Please make sure your child has warm clothes for when they play outside for Recess.
We've been working on being more responsible with keeping track of our winter clothes. We put our gloves/mittens and hat in our jacket sleeves when eating lunch. I know most cases the glove or mitten was misplaced while here at school. Please help remind your children to check if they have all their warm clothes.
*If you need assistance with getting winter clothing please see the attachment below.
Star of the Week
When your child is Star of the Week, I will send home a poster the week before for them to complete. They can draw pictures or use real pictures. Please have them return the poster the following Monday for sharing. For that week they will be line leader and calendar helper. On Friday of that week they can bring in *one show and tell item to share with the class.
Birthdays
At Crestview Elementary School we take time during morning announcements to highlight students who are celebrating their birthdays. This includes announcing their names and grade levels over the school wide intercom system. If for any reason you do not want your child’s name and birthday announced, please reach out to Janet Ellis, Office Coordinator, in our front office and she will make note of the request.
A reminder that due to life threatening allergies students should not be bringing birthday treats to school this year.
Parents as Partners
I want to change the focus from parent involvement to parent engagement. My goal is for us to work together, as partners, to do what is best for your child. I am opening up the opportunity for you to come, view, observe, or take part in mini-lessons at our school. If you are interested please email me and we can set up a time!
Thanks for all you do!
