End of the Year FUN!
It's almost that time, the end is near. Shhhh, don't tell the kids we need them focused! Many of you have reached out asking about field trips and end of the year activities, and while we don't have all of the details ironed out yet (we are still focused on instruction and STAAR), we wanted to give you tentative dates and information.
PLEASE NOTE- Some of the details/dates are subject to change. We will update as soon as possible. Spring has sprung, as the end of the year approaches we are all experiencing a bit of spring fever. Please remind your student that our high standards for behavior and academics are still in place. If students are unable to meet these standards they may be unable to participate in our end of year fun activities. Please help us help your child make the most of these last four weeks of school.
Monday 5/23 - Staycation (in-school field trip): While we would have loved to go on a field trip this year the options were very limited, as many places have not opened to field trip groups, or they were simply too expensive. We will have more details to come, just know we are working hard to make this a fun day for our kids.
Tuesday 5/24 - Field Day: Watch for the ROE newsletter for more details and volunteer opportunities.
Wednesday 5/25 - Aloha Day (name may change): More details to come.
Thursday 5/26 - LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!! - Class breakfast parties start at 9:15 am. Students may be signed out by a parent after the party. If you would like to help your homeroom out by making a donation to the party, please click on the button below.
