IST Meetings Tomorrow
We will be meeting to look at Bear Necessities data tomorrow during our Talk about It Tuesday Meeting. I have compiled FAST data for our IST students, but everyone still needs to bring their formative assessments from BN so we can look at that data and determine if what we are doing during Bear Necessities is effective.
If you have questions, please Andrea me know!

Indoor Recess Technology Reminder
Indoor Recess Reminder:
As you know, technology is to be used at school for educational purposes only at school. To prevent students from using inappropriate apps or games, we are going to continue our rule with no technology during indoor recess.
There is one exception: if the teacher is leading a whole group game, and strictly monitoring the activity, this is acceptable since the teacher is involved.
Please let Carol Ann know if you have any questions!

Square One Art
Dear Family,
We have partnered with your child’s school to create a unique opportunity to celebrate their artistic accomplishments while raising much needed funds for the school.
Coming home soon will be your child’s custom catalog featuring their artwork. Won’t you help make your child feel like an accomplished artist by purchasing keepsakes for the whole family containing their masterpiece? The school earns profit from every order. And as a thank you for participating, we provide each child with a sheet of stickers imprinted with their artwork — absolutely FREE!
Watch for more details about the campaign and order deadlines. All online and paper order forms must be turned in by the due date on your child’s custom catalog. (No late orders can be accepted.) Together, we can help support the school, build your child’s self-esteem, and create lasting keepsakes from your child’s artistic achievements.
THREE EASY WAYS TO ORDER KEEPSAKES
- The paper order form attached to their custom catalog.
- Online at www.square1art.com/shop.

THANK YOU
