Happy Holidays!
As we wrap up our final school week of 2019, we would like to wish you a wonderful holiday break and enjoy spending extra time with your families.
Reaching Out to Help Our Community
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our Toy Drive. We had a wonderful turnout. The K-Kids are still collecting, if you would like contribute.
Stocking Stuffers – K-Kids Holiday Service Project
The Oasis K-Kids club would like to give filled stockings to members at Special Populations. Donations will be accepted in your child’s classroom from December 1–18. Please see the flyer below, for a list of needed items.
Thank you PTO for organizing such a fun Breakfast with Santa!

Please review the AR Fun Day letter, from October, to remind your child of the criteria to earn this super fun day.

Our E book collection contains most of the 2019-2020 SSYRA books along with a few audio books.
You will have 14 days to read, but if you finish early simply go into the account and click RETURN. This will free the copy for someone else and allow your child to check out another ebook.

A letter containing this information was sent home in September.
Please utilize this wonderful resource and CHECK OUT and RETURN often.
Rainbow Reading
The K-2 Rainbow Reading Program is in full swing now. All students received the red reading log at the beginning of the school year. As you and your child read the books listed on the sheet and it is returned during their library visit, they will spin for a prize and receive the next colored log.
The goal is for students to read through the colors of a rainbow and reach "PURPLE". Then they will join us during our Purple People Party in May. During this party, students will wear purple, and eat purple foods, play games, and enjoy time with other readers.
If you need another red sheet, please send an email and include the student and his or her teacher's name to the request. Rhonda.Gamboa@CapeCharterSchools.org This is a fun time for your child to explore books in varying genres from your home and public library. Also, they can search for books in the school library during their Specials visit.
Thank you for supporting your child's education.
Mind Up Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Curriculum
This week in MindUP, students will continue to learn about Lesson 9: Mindful Movement.

Lunch Visitors in the Cafeteria
This Wednesday, Kindergarten is switching their lunch time. If you are planning on eating lunch with your Kindergarten student on that day, check with your child's teacher to make sure you know the changed time.
Also, because Friday is an Early Dismissal day, we will not be able to accommodate visitors for lunch.
Our new schedule for lunch days by grade level will begin January 13th. Until then, we will continue to use the schedule below.

Fortify App
The app, which is available for download on Apple and Android mobile devices, is critical to ensuring all Florida schools are safe environments where students and educators can experience and share the joy of learning without fear. FortifyFL is a suspicious activity reporting tool that allows you to instantly relay information to appropriate law enforcement agencies and school officials.
The Florida Legislature directed this tool’s development in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act. For more information visit: https://getfortifyfl.com/
