Marthasville Family Newsletter
September 2020
Hello Magnificent Marthasville Families!
Our first week back was wonderful! It is absolutely amazing to see our awesome kids back in person!! They are all taking the changes in stride and learning our new routines and procedures. I know there were some glitches with technology, but these will get continue to be worked on. Things here have gone so smoothly and I am proud of your children. They have received so many compliments already for how kind and respectful they are. Give your kiddo a high five and tell them WE ARE PROUD OF THEM!!
Back to School Packet
The office is sending home a stapled packet of documents next week that will need to be filled out and returned by 9/18. The packet includes a walking field trip permission slip, an emergency contact card, handbook verification sheet, and the student Title 1 compact slip. It is important we get these back in a timely manner. If your child is missing the 1:1 Device Agreement sheet, we are sending these home separately with your child. If you need a hard copy of the Free/Reduced Lunch Program application, please contact Cheryl in the office and we will get one sent home to you.
Zoom Permission- I only have 29 students left that need permission to take part in live Zooms with a teacher. Please update your student's information in Parent Portal. In order to ZOOM with their teachers, the permission slip must be completed. We are sending home a paper copy of this permission slip. Please return this as soon as possible. If you are opting out, please write DECLINE on the top. THANK YOU!
Remind 101- Communication Tool
This is how each teacher will communicate quickly and easily with you about events specific to their classroom via text message. Please join your child's classroom Remind to receive important information. Codes are below!
Facebook
Follow Marthasville Elementary School on Facebook. I post all family newsletters, links to important information about meetings and events, Facebook lives, and many more things! Anything I would email out, you will also find on on our Facebook page.
Special Area Schedule
This schedule changes every week. I will send an email and post to FB each Sunday night so students know what their Special Area is for the upcoming week. Please check your child's Google Classroom for a specific calendar of what special area they have for A,B,C, and D days. Each class is different.
Fall Picture Day
Picture day for A cohort students is 9/15 and B cohort students is 9/17. Flyers will be sent out soon!
PTG
Come join PTG for a campus beautification day on Saturday, 9/26 at 9:00. We will work on stenciling some things on the playground blacktop, plus spruce up more garden beds with rocks and plants. Our first Dine to Donate will be at the Twin Gables. Information will be share soon! The Laundry Soap fundraiser information and order forms will be sent out next week and due back 10/9. Spirit Wear sales will start soon as well. We are purchasing a heat press to create our own spirit wear, so orders will be processed and delivered MUCH quicker!
Thank you all for being patient and understanding during the start of this year. I know navigating through all the technology and virtual home lessons isn't easy. Please continue to reach out to your child's teachers and to me if your kiddo is struggling. If your family is having a hard time getting lessons done (for a variety of factors that we know exist), please reach out- we are here for you!! We will continue to work through this new "normal" and improve our practices. I appreciate you all- I know this isn't ideal or easy and we are all hoping to get back all together safely, sooner than later. I am here for you and proud to be your child's Principal.
Have an amazing rest of your week!
Happy September, bring on the fall weather!
Kindly,
Mrs. Daffron
