Rountree Report
March 2018
Welcome Spring!
I don't know about you but I am looking forward to spring and warm weather! We love to take walks in the evenings and eat dinner outside on the porch. What are your favorite warm weather family activities? Our focus words for March are balanced and appreciation. We have opened up our employee recognition forms to students and have been thrilled to read the sweet notes of encouragement they have turned in to nominate employees for our staff member of the month. If you would like to nominate someone please complete the recognition form linked at the bottom of the newsletter.

Reminders
Tardies/Attendance
- School begins promptly at 8:50. Please make sure your child arrives on time to begin the day of learning. Each minute is valuable and when a child misses work in the morning it gets the day off to a rough start. Attendance percentage is figured off of minutes in attendance not just full days. Several district choice programs use attendance as a part of the application process. The best opportunity for academic success exists when a child is at school each day.
Supplies
- If you are able to donate hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes, and/or an extra box of tissues. We would greatly appreciate it. Cold season has caused our supply to run short!
