Dear Parents = and Families,

To begin, tha= nk you for helping make the first week a great success this year. Your children, I am sure, have b= een coming to you at the end of each day with stories of learning, playing,= music, new friendships. We a= re glad we are all together as partners in this community of learning.=

Now that we a= re settled in, we would like to share a few expectations with you all.=

Morning Drop Off<= /o:p>

If you are dr= opping your child off at school, please say good-bye to them each morning in the lob= by. This will allow the children to head up= independently and will eliminate a great deal of distraction as they get r= eady for the day. =

Afternoon Pick Up=

If you are pi= cking your child up from school in the afternoon, please wait for them in t= he lobby outside the main office. Your children will join you there after they have been escorted downst= airs by their teachers.

Mid-Day Pick Up

If you are picking your child up mid-da= y (for a doctor or dentist appointment, for example), please check in at th= e Main Office. We will then c= all up and ask the teacher to send your child down to meet you.<= /span>

Visitors

All visitors,= including parents, must sign in AND out at the office. We will provide you with a guest pass. This provides a great deal of security= in the community and we appreciate your cooperation.

Please contac= t me if you have any questions or concerns, please contact Annie Sevelius, = Assistant Principal, at 617.2= 54.8904 x 101.

Dear Parents and Families,

It has been a wonderful week – th= e new students are feeling more “at home” although we still hav= e some young ones that miss their parents.= We are hoping that our enrollment is stabilized by next week as we have had many “adds and drops” i= n the first 8 days of school. = The kindergarten teachers are working diligently in teaching the cla= ss routines to the students in a warm and caring way. The fist graders are learning how to provide feedb= ack to each other on their work. The second graders learned a new song “Shoo Turkey” and hav= e been doing an outstanding job acting it out while the third graders have = started with their writing journals. = In the fifth grade I have observed students displaying very good re= ading skills making interesti= ng observations on the text and the fourth graders did outstanding work wit= h the magic squares activity in Math. = ; It was impressive to see 2^{nd grade studen=
ts in the music class know the difference between beat and rhythm and alrea=
dy differentiating between high and low notes. Pretty soon they will be able to read music! And, to hear third graders play the vio=
lin was an amazing experience.}

We have started our Friday Assembly pro= gram – feel free to visit us during these times and see our children = in action.

Have a good weekend.<= /p>
