Hearing & Vision Screenings
Hearing & Vision Screenings
We have hearing and vision screenings on Monday. If your child wears glasses, please have them bring those to school on Monday. Thank you!
Charging Chromebooks
Charging Chromebooks
Please help up by reminding students to charge their Chromebooks each night. It is very important that their Chromebooks come to school fully charged each morning. We use these for classwork daily as well as taking tests. When Chromebooks are not charged, it becomes a disruption to student learning for the day. We appreciate your help with this!

Math-or-Treat
Math-or-Treat
On Halloween, students will be going “math-or-treating” where they will solve math problems for “treats!” For this, we need 10 different small Halloween/fall related non-food items for each class. Target and Walmart have a lot of options out right now (spider rings, pencils, erasers, small fidgets, etc.)! If you would like to send something in for us to use for this activity, please click the sign up link for your child's homeroom class. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Mrs. Ulrich. Thanks!

Please remind your students that toys must stay at home. Toys, stuffies, and trading cards are not allowed at school, unless otherwise specified by teachers.
We are excited to extend our learning through this fun pumpkin project. Students and families will decorate a small (pie size) pumpkin, or a fake pumpkin, using paint, fabric, wigs, or any craft supplies available, to look like a character from their favorite book. Please DO NOT carve or poke holes in the pumpkins because this causes them to start the decomposing process, encourages mold growth, and BUGS!! If pumpkins are carved when they arrive at school they will be returned the same day. Pumpkins are due with book report on OCTOBER 15th. They will be on display in the Learning Commons through October, and will be displayed during the Fall Festival this year! I am so excited for all the families to participate! Cannot wait to see all the magnificent creations!
