Congrats on making it through the first full week of school last week–it’s always a bit of a slog getting through that first full week, but we’re off to a great start!
It’s a bit of a busy week, as these first few weeks always are, so be sure you have everything on your calendar!
A few notes to get you rolling…
1) A HUGE thanks for adapting so well to the new lunch duty schedule–it’s gone very smoothly so far! Thank you!
2) Bus Evacuation Drill at 9am Monday!
3) DIBELS on Monday for all of K-2, and assorted 3/4/5. The team will not arrive until 12:30 so the assessment time will run through Afternoon Choice and Invitations–not optimal, but we’ll make it work. We’ll start with the K-2 classes and grab the 3/4/5 students towards the end. I’ll monitor how things are progressing and figure out the best way to gather the needed olders.
4) We have Back to School Night this Wednesday starting at 5:30pm. The plan is to start in classrooms and then at around 6:15 we’ll do an “ALL CALL” to get folks down tot he gym to sigh up for volunteer opportunities. At that point you are free to leave and head home!
5) SIW this week is a Teacher Work Day. This will give you a little extra time to get ready for Back to School Night.
6) Dental Screenings on Thursday starting at 8:30am.
7) Camp Amity next Monday and Tuesday! Lunch orders have to be in TODAY!
8) Our annual Fall Book Fair will be October 6-10. More details as we get closer.
9) We checked into securing a venue for an earlier Variety Show date but none of the spaces in the district are available the week before Winter Break. We can talk more about this soon.
10) Our first Bread and Jam for the year will be Friday, October 3. Our first Cafe Amity will be October 8 (Grade 5).
