Last Week of School!
As you already know, we only have 4 more days left of school.
With only 1 day of post-planning, most of you will have your students help with packing and organizing materials. While we understand this has to happen, please make sure that you have your procedures, rules, and expectations still in place to prevent behaviors or accidental incidents!! Our students' safety and emotional well-being is the utmost priority this week!!!

5th Grade Annual Walk
5th grade will be having their completion ceremony Wednesday at 8:00 am. Immediately following the ceremony, our 5th graders will walk around the school in order for all the other grade levels to clap for them and cheer them on as they get ready for middle school!
The "walk" will begin on the 2nd grade hallway, will pass by 3rd and 1st grade, down the steps to PreK and 3rd grade, up through the office and media center, down the K ramp, through the 4th grade hallway, and will end on their hallway.
We will make an announcement to let all grade levels know when to come out of the classrooms and cheer on our 5th graders.

Pizza Certificates
Pizza Crosta donated a number of free kids pizza
certificates to our school. Homeroom teachers are receiving 1-2 of
these certificates to award to students making the most progress in their
reading this year. We also awarded them to the top 5 AR
point-earning students in grades 1 through 5. The restaurant is
anxious to partner with our school and these certificates are a great way to
celebrate our reading progress.

Post-Planning Day
We currently have parents signed up to help move boxes as well as pack items during the one post-planning day. As of right now, there are 4 helpers from 8:00-10:00, 7 helpers from 10:00-12:00, and 4 helpers from 12:00-2:00. These helpers will go to 1st, 3rd, and special education teachers first since they are moving classrooms. If you are moving classrooms, please think of tasks that you will need help with on this day. We want the parents' time used wisely!
If you are not moving classrooms, please check in with your colleagues to see how you can help. We need to make sure we are supporting each other on this day to get our classroom ready for the summer.
