Dear Parents:
Here are a couple of reminders to share with you this week.
1.
Our Reading
SOL’s will be next Tuesday (5/26) and Wednesday (5/27) morning. All of
our tests are scheduled to begin at 9:15 am. It will be important for
your child to be on time for school on these testing days. Please
remember that the tests are not timed and the children can take as long as they
need to complete them. In the past most of the children have been finished with
a given test within an hour or so. The most important aspect to get
“ready” for these tests is for the children to be well rested. Having a
good night’s sleep and regular bedtimes will help immeasurably. In
addition to the sleep, making sure your child has a good breakfast will help as
well.
2.
The Rising
4th Grade Orientation on June 1st. This meeting will be held
in the library at 7pm, and is an opportunity for you to hear from the 4th
grade teachers about what to expect for next year. I hope you will be
able to make it.
3.
This year
there will be a PE Field Day on Wednesday, June 3rd . The 3rd
grade will be enjoying this activity from 11:00- 12:00. We are in need of
a couple of parent volunteers to help us as we move through all the
stations. If you are interesting in lending a hand, please let me know.
4.
The Food
Bus food recovery project has been a great success. To date we have
delivered more than 400 pounds of recovered food to AFAC. I want to thank
the volunteers who have helped with the delivery of the food to AFAC for
us. You have been an important part of this project. There are a
couple of slots still open between now and the end of the year. If you
would like to lend a hand please sign up using the following link:www.SignUpGenius.com/go/10C0B45ABAF2EA75-afac/
