Week 2 Newsletter

The Solar Eclipse made for a great start to our week! Every student had glasses to be able to view the eclipse, and the whole school came out. I posted a few pictures to our Twitter, which you can see on the right.

 Next week is Kindness Week! We will be talking about all the ways to shown kindness. Back again is the Kids Against Hunger food packing event which will be on Thursday, Aug 31st. This was a huge success last year and we are excited to have it back! Students are asked to donate $5 to help feed hungry children all over the world.

Parent volunteers are still needed, so I hope you can join us. The signup is HERE. We will be packing first thing in the morning so don't be late to school!

I am looking forward to meeting everyone tonight at Back to School Night. Please go to the MPR at 6:00pm for a brief introduction by Mrs. Berglin. The class presentation begins at 6:15pm in our room 12C (upstairs).

Our presentation is also linked up on at the CLASSROOM tab above. Feel free to check it out prior to our time together.

Back to School Action Items 2017

I'm so happy to have your family in my classroom this year! To help speed up the process for Back to School Night, below are a few things you can do now. 

First, please fill out the embedded Google Form with information for your family. This will help you stay updated on everything that is happening in the classroom. You can also fill it out HERE, if the embedded document doesn't work.



You can also subscribe to our website by looking on the right hand side for the "Follow By Email" tab. This will provide you with updates to your email address anytime I post something new. 

Second, there are TWO signups you will want to check out this week...
Parent Volunteers -- 2 room parents are needed to work together to help plan parties, send emails, be a liaison for PTA information, etc. Also please sign up to be a driver for any future field trips we will have. I will only be emailing parents from this list to be drivers for all future field trips.

November Conferences 2017-- please sign up for a report card conference time that will be held the week of November 13th, and a few on November 8th and 9th.

Third, please link up with me through REMIND. Remind will let me send out important alerts and reminders about assignments, tests, field trips, etc straight to your phone or email. You can also contact me through the site. I do recommend if your child has their own device, phone or tablet, you think about having them sign up too. It will give them direct access to information and keep them accountable for their own work.

You can go to this link, https://www.remind.com/join/2c7bfh to sign up, or download the Remind App to your phone.  You can also follow the instructions below.

I'm looking forward to meeting all of you on Thursday at Back to School Night at 6:15pm. There is an informational meeting with Mrs. Berglin from 6:00-6:15 in the MPR prior to our class session. Our classroom is upstairs, room 12C. Please remember this is only for parents, students do not need to attend.
