Valentine Party Fun!!

Recess Change

Due to ongoing behavior issues involving numerous 5^th grade students, the administration and 5^th grade teachers have decided to suspend afternoon recess indefinitely.  During this 15 minute time frame, 5^th grade classes will remain in their classroom and continue with regular learning.  As a “blue” consequence on Orange Cards, students will now complete an assignment from Mr. Groggel in the evenings a mark is earned.  This will replace the recess detentions which are not feasible due to this change.  While we realize this is not ideal, we are hopeful that students will make better choices following this recess suspension.  Thanks for your support! 

PE clothes on Tuesday

Tomorrow, Feb. 12, the kids are allowed to wear comfy athletic clothing for PE- Jump Rope for Heart Day.  Parents are also welcome to join the kids during gym class from 9-9:45 in the morning.

*Also, a note for Valentine treat donations will be going home tomorrow.  We are hoping to have cupcakes and juiceboxes for our 25 kids on Thursday.  Please let me know if you are willing to help out!  Thanks. 

I adjusted the week's homework below due to our Snow/Ice Day!
