A Note from the Principal
What another wonderful week we have had! Our LEAP clubs began on Monday, and we are appreciative of all those who are giving their time on Friday afternoons to make this so successful.
Students have been placed in PIE (Personalized Instruction and Enrichment), in grades 1-8, and MUS (Math-U-See), in grades 1-5, small groups; however, we do know that some of the groups might change a little bit over the next few weeks as we get to know your children better. Oral reading homework should start coming home next week from the PIE teacher, as well as reinforcement work from the MUS teacher if it has not already started being assigned. A Weekly Overview in PIE will be sent home every Friday starting next week although some went home this week, and these are to be signed by the parent/guardian and sent back on Mondays. These overviews let you know the skills your child worked on during the week.
Finally, for the safety of all our students, please do not allow your child, or carpool students, to get out of the car in the morning until their door has passed the first yellow, concrete post in the car line. We know that the new families might not know this, and it is a good reminder to the returning families.
A Note from the Front Office
All school excuses should be emailed to Michelle Tennant, our attendance clerk, at [email protected] within 3 days of the student's return to school.
We are beginning to issue Chromebooks to all students who have:
- paid their tech fee
- returned their signed technology agreements
Please make sure you pay school fees as soon as possible and return the signed documents for the technology agreement.
A Note from the School Resource Officer
You’re shopping at the mall with your children when one of them suddenly disappears. A quick search of the nearby area is unsuccessful. What do you do?
Now there’s a free new tool from the FBI that can help. Our Child ID app—the first mobile application created by the FBI—provides a convenient place to electronically store photos and other vital information about your children so that it’s literally right at hand if you need it. You can show the pictures and provide physical identifiers such as height and weight to security or police officers on the spot. Using a special tab on the app, you can also quickly and easily e-mail the information to authorities with a few clicks.
The app includes tips on keeping children safe as well as specific guidance on what to do in those first few crucial hours after a child goes missing. It features a password protection option to help keep your information safe and allows you to add pictures from your mobile phone’s image library. You can also zoom in and crop images prior to saving.
The app is available for download on iPhones through iTunes and on Android phones through Google Play.
An important note: The FBI is not collecting or storing any photos or information that you enter in the app. All data resides solely on your mobile device unless you need to send it to authorities. Please read your mobile provider’s terms of service for information about the security of applications stored on your device.
Put your child’s safety in your own hands. Download the FBI’s Child ID app today.
