May Character Traits: Courage and Personal Best
The students are learning about courage and doing their personal best this month.  Each morning we start the day with Morning Meeting, a brief reminder of what it means to have courage, what it means to do your personal best and how they might accomplish these things to be good students and citizens.

School Illness
Given the level of illness at school now, including the stomach flu and other viruses, if your student is not feeling well, please keep them at home.  School policy requires that a student be fever-free for 24 hours before returning to school.  Students with a fever of 99.4 or greater may be sent home at the direction of the school nurse, Mrs. Coble.  Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Student Absences
When your student is absent from school, please send a note detailing the reason for their absence so that I may correctly mark attendance each day.

5th Grade Washington, DC Trip Registration Continues
The trip dates for the 5th grade Washington, DC, trip are April 24-26, 2024.  Flyers with more information have been sent home with students for those parents who were unable to attend the informational meeting. You may register now. Payment plans are available to make this very memorable trip more affordable.

"Sign and Return" on Student Assessments
To ensure that parents are seeing their student's grades on assessments, in 4th and 5th grade we ask parents to please sign and return all assessments (they will be stamped for your signature) in the student's green Friday folder when they return to school on Monday morning.  These will be returned to the student at the end of the 9 weeks.  Thank you for your help with this!
