Red Ribbon Week!

This week is devoted to showing our students how much it means to live a healthy, happy life away from drugs! We want all the success possibly for every child that walks through our door, and we want them to know that they can only reach their full potential by staying away from the things that will harm them.

Help us encourage our students to Say NO To Drugs by participating in the events of the week:

Monday- Wear jeans for "I'm a JEAN-ius; I'm Drug Free!"
Tuesday- Wear a hat for "Put a Cap on Drugs!"
Wednesday- Wear red for Red Ribbon Week!
Thursday- Wear crazy socks for "Sock it to Drugs!"
Friday- Wear a team shirt/jersey for "Team up Against Drugs!"

Let's make this a fun and meaningful Red Ribbon Week!

New 6 Weeks!

Can you believe the first 6 weeks is already over?! Times flies when you're having fun!! We have had a great time getting into the groove of our new class, and so many students have been so successful! Here are some reminders to help students achieve great things everyday:

1. The morning block of time before specials is dedicated to contract work. Students should be working hard to complete their individual contracts.
2. It is very important to stay on task and to remember the due dates of our assignments.
3. Please, please, please remind students to turn in their work.
4. It is important to be at school for the entire day, if you do need to pick up your child early, please let me know by writing a quick note in their planner.
5. If your child needs to change how they go home, please note that in their planner.
6. If students are falling behind in getting their work done, they need to come meet with me so we can discuss a way to extend the due date or find another time during the day to be able to complete the work.
7. Stay positive and check in with your children daily! :)

And, as always, please do not hesitate to call or email me! :)
Thanks for all you do!!
