APRIL NEWSLETTER

I wonder what April showers will bring?  We have certainly had enough rain!

There are only 9 weeks left of school!  The year is flying by.

Kindergarten Registration

We had a kindergarten registration on March 31^st.  If you know of anyone that could not make it that evening or if you know of any first graders that are not currently enrolled in our Kindergarten please ask them to call the office at 878-3880.

Free Lions Club Screening for Pre-K and Kindergarten

Permission forms will be sent home soon for free Lions Club vision screening.

School Visit

Our teachers and students were fortunate to have Dr. Mahesh Sharma visit our schools for five days.  Dr. Sharma is a math expert that spent time with some of our students and all of our teachers.  He trained the teachers and demonstrated lessons in math at every grade level.  He was very interesting and we all learned something we can use in our classrooms.

A Few Reminders…...

School starts at 9:00.  All students need to be in their classrooms by 9:00.  If you are dropping off a student that is late you cannot enter the school driveway and drive up to the school.   The sign at the beginning of the driveway states that no non-personnel may drive into the driveway after 8:30 AM.  You may park down at the end of the ball field and walk your child to the front door.  Thank you for helping ensure the safety of all students.

The back door is to be used only for Kindergarten and Pre-school drop-off.  All other students must use the front entrance.

Dear Parents/Guardians:

Special Honor:

I would like to congratulate Olivia Hasselmann for the special honor she received at Promising Practices.  Olivia and several other students were recognized for their efforts and positive contributions to the school community.

Schedule change:

Mrs. Kalloger and I have switched our schedules:

Mrs. Kalloger will be in Greenville on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Mrs. Saari will be in Greenville on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Leadership Conference Attendees:

Congratulations go out to the following fourth grade students:  Thalia Sousa, Ian Hamblen and Amanda Normandin.  These students were chosen to attend a two day Leadership Conference.  Their task was to work on a project they could come back and implement in our school.  The students have called their project, “Kids Help Kids-Haiti Project.”  They have brainstormed three ways to help earn money for the children of Haiti.  They have come up with great ideas and I’m sure we will do all we can to support them.

Kindergarten and Preschool Parents:

I am working on getting someone to watch and direct traffic during drop-off and pick-up times when parents are walking children up the hill for the rest of the winter months.  Please contact me if you know of anyone interested in helping out.

Reminders From Concerned Parents:

Ø  It is now illegal to drive and text;
