Dear Parents and Guardians,
Many important announcements this week!!!
1. Field Trip - We will be going to the Field Museum on Wednesday, December 11, 2013. Thank you to all who have volunteered to chaperone. I will be sending home a letter on Monday with all the important information. Please check with your child on Monday.
The students are going to need to bring a bag lunch. No lunch boxes. We will be leaving at 9:15 and returning at 2:00 PM. Please make sure that your child has turned in their permission slip. I will also be handing out permission slips again on Monday for those who have not turned one in yet.
2. Santa's Secret Workshop - We are schedule to go to Santa's Secret Workshop on Monday, December 9. We will be previewing it in the morning and then purchasing in the afternoon. This is a great way for your student to purchase inexpensive items as holiday gifts. Please send your child with money on Monday. There will be other opportunities to purchase items later in the week as well.
3. Picture Retakes - There will be picture retakes on Thursday, December 12, 2013.
4. Progress Reports - They will be going home on Wednesday, December 11, 2013.
5. KIK accounts - A letter went home on Friday about students who might have KIK accounts on their phones and how these students might be using them in ways that are harmful to other students. Please check in with your child and discuss perhaps another way for them to communicate with their friends. User of KIK are supposed to be at least 13 years old. We need to work together to make our students feel safe inside and outside the classroom.
6. Shedd Aquarium - As a result of our participation in the wreath recycled contest, we are invited to visit the Shedd Aquarium for free with family on Saturday, December 21, 2013 from 2-6 PM. I will be sending home a letter with more information but if you are planning on visiting the Shedd at that time, I will need to know by December 18, 2013. This is not a field trip but just a family opportunity outside of school.
As always, you can reach me at [email protected].
Have a great week!
Ann Snyder
