Happy Hugging Day!
Happy Granola Bar Day!
Happy Squirrel Appreciation Day!

I guess we should show our appreciation by hugging squirrels who are eating granola bars? In any case, just a few notes...

First, please note that tutorial has been cancelled beginning this Thursday, 1/23, due to parent conferences. However, there are specific tutorial sessions being conducted with selected 8th grade students in reading with Ms. Susan on Thursdays from 3:15 - 4:15. Math tutorial will be with Ms. Christy. A calendar for those sessions was sent home with the permission slips that were sent home Friday. 

If you haven't yet signed up for a parent conference, please do so at your earliest convenience. 

Some of our PE students have been invited to go to Jekyll Island on Friday, along with Ms. Christy, Mr. Sean, and Coach Lesley. They will be demonstrating a game at the PE conference. Can't wait to hear all about their experience as presenters!

The rest of us will be going on a field trip Friday to the Mountain Film Festival. Please make sure you have signed and returned the field trip form so that we can all enjoy this wonderful experience that is both education and entertaining.

We are in our last two weeks of Cycle 3 which means students will be taking exams next week in Language Arts, Natural World, and Math.

Please make sure you are checking your child's work chart and signing the back. This is one way of communicating the work expectations and for all of us to work together to prepare all students to become more independent and accountable for doing their best work.

Thank you for your time,
Ms. Susan
