Weekly Blog 1/13

Dear Wines Families,

Below is a link to this month’s Wines Times Newsletter, so I’ll keep my additional announcements brief.

Wines Times Newsletter

Friday Floor Hockey is Back!!!
Our weekly Friday floor hockey games will begin this Friday. We will start this year at 8:15 AM. Adults, you are welcome to join the game (we have adult size sticks for you). Students who would like to play simply need to have dry tennis shoes (so wear your boots into school so you can have dry shoes). I am able most Friday’s to get the game started, but I generally need to attend to other school opening business after a little while. Therefore, we need parent volunteers to help keep the game moving and wrap things up at the end. If you are able to come on any Friday, please do! We need regular help.

M-STEP Results
4th and 5th grade families, your child will be coming home with his/her M-STEP state assessment results in today’s Wednesday Folder. As you know, the M-STEP replaced the MEAP last year so these results cannot be easily compared to any previous state assessment results. Look for more communication from our school district and from me in the coming days and weeks regarding the results.

Kindergarten Round Up
Our Kindergarten Round Up is on Wednesday, February 24th at 6:00 PM. If you have a child who will be 5 by Sept. 1, 2016 or if you have friends or neighbors who do, please contact school with your child’s name so we can begin putting our list together. We are expecting to have spaces available for in-district transfer families as well (if your family is currently an in-district transfer, your incoming kindergarten child is grandfathered in and you do not need to apply). So if you have friends who live outside of the Wines attendance area boundaries who would like to have their child attend kindergarten at Wines, please share this information with them! The in-district transfer window opens for applications on January 18th at www.a2schools.org.
