Weekly Blog 3/20

Dear Wines Families,

Well, this is a busy time of year, so again this week the weekly communication is a bit lengthy. There are a couple of repeat messages here, but they are important.

Surveys

Last week I sent links to two surveys and I’ve included them below again. The first is a parent input survey for class placement for next year. While we don’t consider requests for specific teachers, if you have input about your child that you believe will help us as we make decisions, please fill out the survey. In addition, if your family is not returning to Wines next year, this survey gives you the opportunity to let us know.

Parent Input Survey

The second survey is a district created survey about your experiences at Wines this year. This survey will help us as we plan for the future and work to meet the needs of our community.

Family School Improvement Survey

Please complete the surveys by next Thursday, March 28th.

Yearbook Photos

If you have photos that you would like to contribute to the yearbook, please email the photos to Debbie Tirico at debbietirico@me.com.  Please indicate what grade level for each child photographed.  Child names do not need to be included.  Please submit by March 31.

Raffle Help

The Country Fair and Raffle is right around the corner! We need your help!  Planning for the Wines Raffle has already started.  If you are interested in lending a hand please contact Kerianne Tupac  - kmtupac@umich.edu, or Margaret Compton - bagladycompton@yahoo.com.  You can help leading up to the raffle and/or the evening of the raffle. Both Kerianne and Margaret can also answer any questions you have about the raffle.

Art Room Newsletter

Attached to today's email was Janice Hendrick’s newsletter from the Art Room. There is a lot going on in Art (including our Art Night coming up April 26th), so please take a look!

Spring Break Coming

Just a reminder that there is no school next Friday, March 29th and no school the following week (April 1st-5th). Despite the winter weather, believe it or not, it is spring!

Thanks,

David
