Dear Wines Families,
Well, I guess the good news about school being closed today
is at least it wasn’t because of snow or cold!! I’m at Wines now and the crew
is working on the water main break. We anticipate the problem being fixed today
and school will resume tomorrow. Please look for a message from Liz Margolis or
me later today or tonight. Today’s email starts with a couple of school closing
updates and then the remainder of the messages for the week. There is a lot of
important information below including our annual Parent Input form for class
placement so please read on.
School Closing
Updates:
• 5th Grade concert tonight: Tonight’s concert has been cancelled. We have rescheduled the all
school assembly to next Tuesday, April 29th at 1:45 PM and the
evening performance for Wednesday, April
30th at 7:00 PM.
• Lunch: Tomorrow, Thursday, we will serve pizza originally
scheduled for today (don’t worry, it hasn’t been cooked yet!). The popcorn
chicken will not be served this week.
• NWEA: Mrs. Middleton, Mrs. Gibbs, and Mrs. Day’s classes
were scheduled to take the Reading portion of NWEA today. These classes will
take the assessment tomorrow.
O.K. on to other school business…
Parent Input:
Below is a link to a survey soliciting your input as we make
class placement decisions for next year. This is your opportunity to tell us
about your child from a parent perspective. We will include your information in
our discussions about placement. As always, we do not accept requests for
specific teachers or to not be placed in a specific teacher’s classroom. As
of today, we have not made final grade configurations or staffing assignments.
I hopeful I can share all this information before we leave for summer break.
Below is the link to the survey. Please try to have your input submitted by
Friday, May 9th.
Art Night:
Art Night is this Friday from 6:30-8:30. Thank you to our
many volunteers. We have about 60% of the volunteers we need. We are looking
for craft supervisors, face painters, and set-up, clean up help. If you can
volunteer, please go to the following link
We are also looking for more goodies for Art Night. If you
can help, please go to the following link:
Science Olympiad Fun
Night:
Next Thursday, May 1 is the Wines Science Olympiad
Fun Night from 6-8pm here Wines. Our 2nd-5th grade
teams have all been working hard over the winter and are looking forward to
showcasing what they have learned as our competition day approaches. The
evening will include a prize drawing, cool cars, displays of agility, flying
objects, amazing feats of estimation, map readers, skilled builders, experts in
potions, tests of memory and writing, and some good old physics in action. In
addition to the ‘fun’ part, Fun Night is an opportunity for friends and
families to observe the teams engaged in their events (at the actual
competition on May 10, most events will not be
open to observers). First grade families and others who may be interested in
participating in Science Olympiad next year are most welcome and are encouraged
to come learn about our teams and the event. We would love to see you
there!!
