Dear Wines Families,
What a great first couple of days! It was so wonderful to
see everyone on Tuesday and while the first day of school is never a “normal”
day, by the end of the day and certainly into today, there are moments when it
seems like we never left.
For new families, this post serves as the first of my
weekly blog messages. Since this is the first post of the year,
it will be a bit longer than usual! On Wednesdays, your child will also come
home with a take home folder with items from class and those items that must go
home on paper (though we try to be nearly paperless from the office). In the
folder that comes home today, you will see lots of important back to school
information. Much of it needs to be returned to school. Please take some time
to review today’s folder. One item that is in today’s take home folder is a
yellow packet with information about the rollout of Google accounts for all
students. This is an exciting district initiative. Please read through the
information and return the items that need to be returned. I will be discussing
this at some length at Curriculum Night next Tuesday evening. I will also be
discussing the Wines rollout of Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) and discussing
our newly acquired iPads at Wines. This is an exciting time to be a Wines
student and I know there will be many questions. I will try to address all your
questions, but please know that there will certainly be a bit of unknown this
year.
Welcome Back Picnic
Please join us for our annual PTO Welcome Back Picnic
tomorrow evening beginning at 6:30 on the back playground. Please bring a
picnic dinner and beverages for your family, a blanket, and if possible, fruit
to share (K-2) or dessert (3-5).
Curriculum Night
Our annual Curriculum Night is next Tuesday, September 9th.
Teachers will be presenting in their classrooms from 6:30-7:00. I will welcome
our entire community in the Multi-Purpose Room from 7:00-7:30. Teachers will be
back in their rooms for a second presentation for those of you with more than
one child from 7:30-8:00. We hope to see you there! Please note that Curriculum
Night is for parents only. We simply cannot provide childcare at this event.
Run-a-Thon
Our annual Run-a-Thon takes place on Friday, October 10th.
You will be receiving lots of information in the coming days and weeks. This is
not only an important fundraiser at Wines, it is also one of the most fun days
we have at school for both kids and adults! Do you own or work for a local
business that would like to help sponsor Run-a-Thon? Are you interested in
being part of the planning committee or volunteer the day of the event? Please
contact Molly Bazzani at mollybazzani@hotmail.com.

ThinkStretch
Our kids have been working hard all summer on their
ThinkStretch summer learning packets. These will be due next Friday, September
