Weekly Blog 3/30

Dear Wines Families,

I have a number of important announcements this last week before spring break.

M-STEP

The 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th grade students will be taking the state assessment beginning after spring break. Our 5^th graders start right after the break. Your child’s teacher should have already shared the dates of testing for their class. While there is some flexibility to account for student illness, please have (healthy) students in school during assessment days.

5th Grade Chorus performs tonight at Board of Education meeting

The 5th grade chorus will sing tonight for the opening of the Board of Ed meeting. They perform at 7:00 pm at the Forsythe auditorium, but need to arrive at 6:30. If possible, please have students wear Wines chorus t-shirts (black with red logo) and any pants/skirt. Parents should plan to attend the performance. Please, no drop-offs. Our portion lasts 7-8 minutes, so we’ll be done by around 7:15 pm. 

Tell your friends and family that this Board of Education meeting - including the opening Wines Chorus performance - can be watched live on CTN's Educational Channel 18!  Or they can watch it live streamed by going to the BOE page at http://a2schools.org/domain/275.  

Wines Art Night | Thursday, May 5th, 6:30-8

Please mark your calendars for Art Night on May 5th from 6:30-8. While the main attraction is your students’ work, we will keep with the Art Night tradition of asking each family to bring a dozen cookies to share. We’ll also have a special performance from the 5th Grade Choir, and a few other surprises in store for the evening. See you then!

That’s all for this week. No school next week for Spring Break. Safe travels for anyone getting away.
