Goodall Update 9-24-15

September 24, 2015 

Our first field trip was a huge success!  The kids had great time and many of them learned to skate.  Thank you to all the parents who volunteered to help.  We couldn’t do it without you!

MAP testing- All Goodalls have completed the Math and Reading MAP test.  We are currently looking over the data and will share the reports with you during student-led conferences.

Tardies- Just a reminder that school starts at 7:45 am and your child is considered tardy at 7:55.  Some of the students have been coming late to class because they are playing on the playground before school.   Please make sure your child is off the playground and in the classroom by 7:45.

Reminder!  The Roots (1st grade) have a field study to Gilcrease Museum next Tuesday, September 29th.  They will leave Mayo at 9:00 am and return at approximately 11:30 am.  Due to our late lunch time, it would be helpful If you could send a sack lunch. This would make it easier because Roots will need to be finished eating by 12:00.  Please have your child wear a red uniform shirt and uniform bottoms.    

Fair Field Study-Our Tulsa State Fair field study is coming up in two weeks.  Be watching for an email with all the details.  Your child will need a sack lunch for that day.  Attached is a Lunch form from the cafeteria.  Please return this by October 1st.
