Edison Update 9-15-2016

Happy Thursday!

Tomorrow is the Edison Dog Wash and we are all excited!  Hopefully we will see some of you (we have heard from several who are able to help) and your furry friends.  Please remember that your Edison may wear shorts and a Mayo spirit shirt with shoes that can get wet.  Please send a pair of dry shoes and socks with your child so they can change their shoes after the wash.  Also, even if you can’t attend, please consider donating an item that we can give to an agency in need.  We could use dog treats, toys, collars, etc.  There is a box in the cafeteria for donations.

Just a reminder that our school day begins at 8:00.  We start learning right away and when your student is late, they miss instruction time.  Thank you for making every effort to have your child here on time.  On that same topic, school ends at 3:05.  Please be mindful and pick your child up in the cafeteria at that time.  Mayo teachers lose precious planning and preparation time when we are waiting on late parents.  Thank you so much helping with this!

The MAP Math test will be taken by Edisons this Monday morning, September 19th.  Please ensure they get to bed at a reasonable time Sunday and that they have a good breakfast Monday morning.  Once we get the results, we will send them home and let you know if we need any paperwork signed for the Reading Sufficiency Act.

We are looking forward to our trip to watch the herding dogs at the Tulsa State Fair on Wednesday, October 5th.  We plan to leave Mayo around 9 and return at 1:00.  Your child will need a sack lunch for this trip.  If you need the cafeteria to prepare one for your child, please fill out the attached Sack Lunch request and return it to your child’s homebase teacher by Friday, September 23rd.  If we do not receive one from you by that day, we will  know you are providing one for your child.  We also need to get a count of parents that will be attending the fair with us.  Please let your child’s homebase teacher know if you will attend and if you will be staying with us until we leave around 12:45. 

The Mayo staff will be hosting a Literacy Night next Tuesday, September 20th.  Please join us at 6:30 for an evening of fun.  After a read aloud time, you will be able to roam around getting ideas that you can use at home to enhance your child’s literacy skills.  We hope to see you there!

Be sure to read the attached Mayo Newsletter for all kinds of information on activities going on at our awesome school!
