Armstrong Update 11-10-2016

Greetings Armstrong Parents!

In the words of Adam Sandler from the great film Jack and Jill, "Ready for your gobble gobble day?"

Jog-a-thon- We had so much fun at the Jog-a-thon last Friday and appreciate your support continuing to collect those per lap pledges.  As soon as you have collected all of the money, please send your envelope back to school.  The deadline for returning the money is Monday, November 28th.

SRI- We will be completing SRI scores and will sending reports home soon.

Elementary Parent-School Contract- Last week we sent home the Elementary Parent-School Compact.  If you have not read and discussed this with your child, please do so and return the form with your signatures at the bottom.  Please return this as soon as possible.  Thanks for your help!

Thanksgiving Community Day/ Picture Day- Mayo has a wonderful Thanksgiving tradition.  We love for parents and grandparents to join us for a Thanksgiving lunch the Tuesday before Thanksgiving (November 22nd).  The entire school spends the morning in a "Community Day." We participate in activities with our Mayo family related to being thankful.  To make lunch run smoothly, we must have an RSVP and payment returned for anyone who will be joining us.  Please find that form attached.  (The office has received VERY FEW of these and you need to return this to be able to eat with us that day)  Also attached is the lunch invitation with the time that your child's family will eat lunch.  We will also take family pictures that day, as well as retakes for individual pictures (in uniform).




Middle School Visits- Over the next few weeks the 5th grade will be visited by both Carver and Edison Middle School. Parents are welcome to attend if they have any questions concerning these two schools.
-Carver Middle School will be visiting with the 5th grade class on November 18th at 1:45 p.m.
-Edison Middle School will be visiting with the 5th grade class on November 14th at 8:30 a.m.

Book Orders- We will be sending home Scholastic book orders today. Please have them returned to your student's home base teacher by the end of November

Air and Space Field Study- Our next field study will be on December 9th. If you would like to volunteer as a chaperone please e-mail your student's home base teacher.

FIFTH GRADE:
- November 17th from 6:00-6:30 is a middle school informational meeting at Mayo. There will be a 5th grade meeting immediately afterwards. 
- Thoreau Shadow Day will be Wednesday November 30th. This day is set aside specifically for Mayo students to shadow with a Thoreau 6th grader to see what a day is like. This is a great opportunity to see what Thoreau has to offer and if it is the right fit for you and your child. You must call Thoreau to put your child's name on the schedule for this day. You will need to drop your child off and pick them up from Thoreau on this day as well.
