Hello Edison families,
We hope all of you are safe from the scary weather last night!
Tomorrow is the last TPS Early Release Day. Mayo will be dismissed at 1:00. It is also a Mayo Spirit Day. Your child may wear a Mayo t-shirt and regular Mayo uniform bottoms.
If you haven't had a chance to turn in the bright orange paper regarding the upcoming overnight, we included another copy in your Home and Back today. This contains important information about our overnight field study on April 21st and 22nd. We must have this form returned from every Edison by Monday, April 4th in order to make final plans for our trip. As you can imagine, planning a trip of this magnitude requires us to make some strict deadlines. This is one of them. Although we know every Edison will attend, we need to know which parent (if any) will attend so we can plan accordingly. A parent does not have to attend, we know it is hard to take off work and we totally understand. We will have lots of adult chaperones who will help us take very good care of your child. :) A few of you have returned the sheet but did not include payment for the adult that will be attending. Please send that money by the Monday deadline. We have attached a copy of the paper at this link. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9tK7eFBM-uPSjRHT0hKUjB5aXc/edit?usp=docslist_api&filetype=msword
You will notice in the dates below that the Edisons will be taking the OCCTs April 12, 13, 14, and 15. These are the mandated state tests. If your child has an IEP, you will hear from the Special Services teachers about the date your child will test. We have a tradition at Mayo to help put the kids at ease each morning that they test. We ask parents (and other friends and family members) to write four notes (one for each day of testing) that the student gets to read before they test. They LOVE hearing your encouraging words! The notes do not have to be long...just something that will make your child smile and relax. Please put each note in an envelope (or fold them) and label with your child's name and which day to give it to them (day 1, day 2, etc.) If they are not date specific, just put their name on the outside. We need these notes by Friday, April 8th so we have time to organize them in their testing folders. Please keep this a secret from your child...we want them to be surprised!
The 5th graders are having a Garage Sale this Saturday at the school. Please see the attached flyer for details! They are also hosting a school Luau dance on April 8thwhich will be lots of fun! There is a flyer attached for that as well.
