Goodall Update 3-3-2016


March 3, 2016

Wacky Wednesday was a huge success!  Be sure to ask your child what they’re favorite activity was for the day.  Thank you to all the parents and volunteers who helped to make it a success.

 

Last week, we sent home a permission form from Camp Dakani and a reservation form for the overnight.  These need to be returned ASAP so that we may get an accurate count of people attending.  Only about half of the forms have been returned.  If you did not receive one or lost it, please see your homebase teacher to get another one.  We need these by March 9th so we can place our order for t-shirts and plan our menus for the trip.  

 

Student-led conferences- Student-led conferences are a beloved tradition at Mayo where students get to share what they have been learning. We always strive for 100% participation and we hope everyone can attend. If you won’t be able to come please e-mail your homebase teacher so you can set up a different time to come.

Conferences will be NEXT Monday and Tuesday from 3:15-5:45.  Please don’t come to your child’s area until 3:15 so the teachers have adequate time to set up.  It takes about 30-45 minutes to go through the conferences so please plan appropriately. We hope to see everyone there!

 

Summer School Opportunity:  Tulsa Public Schools offers a summer school program for all students entering grades 1-6.  If you need an application please let your child’s homebaseteacher know.  Your child’s teacher may be contacting you to recommend this program as well.  Completed forms are due by April 29.  

Tomorrow, March 4th is an early release day.  We dismiss at 1:00.  Please make arrangements for your child to get home.

Reminder: Spring Picture payment is due tomorrow, March 4th.

Please check lost and found! We have a multitude of jackets, hats and gloves with no owners.  We have moved all our lost items to the main lost and found area in the cafeteria.

 

 

This Saturday, March 5th is the Mayo Auction!  Your child’s Mayo family has been hard at work creating a project to sell at the auction!  We hope you will come to this fun, adults-only event!  All the proceeds go to provide awesome opportunities for your children...it’s also a lot of fun!

 

Reminder-If you drop off your child in the morning, please do so at the front of the building.  If you would like to walk your child into school, please park in our lot or the church parking lot.  Please do not drop off your child in the Mayo parking lot.  This is a dangerous situation as many parents and teachers are trying to park their cars.  Thank you for following the Mayo procedures.

 

Remember to return your home ‘n backs to the tubs in the cafeteria or the front lobby.  The home and back committee needs them!

 

Celebrations-The Magical Minds will be leading celebrations this week!
