Edison Update 3-23-2017

Hello everyone!

We were so glad to see everyone after Spring Break!  We always are amazed at how much bigger/older the kids seem after Spring Break.  

Hold on…the next two months might get bumpy!  As you can see by the calendar below, there is a lot happening in the Edison area and at Mayo in general.  Please try to read and refer to the weekly emails and other correspondence from Mr. Joslin for important dates and reminders. 

You should have received an email from Mr. Joslin earlier this week with an important survey link regarding our partnership school opportunity.  It was included in his letter in the Mayo Times newsletter.  PLEASE TAKE TIME TO TAKE THIS SURVEY by tomorrow, March 24 and let us know what things are important to you as we work on our vision. Here is the link to take the survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdT34RHeIA1-08i-KOaspdXvWxQfJdHjuSezEcfpXeWaW2uHg/viewform

Mayo is excited to host a Family Math Night next Thursday evening, March 30th!  The event will be from 6:30-7:30 in the Mayo Cafeteria and Library.  We will have activities for all elementary ages and ideas/games you can enjoy and then play at home with your child(ren).  We hope to see you there!  A flyer is attached.

**********You will notice in the dates below that the Edisons will be taking the OCCTs April 4, 5, 11, and 12.  These are the mandated state tests.  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, March 31 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!**********
