Hello Edison Parents:
Today’s letter is jammed packed with lots of information that is very important, please read all the way through.
First and foremost, thank you for all the support amidst the news of budget cuts coming to TPS next year. Educators would love if you could please fill out the survey released by TPS. It is due by 6p.m. tonight. While taking this survey please aware of a couple of things: 1. When it mentions class sizes going up 1 or 2 students, it means changing the ratio of students per teacher. Last year this caused the Armstrong area to go from 6 certified teachers to 4 certified teachers. This changed our classes from 20 students to 30 students. 2. We have attached a flow-chart of administration roles in TPS, this is just for you to be aware of the positions that are at our Education Service Center. Remember, your opinion really does matter. https://www.tulsaschools.org/1_Administration/_documents/pdf/OrganizationalChart.pdf
Mayo is excited to host a Family Math Night TONIGHT, 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 TOMORROW, 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!**********
REMINDER!!!! DUE TOMORROW!!!! We have received very few notes and your students really appreciate reading your encouraging words!!
Also, we will be sending home your student’s Report of Student Progress today! Please look for it in their backpacks. It is very important that you see these. If you have any questions, please contact your student’s homebase teacher.
Continue to hold on tight…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.
