Welcome Back! We hope everyone had a restful spring break. There are only eight weeks of school left and we still have so much to do! Please remind your child that procedures still need to be followed at school.
Math Night-Please join us for an exciting community night at Mayo on Thursday, March 30th. There will be lots of math activities to help with math concepts for your child. We hope you will join us! See attached flyer for more information.
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
The Goodall program is approaching quickly. This year’s title is “Wonders of the Earth” and it will be held in the Wilson Auditorium on Tuesday, April 4th at 6:30. We will be sending speaking parts home soon. Please practice the lines with your child to help them memorize their part. Copy and paste the link below so that your child can practice the songs. We are looking forward to seeing everyone that evening!
No Spelling test tomorrow for Roots or Shoots.
Please remember to follow drop off procedures in the morning. If you are dropping off your child, you must park your car in the lot and walk them in or let them out in the front of the building (this is the drop off zone). We have seen several parents letting students out in the parking lot and in the bus zone. This is very dangerous. Following our procedures helps your child understand why they are important. Procedures keep us safe!! Thank you!
