Principal's Message

Hello Families,

And we are off...we had a busy and exciting first day of school! Tomorrow gets even better as our 4K friends will join us!

In just the first few hours I saw many great things happening:

5K listening to a read aloud
1st graders learning about number corner
2nd graders in Art, Music, Gym, and STEM
3rd graders doing a welcome activity
4th graders learning about the Wildcat Way

It is going to be another great year, welcome back!

Paws Up,

Mr. Schreiber

Wildcat Wake Up!

Having your child go home a different way?

Please be clear with your classroom teacher about how your child will come and go from school each day. Should there be a change in routine, we ask you to write a handwritten note notifying us of the change. Please know that if the teacher does not have a note, your son or daughter will follow their normal end-of-school routine. In the event that plans change during the day, please call the office (560-8006) rather than e-mail the teacher. An e-mail may not be read until after school or there might be a substitute in the room without access to the teacher’s e-mail. Thank you!

Celebrating birthdays at school

As we moved into our new building several years ago, it gave us an opportunity to reflect on how we approached certain things. Due to the growing number of health concerns for our students, we are continuing to ask families to not send in food items to celebrate a child’s birthday or star student. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

Because birthdays are meant to be fun, we will celebrate a child’s birthday in many special ways which do not include food. For example:

We will continue to announce each child’s name during the morning announcements and ask them to come to the office for a birthday pencil.
A special birthday slide in the commons.
Each class will continue to do unique things in the classroom. Some examples include:

giving the student a birthday crown or special pin to wear for the day
displaying a birthday sign or poster
singing “Happy Birthday” to the child
writing or sharing compliments to the birthday child
giving the birthday child special privileges in the classroom like lining up first, sitting in a special chair, or choosing the Morning Meeting game the class will play.

If you are planning a party at home and wish to invite class members, please phone the invitations or mail them directly to the home rather than handing them out at school. Finally, please do not send balloon bouquets or flowers to children at school. If balloons or flowers are sent, they will be kept in the office and given to the child at the end of the day.

We appreciate your support!

Thank you,

Mr. Schreiber
