R-PTLE Weekly Family Communication

Dear Families,

March is here and the weather, hopefully, is here to stay! Reading Month packets went home. Let's all make a push to show our learners that reading is the most important thing they will ever learn. It's fun too! Parent-Teacher Conferences are this week. Your student(s) teacher has reached out wit the schedule. Book Fair is happening, as well!

Please Help!

Each week we get closer, this request gets bigger and BIGGER!!!

Kindergarten Round-Up is March 11th! PLEASE, get the word out there so all of those wanting to start KG next year can show up. One of the most important days related to planning for next year is this day. Having the new KG parents in-house getting organized for next year is so critical! Thank you for any help you can offer in getting this word out. Specific information two sections down!

Book Fair going on this week. Kids will be able to purchase books during the day starting on Wednesday! Will be open during P-T Conferences...

Congratulations to our book mark winners!! Each winner will receive $15 to spend at the Book Fair this week and 5 copies of his/her winning Bookmark!

The winning Bookmarks will be on sale for $1 during this week during the Book Fair. The proceeds will go towards “All For Books”, which helps ensure all TLE students can get a book from the Book Fair and Ms. Rachel can purchase new books for the library.

All book marks were amazing and Ms. Rachel will put them on display in the Library!!

March's Monthly Theme is Courage!

What is Courage?

Courage is the ability and strength to face something that may be difficult or challenging. Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather perseverance in the presence of fear and the willingness to stand up for what is right or to try something new even though it may be uncomfortable or uncertain.

The link below will give a full explanation. For this paragraph, this program is basically the parallel of Girls On The Run for our Boys. All 3rd and 4th grade Boys are eligible for this program. All we need are Boys to sign up and two Volunteer Coaches for this program to thrive.

Please see this link for more information.

Registration opens: January 5th and Closes: March 9th 2024
