*ICE CREAM NIGHT AT JACK THE DIPPER - SEPTEMBER 12*

Come grab a warm waffle cone and support the Hazelwood Elementary School PTO at Jack the Dipper!

10% of all sales at the Waynesville Jack the Dipper location on Monday, September 12 will be donated to our PTO fund to support our teachers and staff throughout the school year.

Our Teachers have been digging deep with word attack skills and comprehension skills during quality interactive read alouds. As you walk across the campus throughout the instructional day, interactive read alouds are used in cross curricular settings. From teaching new core vocabulary in the Library to a Science concept in Third Grade, teachers plan and prepare interactive read alouds using Depths of Knowledge questions and Tiered Vocabulary. Whether Kindergarten is introducing name recognition or important social-emotional skills, the read alouds used provide skill sets for years to come.

• We completed safety walks throughout the school this week with local Law Enforcement to ensure our current safety plan is implemented and working well.
• Thank you for remaining in the car line to help keep students safe during morning drop-off.
  
• Thank you for working together to watch out for our Pre-K families as they crossed the car line last week.
• We received valuable information from the Wildlife Commission last week and have developed a plan to inform students of wildlife safety.

Please encourage your student to remember they have the opportunity to earn positive behavior stickers in the following ways:

Paws

Stars

• Anyone with Perfect Attendance for an entire 9 -week period earns a star for their class.

Bones

• When the Principal or Assistant Principal catches a class with excellent behavior or performance, they may give the class a bone to add to their sticker count.

At the end of each 9-week period, the class with the most stickers will be rewarded with a special surprise!
