Hello Rabbit Creek families,
The snow outside has made for great cross country skiing in PE and fun recess times too. It's deep out in our field area and comes up to the waists of some of our fifth and sixth grade students. We are still hoping to add a couple of extra noon supervisors to our team-might you be available? If so, please search for South High Area School Based Temporary positions.
Speaking of the playground, I would like to ask families to help us in talking with students about our school rule of keeping one's hands and feet to ourselves. We are seeing students, many of them boys, who are "just playing" but are pushing, shoving, tackling, throwing one another down and more during recess. As you can imagine, what starts as "just playing" can quickly become a big problem and we do not want anyone to get hurt. We speak of school rules multiple times a week on our announcements, in classrooms and throughout the building. Your help would be an additional reminder and would be appreciated!
As you know, there are not parent teacher conferences this month as we need to use those days to make up for those missed in December due to snow. Although there are not scheduled opportunities to meet with teachers, families are encouraged to reach out to staff to ask questions about student progress. Parent Connect through our Q system is a fabulous way for parents to keep up to date on grades-see https://www.asdk12.org/domain/1697 to sign up or see your child's information.
Have a great pre-Valentines weekend,
Ms Peterson
Upcoming ALICE drill
I will make an announcement to our school letting them know that we will be doing a DRILL to practice staying safe in school. I'll talk about how we do earthquake drills and fire drills as our way of practicing what to do in an emergency and how this drill will be the same. I will speak to them about the necessary actions of locking doors, turning off lights and remaining quiet until there is information that the drill has been completed. I will then make the announcement that our drill is beginning and we will take the time for staff to complete the steps with their classes.
You will find ASD's ALICE flyer below for your viewing. This notification is to allow families a chance to talk with children prior to our drill to increase their ability to feel comfortable. The goal is always practicing what to do in an emergency to enable us to be as prepared as possible. Please reach out to our staff if you have questions.
