R-PTLE Weekly Family Communication
Week of February 26th, 2024 (#25)
We blink and March starts Friday!
Dear Families,
There is a very cool month being planned ahead of us for March is Reading Month. It is a fun way to inject reading interests and to spark a love for reading. Clearly, reading is a huge part of the work schools engage in. The work we do at school is important. The work you do at home to engage your student in a love for reading is easily so much more important! When a child learns that reading is a part of normal living at home, they learn that reading is important. Our kids seeing us read at home is huge. Enjoying reading together is bigger! Look out for cool opportunities to engage in March is Reading Month.
STILL A HUGE REQUEST:
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!
1/2 Day Friday, NOON DISMISSAL.
