This is not a drop-off event, so bring the whole family for some pizza and some socializing! I know of a few teachers who will be joining us - who will they be?!
Sincerely,
Lucas Hiley, Ed.D.

News from Ivan Green
Kindergarten Reading Intervention
Each of our kindergarten classrooms has a reading teacher assigned to it. In the first few months of school, we use our reading teachers to reinforce initial kindergarten learning in small groups. These groups may change each day or each week. Once we get to know our learners better (November), we will notify individual families if their child continues to work directly with one of our reading teachers. Please let us know if you have any questions about your child's reading progress.
Coffee with the Principal
Our next Coffee with the Principal is with Mrs. Swartz, our AVID coordinator. She will provide an overview of AVID Elementary, which is a framework for our school to find success for all students.
From the Kitchen
The kitchen will start selling snacks every Friday. Ice cream cones or ice cream on a stick is $1.00. Dixie cups ice cream is $0.75. cookies are $0.75 each and chips are $1.00.
If your child receives free lunch, you can still add money for snacks. The money will only be used for the "extras."
The Book Fair is Coming!
Socktober Theme Days and Sock Collection
We are teaming up with the other EICSD elementary schools and celebrating Socktober! This is a time for us to participate in some sock-focused theme days and sock collection. We will donate our socks to the Irondequoit Community Cupboard.
