3rd Grade Concert on December 18
|
The 3rd grade concert, My Marvelous Magical Sleigh, will be Tuesday, December 18th at 7:00 p.m. in the High School Auditorium. Please have your student to his/her designated classroom indicated below NO LATER THAN 6:40 p.m. Anticipate limited parking.
Mr. Fleischer Room 123
Miss Lehman Room 123
Mrs. Petruzzi Room 125
Miss Gallagher
Room 125
Mrs. Keitlen Band Room
Mrs. Chapman Band Room
If your student has a special part where a costume is required, please dress your student in the costume at home and have your student ready to go once he/she arrives at the high school (I will be sending elf, reindeer and Santa costumes home the week before the concert). If your child does not have a special part that requires a costume, the dress code is dress pants, dress shirts, dresses, skirts, and dress shoes. NO JEANS ARE PERMITTED.
Once the concert is over, PLEASE DO NOT remove your student from the auditorium or the hallway. Please wait in the auditorium until he/she is back inside of the classroom.
Please remember that this concert is a large part of your student's second quarter grade, as it corresponds with the Ohio Third Grade Music Standards.
|
All children will go out for recess as long as the wind chill temperature is above 20 degrees. The fresh air and freedom of movement is an excellent way to give students the needed break from the classroom and prepares them for a productive afternoon of learning.
So please make sure your child has a warm coat, hat, gloves and boots if appropriate!
Thank you for your cooperation!

With winter weather upon us, families should prepare for winter school closing notifications. In order to receive these announcements quickly, it is important for families to have correct contact information in their students' PowerSchool accounts. This will allow the District's automated messaging system to quickly reach you--via phone, email, and text--with emergency weather information.

Log in to your
PowerSchool account and Under
"Alerting" click on "
SwiftReach SwiftK12" in the top left corner.
On the screen that opens, click on
"Contact Information" to make sure your phone numbers and email address is correct. Then check your
"Alert Preferences" to make sure each category is checked for what you wish to receive under "General Information."
Weather-related closures are sent under the "General Information" category.
Social Media & Website
Families can follow the Fairview Park City Schools on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to receive instant weather notifications.

Family and Community Engagement Corner
|
By Ms. Carrie Sullivan
Family and Community Engagement (FACE) Coordinator
As the holiday season is approaching, I just wanted to reflect on a few things to bring joy to your family.
1) If there is one thing that students, parents and teachers learned from watching the
Angst documentary...
Talk to your kids! Let them know you are there for them! Please, if you need any resources,
click here.
2) The link below is the eulogy that George W. Bush gave regarding his father along with an article that helps remind us that...
In the eulogy, George W didn't mention once that his parents made sure he had organic food his whole life, or had Pinterest worthy birthday parties, or the perfect monogrammed matching outfits with his siblings. He didn't mention that his parents made sure their week was planned with playdates and millions of extracurricular activities. He reflected over and over again about how much his dad loved and was dedicated to his mother.
I worry that we get so caught up in the minor things that we forget the major thing.... which is teaching our kids what unconditional love and loyalty looks like.
Please take a few minutes to listen to his speech and read the article. Have a great week!
