Dear Boulevard Families,
Thank you to everyone who came out in support of our final PTO Meeting of the school year on Wednesday evening and our All-School Art Show & Ice Cream Social on Thursday evening! These events help strengthen the fabric of our school and community, and they would not be possible without the hard work of some very dedicated individuals. To that end, I would like to thank the many faithful parents who served on Boulevard’s PTO Council this year, led by our fabulous Co-PTO Presidents Nicol Coxon and Tracy Peebles. They worked tirelessly both in front of and behind the scenes to make the 2017-2018 school year a smashing success! I also wish to thank our incredibly talented art teachers Julie Ely and Anna Jo Gosses for their gargantuan efforts in transforming Boulevard’s hallways into a beautiful art gallery for Thursday’s All-School Art Show! It was a treat to see the students’ stunning artwork on display for all to see and appreciate.
As you prepare for the week ahead, please mark your calendars for the Grade 4 IB Exhibition scheduled for Thursday, May 24
th
. Beginning at 6:30 p.m., Exhibition marks the culmination of learning for our fourth-grade students, a true celebration of their educational attainment thus far. Whether they have been here since kindergarten or a shorter amount of time, the fourth graders have been working incredibly hard in preparation for this important evening, and they look forward to sharing their learning with many friends and family.
As unlikely as it seems, I will soon begin preparing class lists for the fall. In order to plan appropriately, I would appreciate your assistance with two related items. First, if you would like to provide me with input about your child’s learning style and other related factors, please consider completing an
optional
Class Placement Form, which is now available on the Boulevard page of Shaker’s website at
www.shaker.org
. You may return the completed form to your child’s classroom teacher or directly to the office on or before Friday, May 25, 2018. This will allow me ample time to review your comments prior to making next year’s class placements. Second, if you have plans for your child to attend another K-4 school in Shaker or if you have plans to move to another school district next fall, please take a moment to complete the End-of-the-Year Information Form that recently went home via backpacks and return it to your child’s classroom teacher at your earliest convenience. If you need another copy, please contact the office or your child’s teacher.
Thank you in advance for your assistance with this important information!
Sincerely,
Neal S. Robinson

It is a great way to showcase and share students' creativity, art knowledge, and developing art skills! If you missed the letter that went home with directions for signing up online, please email your student's art teacher and we will send it to you! Ms. Gosses can be emailed at
