I would like to thank the many parents who came out to Back to School Night this past week. BTSN is a great way for us to establish clear communication within our school, our PTA, our Foundation, and our classrooms. I loved walking around and seeing so many parents signing up to participate in our school. Whether you are a room parent, an art docent, or are pitching in to help with the auction, your efforts are greatly appreciated!
It looks like this week, we might get a break from the heat. Just in case, I thought I would tell you how we handle the super hot days. We can usually head outside for morning recess. Even on the hottest days, the mornings are still comfortable. When it gets too hot, our PE classes shift to the MPR, where it is air conditioned. During lunch, we treat it like a rainy day recess. Students are in the MPR, eating and socializing for 30 minutes and then they return to their classrooms for some indoor play time. We always encourage the kids to drink lots of water so thanks for sending those water bottles with their NAMES on them.
Right now, our teachers are working hard to establish routines, build community, and get to know the kids. Please try to have the students here on time, so we can do this important foundational work together.
Here’s to a great week of learning together!
