News You Can Use: October 7, 2021
Dear CCGS Families,
It was another great week at CCGS for students! This week while visiting classrooms I saw how our early childhood students have learned one another's names, adjusted to the routines, and enjoyed their center time together. Our K-3 students enjoyed visiting the book fair and now many of our students have more books to read at home! We also saw our students working on their Dreambox lessons and have our first names for our leaderboard!
The following students had the top number of lessons complete on Dreambox in the month of September. Congratulations! The expectation is for our students to get at least 5 Dreambox lessons per week. These students far surpassed that goal this month!
K: Henry B., Connor W., Analisa M., Elisya V., and Jackson M.
1st grade: Liam J., John M., Anthony L., Teagen W., Samuel W., Elias B., Kainen K., and Scarlett S.
2nd: Jayse H., Ryan A., Liam L., Sarah C., Colin G.
3rd: Josiah R., Zuri G., Ben S., Maizy S., Jack S
Also, congratulations to Jack B who was the winner of the Drone from our PTO School Store fundraiser.
Each week I will be including a google form to gain feedback from you! Please take some time to complete this!
-
Health Reminders: As always, please continue to complete the health screener daily. Any student that is a bus rider who has not completed the survey by 7:40 is brought to door 1 for a quick screening at the door. This will eliminate one more stop for your children.
-
New Walker Door (K-3 p.m only): Starting Monday October 4, 2021 at the end of the school day walkers will be picked up at door #2 (to the left of the main entrance). You will continue to need your red sign. Thank you and please contact the main office with any questions.
-
Car Rider Reminders: Please have your red or green name showing for pick up time. K-3 parents, please make a right turn only into the rear lot at the end of the day. We have had police presence to provide more feedback on traffic flow. One thing they have mentioned is coming closer to 3:20 so we do not have cars blocking the road for so long. Dismissal begins at 3:20 for all car riders.
-
Recess Zones: Beginning this next week, we will no longer be using recess zones. This pivot is due to county information received on COVID cases and current levels for youth. Teachers will still be sanitizing all equipment after each group uses it. We are excited to bring some normalcy back to recess time!
-
Picture Day: Picture day is October 14th! Your child will be bringing home the information for picture day next week, but I have included it below for you as well!
-
Library News: We are so excited to announce our first author visit of the year! Author & illustrator Maddie Frost will be visiting our kindergarten through third grade students via Zoom on Friday, October 22nd! We kicked off this exciting news with lots of fun in the library, and we will continue to celebrate Maddie's books until our virtual event! If you'd like to join in on the fun, you can order an autographed copy of one of Maddie's books or even enter our jellyfish competition! (The padlet can be accessed at the following link: https://padlet.com/sjmchugh/hqak1mkbmedy) All book orders are due by October 5th, and the contest ends on October 20th. Thank you for teaming up with us to promote the love of books in your home! -Your elementary librarians-
-
Red Ribbon Week- Please see the red ribbon week flyer below for the last week of October. We will also be having a reverse Halloween parade on Friday, October 29th where families will drive through and see their student and others in costume in the rear of the school. More information will be coming soon on that!
-
Volunteers- We are looking for volunteers for at home and at school. If interested please email acurran@y115.org with your availability and we will be in touch!
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Hamm
