End of Year Checklist for Families

As the end of the year approaches, we would like your help in getting our school set up for next year. We are asking all families to do the following -

• Check the Lost and Found
• Consider donating to the the Staff/Bus Driver end of year gift cards.  Funds collected will be split evenly amongst all staff members. It's a quick and easy way to thank your staff for their hard work this year. The deadline for submission has been extended until May 27th. 
• Look around your house for any books that belong to the library, or to classroom teachers. Hint: Library books will have a barcode on them that says "Wales Elementary" and classroom books will have a letter written on the back cover in sharpie. 
• Pick up Health Room Meds - Stop into the health room or make arrangments prior to the end of the year to gather any medication you have left in our health room
• Remind learners that cubbies/lockers must be cleaned out before leaving for the year. Encourage your students to bring home anything in their cubbies they aren't using (snow gear, completed school work, art projects, etc.) 

Lost and Found

Mrs. Everett has reported that there are currently 432 items that are lost and need to be found. We have had a few parents stop in to check these items over, but more are needed. Please stop in and grab the items your student has surely lost.

Blessings In a Backpack

There are many hungry kids throughout our area, and we are trying to make sure that those kids who need the food receive it from our organization. If you wish for your student(s) to participate in the program, you do not need to do anything. 

If you choose to OPT OUT of this program, you can either: sign the form sent home and return it school or fill out this Google Form. 

Dates to Remember:

June 1st - All Explore Field Trip to the Zoo

June 3rd - Family Picnic & 5th Grade Graduation, and 5th graders going to middle school

All Explore Zoo Field Trip - RESCHEDULED

Due to the almost 100% chance of rain on Wednesday, we have rescheduled our trip to the Zoo until next week Wednesday. Everything will remain the same, just the day changes.

We apologize to our chaperones and hope that it is possible for you to make it next week. Chaperones, please let yoru classroom teachers know if you can still make it next week. Letting us know either way if you can or can't make it would be greatly appreciated. 

Again, thank you for your understanding!

Navigators Plant Sale

Our Navigators would love to help you build your yard's foliage! Stop by our plant sale, located in our newly built outdoor classroom, weekdays anytime between 9 and 11am. Head inside to the office first, and the office staff will make sure that you are helped outside. 

Outdoor Classroom Build

Our outdoor classroom build took place last week on Thursday. You can find videos documenting the progress on our Campus facebook page. 

Our Scouts and Pioneer learners worked so hard pulling weeds, putting flower boxes together, and even utilizing power tools to put picnic tables and decking together. The Pioneers worked as a team to dream up this area, and worked extrememly well as a team once again to put it together. We are so proud of them!

This week, Explore will be working with our artist in residence, Ann Roskopf, to create pieces of art for our outdoor classroom. We are so excited to see the completed product!
