Elementary News:
As we approach the holidays, we want to remind families of our school celebration approach in our Elementary Handbook on page 16. Although we do not celebrate with goodies/treats, we strongly encourage students/families to send in pictures of their celebrations and traditions to share with the class. We also want to remind all families to review and sign the Elementary Handbook. When you have finished, please sign the back page and return to your child's teacher, or complete our online consent agreement.
Just a reminder that on Wednesday December 8th, Elementary will have parent-teacher conferences from 1:00-3:30 PM. Only ECC and Elementary students will have an early dismissal (12 PM). This year, we are providing the option of an in-person meeting or a Zoom meeting. Childcare will be provided only for our MPS students if you opt for an in-person meeting during your scheduled conference time. Your child’s following teacher has reached out to you about conference times. If you have not yet set up a time, we strongly encourage you to do so.
Elementary’s fourth/fifth grade class (May-lin and Jennifer) have a story and photos to share about their experience meeting Walden School’s therapy dog, Dougie:
“On November 17, the 4th and 5th Grade students in May-lin and Jennifer’s Language Arts classes met a therapy dog at Walden School (WS). We petted the therapy dog. We took pictures of us with the dog. We questioned Kasey, WS staff about her dog, Dougie. We asked what Dougie’s favorite hobbies are. We followed and chased Dougie. We learned about what therapy dogs do to help people. We thought that our visit to meet Dougie was interesting and fun.”
