Dear Northern Oaks Lower School Families,
We hope that you enjoyed the Art Show last Friday! Thank you to those who attended, for supporting the school and your children. A special thank you to Ms. Hibler (Art K-3) and Mrs. Welch (Art 3-6) for hosting the evening and supporting the students in art this year. It is incredible to walk down the halls and see the progression of skill that occurs each year. I would also like to thank Mrs. Balmer and all the students who shared their musical talents in the library throughout the evening. Our faculty also want to thank those parents who donated to or helped provide the all-faculty lunch on Friday. Your generosity continues to help us feel loved and supported. Thank you! We were glad to see so many guests attend, including extended family and friends!
Speaking of extended family, we look forward to inviting grandparents to school this week for a glimpse into life at school and time with their grandchild! Grandparents Day will take place for grades 2 & 3 on Tuesday the 25th ; for grades K & 1 on Wednesday the 27th; and for grades 4-6th on Thursday the 28th. For more information, you can see last week’s release here. Other than Grandparents Day, we look forward to a relatively quiet four-day week on campus. Please note that we have a long weekend this weekend March 29th to April 1st, that Friday, April 5th, will be a full day, and then we have Battle of Flowers off on April 26th.
We continue to prepare for the April 8th Solar Eclipse. If you have yet to do so, please sign the eclipse viewing permission slip here. The deadline for permission slips to be completed is April 3. Students who do not have a permission slip completed will receive an alternative assignment.
Our next big family event is on Saturday, April 13th for Fiestaval. Thank you to PSO and the parent volunteers who have helped put this wonderful community event together! You can find more information on Fiestaval on the PSO Website. We are looking forward to an exciting event! We will then set our sights on preparing for the May 3rd Spring Concert.
Earlier this month we sent information about the STAAR test dates to our 3-6 families, please click here if you missed the email. We will have restricted access to visitors on the testing days. We ask that you do your best to reschedule appointments on these dates so that we can limit the number of make-up tests that we have to provide.
Sincerely,
