DRAGON DELIVERY February 18, 2019
From Principal Christy Waddell
PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCE: Do you have your appointment? If not, get that done. The conferences are the week after this week.
DRESS WARMLY: This week is supposed to be very cold. We do not go outside unless it is above 22 degrees. Please send your students with appropriate clothes to stay warm outside. We are hoping we can go outside for recess.
INSIDE RECESS HELP: If we have an inside recess we could really use some help supervising the students inside their classrooms. I like to give the teachers their full lunch break so they will feel ready for the last couple of hours of school. If you notice the feels like temperature is under 23 I would love it if you could just drop in and help anytime between 11:45 and 1:00. Each class gets about 20 minutes of recess time. You do not need to call ahead of time, just drop in. You do have to be on the district volunteer list. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!
IMPORTANT DATES:
Wednesday February 20: 5thgrade Field Trip to the U.
Thursday February 21: ARTS INC Assembly
Friday February 22: Early out day
Monday February 25: 3pm SCC meeting
Wednesday & Thursday February 27 & 28: Parent Teacher Conferences

From Principal Christy Waddell
TOYS & ELECTRONICS: Please make sure your children leave these things at home. We have had several things go missing recently and the teachers just do not have the time to try and keep track of the items students bring from home. Pokémon cards seem to be an especially big problem in the younger grades. We appreciate your support with this.
DRESS FOR WINTER: Whenever possible, your children will be going outside for recess. It is very important they bring/wear clothes that will help them stay warm and dry while playing outside. If there is a puddle the kids will find it and jump in it.
TEACHER OF THE YEAR: Nominations are now open for Teacher of the Year. Please fill out an application to nominate a teacher that has made a difference in your student’s life.
SPEECH: 2nd Grade will be having a Speech Screening on Wednesday, January 16, 2019. All students will be seen in small groups (except those already receiving speech-language services). If there are concerns, the Speech-Language Pathologist will follow up with you. If you have any questions or do NOT want your student to be included in this screening, please contact Emily Christofferson (SLP) at .
