Writers’ Gallery

     Every week the teachers submit writing pieces for us to showcase.  Each week we pick out five exceptional writing pieces to display.  The students are recognized by having their names said on the morning announcements, they receive a “Golden Pencil” and a McDonald’s certificate, as well as their pictures and writing exemplars are displayed in Writers’ Gallery.  This week’s winners are:  Macie, Maddy, Hayden, Cooper, Adam, Noah, Myles, Odin , and Daphne.

Help Needed!

      We are looking for volunteers for the Reading Carnival on 1/30 from noon until 3 pm. Also, we need volunteers for COSI on Tuesday, February 26^th, the program will be Simply Chemistry.  If you are able to help please call the office at 419-884-1308.

Winter

     A reminder that the students go outside for recess during the winter until the wind chill dips down to twenty degrees.  (If the wind chill is above 10 we will go out at lunch for 15 minutes, then inside for the rest of the recess) During lunch the students are outside for thirty minutes.  Please make sure that your child dresses warm!

Absences

     On your student’s grade card the attendance is still not reported accurately, here is why.  Due to the changing of a state law we are now required to report absences by the hour.  On our grade card, absences are still reported by the day.  If you would like an accurate picture of what we have for your child’s attendance you can check on progress book or call to school and we will run a report for you.  Sorry for the inconvenience.
