All Valentine's will be distributed on Friday 2/16 to preserve the maximum amount of instructional time. To ensure all students receive the same party experience our PTA has planned and organized the logistics (snacks, drinks, decorations, and crafts) for the party. NO OUTSIDE SNACKS, TREATS OR ACTIVITIES WILL BE ACCEPTED. PLEASE DO NOT SEND SNACKS OR TREATS TO SCHOOL WITH YOUR STUDENT. If snacks are brought to school for the Friendship Party, they will be sent to the front office for the parent/guardian to pick up after the grade-level Friendship Party.

Students are ONLY allowed to have CLEAR WATER in class.

During snack time, students have a chance to refuel and recharge. We give them a quick 5-minute break to enjoy a healthy snack. Please send your student ONE tasty, nutritious snack to keep their energy up and their minds ready to learn. Nothing that can stain their fingers.

While your child won't be bringing home nightly assignments, we encourage you to continue fostering a love for learning at home. Spend quality time with your child engaging in activities that promote academic growth, curiosity, and creativity.

Here are some suggestions for valuable at-home activities that can enhance your child's skills:

📚 Read Together: Explore the wonders of literature by reading books together. Reading is a fantastic way to expand vocabulary and imagination, whether it's a bedtime story or an afternoon adventure.

🧮 Math Enrichment: Utilize the EnVision workbook to practice math problems at home. This will reinforce the day's lessons and allow your child to master key mathematical concepts.

📝 Assignment Catch-Up or Ahead: If your child is particularly enthusiastic about a certain subject, feel free to explore related topics or assignments from class. Likewise, use this time to catch up on incomplete tasks and ensure a solid understanding of the material.

Remember, the goal is to create a positive and engaging learning experience for your child. Encourage them to spend at least 15-30 minutes daily on these activities, tailoring the time to suit your family's schedule.
