With the start of school right around the corner and most parents having seen their child's class placement sometime since they were posted on Friday, August 17th, there are a few things I want to remind everyone about. On Thursday, August 23rd from 6-8 pm is Student Orientation and PTA Supply kit pick-up. For those of you who are already familiar with our building, this is still an opportunity to locate your child's classroom and to drop off community items like tissues rather than having your child carry them on Monday. Individual items will still need to come in backpacks, but that will be less of a burden if you drop off community items on Thursday.
Once school starts, we have an exciting event already planned for August 30th. In response to many parent comments last year, PTA and I talked about how to make the Ice Cream Social a better experience while still retaining elements of the traditional Meet and Greet. We've expanded the time of this event compared to previous years. On the 30th, we will have our event run from 5-7pm. During this time, there will be a few games for students to enjoy, ice cream for everyone, a chance for old friends to reconnect and new classroom friends to be reinforced. Also, this will be the time when the PTA and I collect surveys and discuss our proposals for the rest of the year. This is a chance to ask questions about those events described in the letter coming home on the first day of school. I believe this will be a great way to start the year while reinforcing the friendships burgeoning in new classrooms. I hope to see everyone there on the 30th.
