Hello Johnny Appleseed Families,
December is here! How is this possible! Please be sure to send your child to school with a coat, hat, and gloves/mittens. The kids go outside as much as the weather permits. December is always such a busy month. With just 3 weeks until another break, teachers are planning thoughtful lessons and activities to keep students engaged and focused.
*** This Wednesday, we have an early release day. Dismissal is at 11:30AM. Please plan accordingly.
Food Drive Results: Ms. Edmonds - Grade 4 Winning Class - pizza party on the way!
Attendance - Attendance letters have been sent as a reminder to parents that missing just 5 - 6 days at this point in the school year is at the chronic level (10%) for absenteeism. The letters serve as a reminder of where your child(ren) may be in terms of attendance. Only families that are at chronic absenteeism levels (at this point in the school year) receive these letters. Additionally, tardies interfere with learning, so it is essential to arrive at school on time. It is important to note that this is also the time of year when students and staff experience colds and flus. In these moments, staying home may be necessary. Please monitor your child(ren) for these symptoms and reach out if you have questions or concerns.
