Bagel Fundraiser to Benefit Haiti

Beginning next Monday, March 21, and for two weeks following, kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades will be selling bagels at snack time in the cubby room. We have plain, cinnamon raisin and blueberry bagels, with or without cream cheese, available for $2.00 each. This is a fundraiser for Partners In Health, and all the money we raise will go toward relief in Haiti.

Dear Parents of Students in Grades Pre-K - 5th

Late in March, you will receive a Progress Assessment letter from your child's homeroom teacher. This letter is intended to be a component of an ongoing dialogue and record of your child's approach to learning and academic development.

This is an opportunity for the homeroom teacher to highlight your child's individual strengths and to address any issues that may be pertinent to his or her transition to the next grade level. The Progress Assessment letter is a component of our conference and narrative report schedule for grades pre-k through five.

 

It is our hope that it will add continuity to parent and teacher communication.

 

Yours in conscious partnership,

Ken, Libby, Tracy, Eve, Linda, Darcy, and Charlie
