MIDDLE SCHOOL BAND INSTRUMENTS - It can be a challenge for the students to get their instruments, back packs, computers, etc. from their lockers to the bus, then off the bus again to head to band. We are now asking that instruments be dropped at the Elementary School prior to band class. The easiset way for this to occur will be during the student's PE class. They will just grab their instrument as they go out the door and onto the bus to PE (without all the backpacks/computers/etc.). Mrs. Gaston is aware of this change and will support the kids now bringing instruments over with this transition.
SUCCESS THROUGH CHESS FOR K-6th - The next round begins Thursday 11/19. Unlike many "chess" programs that merely teach the basics, this comprehensive instructional program is scaffolded with beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. The goals of this program are to instruct in principles that will help the student improve in chess, as well as develop life skills that will aid the student in academics, sports, arts, and future success. All the while, a fun an exciting environment will be maintained. Sign-up thorugh the Elementary School office.
CHRISTMAS CONCERT IS COMING! - Be sure to mark your calendars for this year's Christmas Concert! December 15th @ 6:30pm in the Crossroad's Sanctuary. You won't want to miss what the ECE and Elementary Choirs and the Elementary and Middle School bands have prepared for you!
HELP...ELEMENTARY LOST AND FOUND IS OVERFLOWING!! Parents, PLEASE come check the lost and found rack to see if any of the items belong to your student. Our first donation date is not until after conferences; however, the rack literally fell over this morning because it is so full of "no longer lost" items! We would also ask that you please mark your student's name in their clothing, especially coats, which get left on the playground daily. Thank you!
DOES YOUR STUDENT NEED HELP WITH MATH? We've got a solution for you! Mr. Smith, our Middle School math teacher is offering after school tutoring. Please contact him for available dates/times.
