NEWS FROM THE OFFICE……. Hope everyone enjoyed their Winter Break!!  We had a nice short week here at school and it was very uneventful.  Now lets count down the days until Spring Break!  Woo-Hoo!!!  Only 23 more school days!

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES……. Will be next week Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings (February 28, March 1 and 2) here at Georgetown.  Please come and speak with your child’s teacher and see how well things are going or share any concerns that you may have.  DO NOT FORGET  that they will be selling raffle tickets at this time for the classroom baskets also!!

KINDERGARTEN INFO……. Kindergarten Round-Up will be held on Tuesday, March 8 at 7pm. Please feel free to click the following links for the k registration and the health appraisal.

You may download this and fill them out and return them to Georgetown or you may stop in the office starting on Monday, January 24 to pick these up. We DO ask however, that when dropping off the filled out registrations that you bring in the child’s original birth certificate.  If we do not receive the birth certificate along with the registration your kindergarten student will not be added to a classlist until we receive the birth certificate.

5th GRADE NEWS……. We just wanted to inform you of some important information that was passed along from the Middle Schools.  MARCH 24 our 5th grade students get to visit the Middle School for a tour, they will hear music performances from the 6th grade band/choir/orchestra and they will get to have lunch there.  (Most of the students think this is the BEST part!).  APRIL 12 will be instrument fittings for all 5th graders here at Georgetown in the afternoon.  (All students have the opportunity to try out different instruments to see what might work for them).  APRIL 20 (Baldwin Middle) and APRIL 21 (Riley Middle) will be Parent Informational Meetings at the Middle Schools. The meetings are IDENTICAL so you may attend either meeting.
