Our Week Ahead 3/2/09

We are kicking off the first week of March with a short but very important week.  Parent/Teacher conferences will be held on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday – late afternoon and evenings.  We look forward to meeting with you and sharing the growth your child has made since the beginning of the school year.  If you cannot remember your schedule time, please contact your child’s teacher.

While you are at PT Conferences, please check out the amazing baskets for our basket raffle.  These baskets have become an annual PTC fundraiser.  The money earned from these baskets go toward funding PT family activities, materials for our library, and instructional materials for the classroom.

  • Mon 3/2 Day 2:  P/T Conferences 5-8 pm; JET’s PIZZA NIGHT-Pizza for the family while you are at conferences!
  • Tues 3/3  Day 3:  Music Therapy:  ECSE, CI in MPR 1:30-3:00 pm; P/T Conferences 4-7 pm
  • Wed  3/4  Day 1:  P/T Conferences 4-7 pm
  • Thurs 3/5:  NO SCHOOL.  Teachers will be participating in professional development training.
  • Fri  3/6:  NO SCHOOL.  WINTER BREAK DAY!

Weekly Events

While writing this week’s staff update, I shared that I am caught between two feelings right now: Celebrating the fact that it is the last week of February due to this never ending winter, and someone who enjoys life and doesn’t want to wish it away! Nonetheless, March begins in just 6 days…and the spring equinox occurs on March 20!

Keep in mind that parent/teacher conferences are scheduled for March 2,3 and 4. This time for you to meet with your child’s teacher is important for many reasons–and the most important is to support your child growing as a learner and a person and to continue building the relationship between parents/teacher.   Each  conference is limited to 15 minutes, which is not optimal, we realize.  If you feel that you need more time, please arrange to follow up at a later date soon after the conference date.

Here’s to a great week ahead!

  • Mon 2/23 Day 3:  HAPPY MONDAY
  • Tues 2/24 Day 1: Music Therapy:  ECSE, CI in MPR 1:30-3:00 pm; Ciao Bella’s Night Ends!
