Weekly Newsletter 
The Week of August 11th




It was fantastic to see so many smiling faces returning to school last week! We would like to welcome all of our new students and parents into our community. We are looking forward to getting to know you all! 

Media Center Checkout
Students will check books out of the Media Center on Thursday afternoons. Please make sure that your child brings their library books to school on that day, so they can return their books and borrow new ones with the rest of the class. 

Explorations
Our students will attend all of their exploration classes on Thursday. Your child should wear tennis shoes every Thursday, in order to participate in all PE activities.

Homework
We ask that your child read nightly for a least 20 minutes. Login information for three websites was sent home on Friday. Please have your student use Xtra Math to practice their math facts daily. Also, we suggest that your child use Khan Mappers and Moby Max for extra math and language practice.

Field Trips
Field trip forms were sent home on Friday. These forms are for all of the field trips we will attend as a community. We will also attend 2 Musical Explorer field trips and Field Day, with other classes, but we do not have the specifics on those dates yet. Please fill out the forms and return them to school with $15 to cover all of the field trips for the year. If you are unable to turn in the $15, please send us an email and we can make other payment arrangements. Thank you!

Code of Conduct
The SCCPSS Code of Conduct was sent home with students on Friday. The signature page was attached to the front. Please review the book with your child and return the attached page signed by both of you on Monday.
