The Week of February 1

 Weekly Newsletter

We are so sorry that there was no newsletter last week. While I was out of town, I thought the district had only blocked access to Blogger temporarily, but it turned out the site was completely blocked. I submitted an IT request, and thankfully I’m now able to access and update our newsletter again. Thank you for your patience, and I’m hopeful that the access will remain consistent moving forward!

Winter Weather

In preparation for possible weather related school closures, we sent home choice boards for our 1st and 2nd year students and Chromebooks for our 3rd year students. We are hopeful that we will be back in school on Monday, however, if we are unable to return, please keep an eye out for an email from the teachers with work expectations and next steps. Thank you for your support and stay safe!

Conferences begin this week, and we are looking forward to meeting with each of you! Please check your email for the conference sign‑up links sent by the teachers. If you haven’t had a chance to sign up yet, please do so soon. Thank you!

School Closed January 19 – Martin Luther King Jr. Day

On Monday, January 19th, our school will be closed in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This day gives us a special opportunity to reflect on Dr. King’s legacy of kindness, courage, and the belief that every person deserves fairness and respect.

In class, we have been learning about the ways Dr. King worked to make our country a better place by using peaceful actions and powerful words. We encourage families to take a moment together on this day to celebrate the values Dr. King stood for and look forward to welcoming students back Tuesday!

Musical Explorers Concert

We will be headed out to the Musical Explorers field trip on Friday. A free program, Musical Explorers builds basic music skills as students learn songs from different cultures and reflect on their own communities. In-person concerts allow students to “meet” the professional musicians that have guided them on their musical journeys through the Georgia Lowcountry and beyond!

MAP Testing - This Week

Middle of the year MAP Testing is scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday of this week. MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) is a computer-based test that helps teachers understand how your child is growing academically in reading and math. It’s not a pass-or-fail test—it’s designed to show what your child knows and what they’re ready to learn next.

MAP Testing Schedule:

Wednesday- Math

Thursday- Reading

Angel Tree

Our classroom community has chosen an angel to support, and we are collecting monetary donations to make their holiday season special. We will still be collecting donations this Monday! We encourage students to donate their own money, as it adds a personal touch and teaches the value of giving.

Thank you for helping us spread joy and kindness this holiday season!
