Permission Forms for Field Trip due FRIDAY, 4/19

Just a reminder that the pink permission forms are due by Friday for the GA Capital Museum/Varsity field trip on May 10.  We have to order the lunch vouchers so we need payment of $12 and the forms back so that we can be ready for The Varsity.  Students who do not turn this in by Friday will not be able to purchase a lunch from The Varsity.  Students who would like to bring a lunch from home will just need to pay $4 for the trip.  Please let me know ASAP if your child needs another permission form.

 

Georgia Capital Museum Field Trip and The Varsity

Field trip information went home yesterday.  Please return all forms and money by Friday, 4/19 so that we can order the lunch vouchers from The Varsity.  We will need lots of parent chaperones.  Please let us know if you can attend.  

Testing Notes and Snacks

Milestones Testing begins on Tuesday.  We know that our students are going to ROCK the test!  Just a reminder to send in 5 notes for us to pass out to your child each day that we test (please send in on Monday).  The notes can be short with a quote or a little message or a letter (your choice).  We love seeing the students open up the notes each morning.  They seem to relax and feel comforted knowing that they are loved and supported.  

The testing schedule is :

Tuesday (4/16), Wednesday (4/17), and Thursday (4/18)- English/ Language Arts (Reading and Writing)

Wednesday (4/24) and Thursday (4/25)- Math

 

The sign-up for snacks looks great!  Here is the link in case you need it again.  Thank you all for your help and support!
