THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS!
Friday started off in a panic, with fifteen employees out. Many of these absences were unplanned (life happens) and it looked like it was time for drastic measures. Thankfully, we had an equal number of parents who answered the call (really the Remind text) and dropped everything to come and help. Our staff was so grateful and impressed by your willingness to assist and your positive attitude.
One of our biggest struggles this year has been reacclimating students to the routines and expectations of the school. Many of our students are needing extra assistance in making appropriate choices, especially our youngest friends. Our kindergarten, first and second-grade students haven't had a "normal" school year yet. It is extremely helpful to have additional adults in active areas like the cafeteria and recess playground.
This is a great way to fulfill your volunteer hours.
There are some specific guidelines that are important to follow so that students have consistent expectations. Please click

FRIENDSHIP (VALENTINE'S) DAY GUIDELINES
We are gearing up for Valentine's Day, or Friendship Day as we prefer to call it. We know this can be an exciting time for your kiddos and brainstorming ideas for class valentines can be a lot of fun. Below are some guidelines to help you keep it light and stress-free:
1. We maintain our nutrition policy even on Friendship Day so please do not send candy or sugary sweets because teachers will not disseminate them. Please make sure you don't put your child in this position.
2. There are many awesome and popular ways to make candy-free valentines. Kid favorites include mini-Playdoh, small plastic animals, healthy snacks, stickers, pencils/pens, bubbles and anything craft-like. The most treasured valentines are kind notes with personalized drawings. If you want to knock it out of the park, just check out Pinterest. The opportunities are endless.
3. You can ask your child's teacher for a class roster of names to ensure that everyone receives a valentine from your child. Please be mindful of everyone's feelings and only send in valentines if you've included everyone. There's no pressure to personalize them. You can also just send in enough for everyone in the homeroom class without any names attached.
4. While you may be tempted to send your child a beautiful, extravagant display of your love that includes balloons, teddy bears and heart-shaped boxes, please don't ask the teachers to present this for you at school. We have many children with deployed parents and this just makes it harder. In addition, this is a treasured teaching day for us and, believe it or not, massive displays of affection can be very distracting.
5. "Valentine's Day" can become rather stressful for young adolescents as students often begin that awkward talk about crushes and secret admirers. Preserve your child's childhood and make this day about goodwill and friendship. The teachers will do their best to make sure that all celebrations are at the classroom, not personal level. Please help us by making sure your child is not bringing trinkets for a special friend or group of friends.
6. For many children, working on a craft with a parent is more exciting than giving or receiving the actual valentines. We encourage you to have fun together and don't worry about the final product. This is a great opportunity to grow some fond memories.
