Mrs. Rachel Metz, Head of Lower School
Happy May and Spring! It feels like the spring weather is really starting to be the majority of our weather recently, however there have still been colder days peppered in - please be sure your child has appropriate coats or fleece so that they can stay warm while they’re at recess and dismissal each day. It is also spring, which typically brings a lot of rain (today was a great example), be sure your child has one or two ponchos in their cubbie for the rainy day dismissals.
Tomorrow is our annual 3rd Grade Wax Museum. The third grade teachers have sent home all of the important information needed. Parent viewing begins at 2:15. At 2:45, parents may sign their child out and dismiss from the gym. All other grade levels will dismiss as usual in the courtyard.
Next week we’ll begin our third and final round of iReady Diagnostics. We’ll begin again with Math on Wednesday and Thursday, the following week we’ll take Reading. The most important preparation is to ensure your child has good night’s sleep, a healthy breakfast and arrives at school on time. We’ll take the diagnostics right after morning announcements each day.
Our 2nd - 5th graders will also showcase their many talents on Monday afternoon in our annual Talent Show. Parents are welcome to join. Plan to enter the gym at 3941 N Bell, the show begins at 1:30.
Have a great Easter weekend!
Mrs. Metz
