Fifth Grade Newsletter

January 22, 2020

Parents,

     Happy New Year to all of you.  Can you believe we are already half way through the year?  It is crazy how fast time flies.

     We want to remind you of SEP’s coming up in two weeks.  They will be held the first week of February.  Conferences will start that first Monday, February 3 to Friday, February 7.  Please look for you scheduled time to come home with your child today, along with a missing assignment report.  If you can’t make the scheduled time, please indicate a time that would be better for you in one of the blank spots that are available.  You will be registering your child for 6th grade during your conference, so please be thinking, along with your child, whether you want him/her to be in band, orchestra or art next year.  These classes are the only electives you will need to choose from.  Each of our fifth grade classes will be having the councilor from the middle school coming into our rooms to talk with our students this Friday about what to expect for next year.  The band and orchestra classes from the middle school will be coming next week to play for us to get kids excited about joining, so don’t be surprised if your child wants to sign up for band or orchestra next year.

     With Valentine’s Day approaching you should know that each class will be having their own class parties and will have students make their own Valentine catcher at home.  All students will need to make valentines for everyone in their class, if they choose to bring valentines.  A letter will be sent home with a list of names of the students in each class.  The next progress report will be sent home on Wednesday, February 12th.

     For these last couple of quarters we ask that you make sure and check your child’s planner daily.  If students hand work in late, after the 2 week window, it automatically becomes half credit.  This can really bring their overall score down in each subject area, so please check with  your child daily to make sure he/she is staying caught up.

     With the cold weather that we have been having lately, we ask that you make sure your child comes to school dressed appropriately.  A lot of students come to school in shorts and short sleeved shirts with no jacket or coat to put on during break, and there are days that they are required to go outside for a break and they can get really cold.  This of course brings on sickness, which eventually is spread throughout the classroom, so please make your child come dressed in the right attire. 

     We appreciate all your help and support.

                                                                    Sincerely,

                

                                                                    Mrs. Little, Mrs. Sherratt and Mrs. Williams
