May, 2008 Final Day of School is Near! For those of you who may not have heard, Tuesday, June 10, is the last day for the 2007-2008 school year.
Even though it is the last day, it is a very important day. We will be having
our fourth quarter awards assembly that day for grades 1-4, and we will be
distributing report cards. I want to thank you, the parents, for all of your hard work
with your children. Together we can continue to have high expectations for
our children both academically and in their behavior. I hope that our staff
will always be known for its family atmosphere, where every teacher is
interested in the success of each child as if they are their own. Bob Chase
is the President of the National Education Association. He writes about what
parents can and should do to provide meaningful learning time during the
lengthy summer vacation. We hope that all parents will continue to find time
to continue the learning process with their children this summer. Have a safe and happy summer! -Greg Miller, Principal WANT TO BE A CSI
INVESTIGATOR?????? In celebration of National Hearing and
Speech Month, students will be practicing Communication Skills, Inc. (CSI). Students
will learn about and practice the 10 valued social skills. Students will get
special WHOO CARES for using these skills, which are: Listening to others,
following steps, following rules, ignoring distractions, asking for help,
taking turns while talking, getting along with others, staying calm with
others, being responsible for your behavior, and doing nice things for
others. We want to thank Mrs. Currall, Speech/Language Pathologist,
for her help in presenting CSI to our school. We hope that parents can also
reinforce and practice these important skills at home with their children. READING
