Need A Laugh Anybody?

I've been trying this one out on people all day! 😂 You're welcome! 

Tulip Time Week

Some calendars that were sent out prior to Tulip Time making their parade decision state otherwise, but here's the truth of the matter: We have a full day of school on Wednesday, May 10. Thursday is a half day for the parade. If the parade is cancelled due to rain, the whole thing is just kaput. No make up parades on Friday. 

We're Flipping Out!

Thursday, May 11, our half day for Tulip Time is a FLIPPED day. Please note that early elementary students have encore on Thursday, May 11. And then, if I haven't lost you yet, Friday, May 12 is a Thursday schedule. Sometimes this feels like we're at the funny farm rather than the Rose Park Ranch! 

Faith Statements

As you begin to have your faith statements completed, please tuck them away in each child's cum file in the office. 

Chapel Rearrangement

We have a few scheduling changes regarding chapel times to note for your May calendar. Even though Wednesday, May 10 is a full day, we are postponing chapel to the following week. No chapel on May 10. Rather, on May 17 we will have convocation at the high school in the morning. AND! You are invited to a chapel put on by Mrs. Winningham from 2:30-3:00 on Wednesday afternoon of the 17th! These details are reflected in our schedule

Staff Meeting

Our May staff meeting will take place on Wednesday, May 3 after school. 

Quarter 4 Running Records

  • Running Record Expectations ** see THIS DOCUMENT

    • The level that you are putting into the Q4 data spreadsheet is a student’s INDEPENDENT LEVEL and this is the same running record that you will hand in to me which will then be passed along to next year’s teacher.

    • If you have been putting INSTRUCTIONAL LEVELS on your progress reports to parents, you can just continue that for the last report card–the reason for this is that if you have not communicated to your parents the difference between the instructional and independent level, then just putting the independent level could make them panic as it will most likely be lower than the instructional level.  We will also review this next year as well and discuss what we want to report on our progress reports in terms of students and their reading progress.

MAP Testing

The final week of MAP testing and Delta Math opens the week of May 8.

From Our Parent Board

Teacher Appreciation week is upon us and that means time to thank our teachers!! Parent Board is planning on Donuts on Monday May 8, hosting a teachers lunch for them on Wednesday May 10, hydrating them on Thursday for parade day and blessing them with Bigby coffee on Friday. Tuesday we are leaving it up to the students to shower their teachers with cards and love and a small gift if they chose! 

if there is anything you can grab or wouldn't mind picking up that would be so helpful!! 

Please have all the Lunch items to school by Wednesday morning, cold things can go in the fridge in the staff lounge (just label it:) ) You parents are amazing! 

Items to consider here.
