May Daze!

Parade Practice 

Let's get our kids in rows and walk around a little bit. We won't have props but we will use banners. Is it possible for our fifth grade walkers to join us for a loop or two as well? We'll walk around the parking lot Monday morning at 8:30 so children have a bit of comfort for what this parade entails and we're they'll line up. 

Parade Line Up

Thank you, Danielle! Here is a map upon which we can place children so they are walking near someone they are comfortable with and they can make the best behavior choices. Please fill this out like a seating chart :)

Children can pass off their prop to helpers at the trailer and then wait in the field next to the trailer. Our reunification spot will no longer be the fire station. Please see this map for details to help parents locate our reunification spot.

Water Balloon Battle

Our final PBIS celebration will be Thursday, May 25 at the end of the day! All the incentive is, for whoever turns in tickets to their baskets, they will be entered in the drawing to be a part of the water balloon battle. There will be around 10+ names drawn each week to participate and the whole school will be watching and cheering them on!  

Field Day

Julie Raak has been planning out our field day fun for this year. Please plan to travel with your class from station to station for an afternoon of fun together on Wednesday, May 24 from 12:30-2:45. The rain date (which we won't need) is Tuesday, May 30. 

CA-60 Documents

I'll be overstating this list in too many places but here it is again. Each child's cum needs the following:

_____    Complete cumulative records (Please file with the most recent in front)
   ____  ESS needs to include any special reports such as IEP’s, speech evaluations, etc. 
   ____  Place Spring NWEA Map Reports in the Report Cards folder (these will be printed and given to teachers to file) 
   ____  Place final end of year report card in the Report Cards folder (these will be printed and given to teachers to file) 
   ____  Sign, date, and promote each student
­­­­­_____ Put the Spiritual Development/Reflective Writing in each child’s faith folder (located behind each child’s cum).
_____ Complete the Student Communication Checklist for each student and place into student’s CA file (in front of the medical folder)

End of Year Checklist

Per Danielle's gracious offer at our staff meeting, here is her end of the year checklist. 

Class Lists

So we can be as diligent as reasonably possible, please invite me to your class list placement conversation at your grade level. Our goal is to have each class list completed and approved by Friday, May 19.

Dear Rose Park Families,

We have the opportunity to bless and support area special needs families through a joint project by two local nonprofits: thelucasproject.org and A Kid Again. The Lucas Project was begun by one of our new Rose Park families and Ms. Scott's class will be helping to pack these care packages on June 1. Any gifts, either purchased through the Amazon Wish List or monetary donations given at https://thelucasproject.org  website, will be welcomed and used to encourage caregivers of special needs and their entire family. What a wonderful way to share God's love with others as we end our school year. Please see the attached flyer for additional information.
