4-22-13 Daily Update

Parents,

Last week a letter was sent home asking you for a favor.  We are asking all parents to write a short letter or note encouraging your child to do their best on the Ohio Achievement Assessments (OAA) that they will take next week.  On the morning of the Reading OAA on Monday and Math OAA on Wednesday, students will open this letter before we begin.  It is amazing what a positive impact a small thing like a letter from home has on your child's attitude before beginning.  I always enjoy watching the smiles on the children's faces as they read these.  These can be just a short handwritten or typed note placed in an envelope with your child's name on it.  I would appreciate it if you could have these to me by this Friday, that way I can prepare notes for students who don't receive one.

Art month theme.  The door design award went to Mrs. Ponstler's room.
