News from Miss Kroening

Grades 1-4

  1. Please see the attached Spelling Unit 1 lists. Each week's Wednesday note will include the upcoming Spelling Unit unless otherwise noted. First grade does not start Spelling tests quite yet. Keep an eye out for that upcoming milestone in future Wednesday Notes.
     
  2. Reminder - all Memory Treasures start next Tuesday. Please refer to your August/September Memory Treasures calendar. I have even posted one outside of our door. Please also note the hymn verse that is attached today. Each week, I will send home the upcoming Friday hymn Memory Treasure recitation as part of the Wednesday note.
     

News from Mr. Monday

Grades 5-8

  1. Welcome to all students and families! I'm looking forward to a great year. Please encourage good communication between you, your child, and me with visits now and again just to talk about how things are going.
     
  2. Remember that all students MUST wear a belt on pants and shorts with belt loops. Shirts must be tucked in. Skorts without loops do not need to have a belt.
     
  3. Spelling will not take place until next week. All other classes will begin and will probably have homework already. Please check and sign your child's assignment notebook every night to help their progress. Remember that a signed notebook allows them their first outside break each day; otherwise they have to sit out.
     
  4. Please ask your child if they have selected their first outside reading book yet. If not, please request that they find one soon so they can start reading during these first few "easier" days of the school year.
     

News for the Whole School

  1. We will soon be sending home a student directory. Families have found this to be a handy tool in the past for their students to be able to contact each other for both homework help and social activities. It will only include home phone number and address. If for some reason you do not wish to have your information included or you wish to have a number other than your home number published, please sign and return the attached form by Monday, August 24th.
     
  2. The pizza and hot dog lunches are back! This Friday will be the first pizza hot lunch occasion followed by the first hot dog lunch next Tuesday. If your child would like to participate, please see the attached form.
     
  3. The treat table is back! In the next few days, the treat table should be up and running. Various snack are available for 25¢ and 50¢ after school. We plan to have it open on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays each week. Thanks to Mr. Mackey who will be manning it!
     
  4. We are collecting Box Tops for Education again this year. Please send these with your child as a way to contribute money to our school as well as work toward a class prize if your child's class has the most Box Tops during the quarter. We appreciate your hard work last year. We hope to top last year's total. Remember that your child will earn a free treat from our treat table for every 25 Box Tops he brings in!
     
  5. There is currently a table in the school hallway with sample St. John's t-shirts and sweatshirts on it. You may order these at any time during the school year, but if you wish to check out the sizing, now would be a good time. Sweatshirts may be worn as part of the school uniform, and t-shirts are worn on special event days (Field Day) and can be worn for phy ed class. Orders should be handed off to Mr. or Mrs. Monday.
     
  6. Please take time to read and keep handy the allergy announcement attached. Keep it in mind especially for birthday treat days. Thank you.
