Dear Parents,
Thank you to Mr. Grigsby who coached our Relay for Life Basketball team; the kids did a great job! Our Chaperones for the Bats field trip are the following: Miranda’s grandfather, Parker’s mother, Crissa’s father, Adam’s mother, and Josh’s mom.
CATS testing is May 11-22. Bullitt County has decided to continue with this type of testing for our accountability. Meaning it is of the same importance to our county as always, and does determine future events for your child at this time.
I will not be sending mid-term reports home this quarter as it is the same thing you see when you go to infinite Campus; if you do not have computer access I will put the grades (as of now) in your child’s planner, just send me a note informing me of the need. We will be doing DRA tests throughout this week during our Language Arts block.
We are out of Kleenex and Paper Towel; if you can afford to donate some boxes to our room it would be greatly appreciated. We go through about 2 boxes per week so we’ll need about 16 boxes to get through the year.
Dates to remember: weekly until the end of the year - Multiplication Challenge w/Mr. Tipton (FireBear), 5/11-5/22 CATS Testing, 5/19 All Library Books returned to school, 5/25 Memorial Holiday, 5/26 ESMS Band Concert during school day, 5/27 Bats Field Trip, 5/28 Arts Fair, 6/1 Field Day, 6/3 Last Day for Students.
