Dear Parents/Guardians:

Home Links for this week - 

Grade 3 - None

Grade 4 - Home Link, Home Link Spanish

Grade 5 - Home Link, Home Link Spanish

The End of the Year Celebration is coming up on Friday, May 19th.  Students will have about 90 minutes to go through any and all of the 16 different stations that will be set up.  They include 2 inflatables, face painting, relay type events, sidewalk chalk, ring toss, and more.

One of the Celebration Day stations is shirt signing. We encourage students to WEAR a white/light colored t-shirt to get signed by their classmates.   Please be very clear with your child and your child’s teacher if you DO NOT want your child’s shirt signed in permanent marker.

Our Positive Days Challenge continues as we move through May.  We were just about to hit 900 days when this edition of the Update was written.  We are encouraging students to show their Tiger Pride and earn days for the school as we make our way through our last month of school.  Here are the items students are working toward:

900 – Mystery Prize - Students will be able to sit anywhere at lunch - This should be awarded very early next week.

1,000 – Mr. Beach Sleeps on the roof for a night - I will probably end up on the roof on about May 24th.

Do you have a 5th grader this year?  Here is a link with more information regarding registering for the Middle School - 6th Grade Registration.

 As a principal, I have the opportunity to work through conflicts between students on a daily basis.  Students at this age are learning how to deal with emotions and situations involving conflicts with others.  One of the biggest challenges for our students is responding positively when someone is not kind to you.  Many times a student will say something mean back or become physical with the other student.  We continue to encourage students to tell the other person to stop and report it if the behavior continues.  That way I can work with the other student for their poor choice rather than needing to speak with two students who made less than positive choices.

We are looking for volunteers for our Book Fair, which is April 30, May 1, May 2, May 3.  Use this form to sign up for a time to help - Intermediate Book Fair- volunteer sign-up.

Is it bullying?  We field many reports of situations that have been called bullying.  In most cases they don’t fit the definition of bullying.  While we still want to be aware of these situations and deal with them, we also want to give a clear definition of what bullying is.
