Parents,
Science Quiz. We weren't able to fully review for the Science Quiz over Plant & Animal Life Cycles this week so I'll be pushing it to next week on Wednesday. Students will be assigned to do this as homework next week, but they can practice ahead of time for the quiz by going to the Moodle link below and completing the practice quiz.

Coats. Please remind your child that a coat will be required to go outside for recess when it is cold as it has been this week.
Here's the e-mail from Mr. Rhodes about this:
The weather is quickly getting colder and we have noticed the past few weeks that we have had many students coming to school unprepared for the cold temperatures. At this time we all felt it was important to review our outdoor clothing expectations for students.-When temperatures are below 50 degrees children should no longer be wearing shorts. They should also have a jacket or sweatshirt of some sort.-When temperatures drop below 40 degrees all students should have a coat. Please note that we will continue to send students outside as long as the wind chills are above 20 degrees.-Once we have snow on the ground, boots will be needed for students to leave the blacktop area of the playground.If you have a need for any winter weather clothing items, please reach out to our counselor, Miss Bailin. She will be happy to assist you. If you have new or gently used winter clothing items you would like to donate to school we are happy to accept them in the office.Children who are not dressed for outside recess could be kept inside for their safety. Parent contact will be made for students who are repeatedly unprepared to go outside.Third and fourth grade teachers may deduct Class Dojo points from students if they are not prepared to go outside. We have talked with all of the children repeatedly about how it is part of being responsible to remember what you need for school.Please know that we are adhering to these expectations because we care about your children and want to keep them safe. Hypothermia and/or frost bite can set in for children as temperatures approach 40 degrees. This varies due to humidity and wind chill. This is also dependent on the length of time spent outside.Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. Again, our only interest is keeping our children safe. Thank you for your understanding and support.
