Attendance has been down this year. A few viruses have hit our campus. We are doing our best to keep children healthy. Please enforce at home:
- No sharing of drinks
- Washing hands frequently
- Coughing and sneezing into your sleeve
- Staying home if you have fever
Attendance incentives are ice cream for perfect attendance for the 6 weeks, a trip to the movies for perfect attendance for the semester. Students cannot have more than one early pick up or late arrival unless having a doctor’s note.
Please have students in school unless they are ill. If transportation is an issue, please contact the school.
Accelerated Reader-is a reading incentive program. Students read books of their choice on their level and earn points when they take and pass tests. Students earn rewards for earning points. Please encourage your children to bring a book home each night and read. We know that we must practice to improve. In sports and music, practicing is an acceptable thing to do. It is just as important to practice reading. The more a student practices reading the better he/she will be at reading.
Family Engagement Nights are different this year. On the grade level performance night we will have a special family night for just that grade level. We thought this would make it more convenient for families and grade levels could make this night more relevant for families.
Read by Third will be held at Fannin Elementary on Saturday, November 16th beginning at 8:00am. They provide a fantastic breakfast and activities for children to do while parents are in the sessions. Last month we learned about how important oral language development is. Just watching TV with your child and having a discussion is important. We also learned some de-stressing activities as well as how important relationships are. I hope that you will attend this month’s session.
