All School Outing to Camp Plymouth
Tuesday, June 15
The annual school wide outing to Camp Plymouth is scheduled for Tuesday, June 15with a rain date of Wednesday, June 16. This is a fun filled day where the students, staff AND parents enjoy a community time together. Parents planning to attend this event should have already signed up. The cost for all students is paid for, however, parents and guests will have to pay their own entrance fee to the park. A cook out with hot dogs and hamburgers will be available for all. Plan to join us. This Tuesday will be a full day, even if the weather is inclement and we are not able to go on the school wide outing to Camp Plymouth.
Sixth Grade Graduation
Sixth Grade graduation will be held on Wednesday, June 16 at 6:30 PM on the Proctorsville Green, weather permitting. If the weather is inclement, then graduation will be held in the multipurpose room of the school at the same time.
Last Day of School/Move Up Day
The Awards/Move Up Day Program at the school will start at 10 a.m. on Thursday, June 17. Parents and guests are all welcome to this final assembly. If parents come to the event, children may leave with them after it is over, otherwise Early Dismissal will be at 12:30 p.m.
Read over the Summer!!
The students and teachers have worked very hard throughout the year to improve skills in all academic areas. Unfortunately, children regress in skills when they do not have academic stimulation. There are a few things that can be done over the summer that would really be beneficial to your children.
ncourage your children to READ. While there are fabulous books in the library, which Kata, the Librarian would be happy to help children select, children can also read other things at home. Encourage children to read magazines, comic books, newspapers or if you are traveling - menus, travel brochures, road maps and road signs. What they read is less important than the fact that they are reading, so make it fun and enjoyable.
I would be remiss if I did not also encourage you to engage your children in math reinforcement. Look for opportunities over the summer to show your children how to apply mathematics to their every day life. If you could spend time reinforcing math facts or playing mathematical games, that would only make adjustment to school in the fall easier. Play games with your children where they have to count or add.
The children have worked hard to develop skills throughout the year. Time spent reading or doing math related activities over the summer would reinforce these skills and lessen any regression over the summer. If you need some ideas, please feel free to ask your child’s teacher.
Opening of School
While I know everyone is looking forward to the end of the school year, preparations are already underway for the opening of school in the fall. The calendar for next year has been set. School will open for the children on Tuesday, August 31. As the first day of school is a Tuesday, it will be a half-day.
Thanks to All
As we come to the end of the school year, I wish to thank the parents, family members and community members who have collaborated with the staff to provide the children with such wonderful experiences this year. As I reflect over all we accomplished this year, I am in awe, and know all of it could not have been done without your support. I hope everyone can relax this summer and have fun with the children over the next couple of months. We all look forward to seeing you again in the fall!
