February Updates

To assist parents in understanding the upcoming PARCC Assessments, we have scheduled an information night. 


Tuesday, February 3, 2015
6-7pm
SLE Science Lab
We will go over:
  • what the specific assessments include
  • how PARCC differs from previously given OAA tests
  • how tests will be administered
  • what parents can do to help your child prepare 

Please mark your calendar and we hope to see you there. 



The 4th grade will have an optional Valentine's Day card exchange with students in their homerooms on Tuesday, February 10 at the end of the day.  This will not be a party, but a simple card exchange.  If students wish to participate, they should bring cards for classmates in their homeroom class (ready to be passed out) on that day.  

SLE Student Council now has a school supply store open for 3rd and 4th graders on Monday and Wednesday mornings.   The supplies are not quite as plentiful as you see above, but there are pencils, pencil sharpeners, erasers, glue sticks and notebooks for sale.   Supplies are all under $1 -- if you have difficulty getting to the store and your student needs to restock something, this is now an option available to them.

Please remember that we monitor the temperature daily to determine whether or not students will be going outside for recess.  4th grade recess us not until 1:15, so it is possible some days our students will go out when earlier recess times had to be indoor.   Because of these daily changes, please make sure your child is dressed for the weather with heavy coats, hats and gloves.  



Starting in February the E-Club will be kicking off our 2015 NO WASTE LUNCH CAMPAIGN!!!   We're looking for students at lunch who are doing their best to use reusable containers! The less waste, the better!!!  Check out the commercial we created in 2013 to kick off our efforts!
