Chorus Update

 Information from Mrs. Sherby

CONCERT      Tuesday Dec. 7th

5:30 PM -- Chorus members report to the music room through door A-1 (closest to the music room).  I will open the door at 5:30 pm.

5:50 PM -- parents may enter the building (main entrance) and go to cafeteria

6:00 PM -- concert begins (approx. 30 minutes)

Dress for this concert -- Dress up and look really nice!!!  If you have already purchased the black/white Chorus uniform, you may wear that -- OR --  you can dress up in your holiday finest outfit.    Let's look festive!!!!!

Wear a Santa hat, too!

The 4th Grade Chorus is the only group performing at this concert -- we have 29 Chorus members.  This means the audience will be a much smaller audience and there will be plenty of seating.   Parents need to wait to enter the building until 5:50 PM because Kings Kids will still be using the cafeteria.

MASKS -- performers need to have a mask on for the performance (unless you have a school mask exemption) and masks are strongly encouraged for audience members.

 Art to Remember is here! Be looking in your child’s take-home folder in the next few days for information. Directions - go to arttoremember.com and type in your child’s online order code located on the informational sheet. Please order by November 12.

You can order a keepsake created from your child’s artwork. You can also upload additional artworks that your student has previously created at home or in art class.

October!

As the leaves change and hopefully the temperatures start to cool, we are coming to the end of the 1st quarter of fourth grade.  A few updates to note:

Parent Teacher Conferences: Please look for sign up emails from your child's homeroom teacher.  Conferences are scheduled for Oct. 14, 19, 21

Meet the Candidates Night: There are three seats on the Kings Local School Board that will be on the November ballot.  If interested, Kings Education Association is hosting a Meet the Candidates Night on Tuesday, October 5 at Kings High School Auditorium from 6-8:30pm.  

DARE: Your child may have told you that 4th grade was visited by te DARE officer on Friday.  This is a scaled-down, 4th grade appropriate version of the DARE program that will run through the end of October on Friday afternoons.  We are thankful to be able to bring this program back to in-person presentation this year and students are excited to see the k-9 unit that will attend the final meeting.

Fall Break - No School Friday, October 15 - Monday, October 18.  Enjoy a 4 day weekend!! 

Thank you for keeping your child at home when they present COVID symptoms. If your child is out due to any illness, please contact your child's teacher as we will post assignments to Google Classroom so that your child does not fall behind while they are out. 

Welcome!

Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year!  We are excited to learn together this year.  Please check back here for updates on events in both 4th grade and at SLE.  Go Knights!

January 2021 - Welcome Back!

We wanted to thank everyone for all their hard work last week. We had great attendance and participation from the students during this week of online learning, however we are excited to have our students physically back in the classrooms next week. Below are some reminders as you prepare your child to return to SLE this coming week....

Health and Safety

Please continue to monitor your child's health daily and we appreciate when you err on the side of caution and keep your child home if they are presenting with possible COVID symptoms.  If someone in your home has tested positive or is waiting test results, please also keep your child home and contact the school office.  We will be in touch and provide learning activities for students at home.

Remember that your child must wear a clean mask to school each day and we suggest keeping a spare in their backpack.  We do have extra masks here at school, both cloth and disposable masks, if a student should need one. 

Work From This Week

All assignments from this past week are due on Monday, January 11.  Please have your child put his/her name on assignments before putting them in their backpack. This will make turning in work Monday morning a little easier!

Report Cards

Again this quarter, report cards are being sent home electronically.  Report cards are currently available on Progress Book.  If you are unsure of how to retrieve your child's report card, contact either us or the school office and we can walk you through the process. 

Snacks and Recess

Students may have a water bottle at their desks (plastic - no glass bottles) and we eat a healthy snack daily around 10am due to our late lunch.  Snacks need to be peanut-free and something that can be eaten in about 10 minutes.  (We do set a timer for snack time to minimize unmasked time)  We also go outside for recess as long as the temperature is 32 degrees or above.  Students should come dressed appropriately with hats, coats, etc.  If you are in need of a coat for your child please let us know.

School Supplies

Now is a great time to check your child's school supply stash.  Before break we noticed many students no longer have scissors, colored pencils and glue sticks.  Please try to replenish these supplies this weekend. Also, if your child took their earbuds/headphones home for break, please return those as they are used in class daily. 

MAP Testing

We will be conducting our school wide winter MAP Testing over the next two weeks.  

Clements/Westly Test Dates

Reading MAP Test: Wednesday, January 13th

Math MAP Test: Wednesday, January 20th

Tucker/Burdine/Caskey Test Dates:

Reading MAP Test: Thursday, January 14th

Math MAP Test: Thursday, January 21st

Tests will begin first thing in the morning, so we ask that students are on time to school those days.  If your child is absent on a test day he/she will make it up when they return.  

School Breakfast and Lunch

Reminder that breakfast and lunch are served daily and free of charge to all students.  If your child does not have time to eat breakfast in the morning they may get it here as school as soon as they check-in in the classroom.  This is a great program and we encourage you to check it out.
