NEWS
Time is going so quickly!  We only have seven weeks of school left!  We will be doing lots of important learning during these last weeks of school.  Please continue to make school an important priority.  THANK YOU!  Our Kindergarten Assessments will take place on Friday, May 3rd- Tuesday, May 7th.  DIBELS and Benchmarking for reading levels will also take place the first part of May.

The reading celebration is scheduled for Monday, May 20th.  As a school, we need to read 1,000,000 minutes in order to earn our way to the celebration.  If the students read 1,5000,000 minutes, Mr. Oldroyd has agreed to kiss a pig! Please keep track of the minutes on our own classroom-reading calendar and on the Kite Flight for Reading and Sight calendar.  Remember our goal for kindergarten is a minimum of 15 minutes a night for five nights a week.  (300 minutes a month).  Please continue to read with your child and have him/her read to you.  It makes a huge difference!

Our class will be doing our kindergarten program on Wednesday, May 22nd.  Please mark your calendars now for this important event!  Please have your child wear church clothes for our performances, which will be held at 10:00 AM for morning students, and 12:30 PM for afternoon students.


Mr. Oldroyd is taking teacher requests for next year until April 12th.  The form to fill out is on line.
