Dear Parents,

 

The year is quickly coming to an end and we have some very exciting things coming up! The students have been busy planning outings, working on big projects and putting beautiful work into their portfolios. We are very excited to share all of this with you!

 

Important upcoming dates:

 

Field DayThursday, June 1st-1-2:30pm - This event will be led by our Adolescent students and is for the kids only.  However, they will be spending extended time outside on this day, send children with sunscreen, tennis shoes and a hat if needed.

 

Parent work share- Friday, June 2nd - 2-3pm – This is a day for your children to share some of their favorite works with you. This is an open house event and we hope to see you there. This event is scheduled the same day as the Lower Elementary work share for your convenience. 

 

 

 

Como Pool Day - Wednesday, June 7th - All of Elementary will spend the day at the pool.  We have many staff and a full set of volunteers coming along.  Please look for the permission slip sent home, sign and return by May 26th.  You can find all the details on the permission slip sent home.  This is a much anticipated event and great fun! 

 

 

Last Day of School and Community Social - HALF DAY on Friday, June 9th. Students will be dismissed at 12:00pm.  Look for details to come in the GRS Announcements about the end of year ceremony and social.

 

 

 

 Reminders:

 

Remember that with the weather warming up we are trying to be outside as much as possible, please help your child remember to bring a water bottle and be prepared for sporadic spring rain!

 

We are looking for families to take care of our sweet gerbils for the summer and our very quiet and adorable goldfish.  Please let us know if you are interested in providing them a fantastic summer adventure in your home.

 

Many thanks,

 

Amanda and Jean

UEW Update

Hello UEW Parents,


Spring has sprung and the classroom is filled with energy and work.  So many projects are going on!! Students are learning about the systems of the human body and the follow up work is amazing!!!  We have life size drawings, charts and models made out of clay, and even a magic bone wand! We have also been writing poetry and learning about US history.


Please make sure your child has a water bottle to keep at school.  With the weather warming up we will be spending more time outside and walking to different places. If anyone has a pet stroller we would love to be able to take our bunny on these walks with us. He also loves the rain……


Please check in with your child about homework, we have had a decline in homework turned in on time.  It is handed out on Wednesday and is due the following Tuesday.


Enjoy the beautiful weather!
