September 18th-22nd, 2023

• We had a busy week finishing our lessons on Math Topic 7 and starting Topic 2 which is addition. In literacy, we have finished Module 1 Unit 1 and will begin Unit 2 on Monday. In Social Studies, we are working in Unit 1 to learn more about our community. We are getting the hang of our schedules, rules and procedures but students are making friends and getting used to the stamina of our day to day activities.

• Thank you parents for emailing me about transportation changes. Please also contact the office with transportation changes using this form. The office is the BEST way to make sure your child goes home the correct way. I know the beginning of the year can create many unknowns on how all of our own family schedules will work.

• Please remember to have your child pack a snack and water bottle each day they come to school.  We fill our water bottles throughout the day as needed. We have lots of extra snacks now, thank you so much for sending them in!

• FIELD TRIP forms are coming home TODAY! Please try to pay online! I will send out a separate email about chaperones. We will have THREE other field trips this year that MANY of you will be able to attend.

• Please complete your 2023-24 Student Information Form ASAP!

FLY is LIVE!  Go to: https://sharonschoolpta.org/fly/

FLY (Fostering Learning Year-Round) encourages our children to learn through the summer and raises important funds for our school. In the past, our eagles read and practiced math for over 44,000 hours and raised close to $60,000.  All the money stayed at Sharon to help fund programs, equipment, and more!  While our school continues to grow, unfortunately, funding does not. It is vital that we help bridge that gap and help our eagles FLY!!

LET’S DO THIS:

•Submit summer learning hours online at: https://sharonschoolpta.org/fly/ by September 19th to record your child's actual time spent reading and practicing math. Hour submissions after the deadline (9/17/2023) will not be eligible for prizes.

•Submit pledge payments online at: https://sharonschoolpta.org/fly/

An email tax receipt will be generated and sent for payments completed online (please check your spam/junk folder for this email).

LET’S CELEBRATE:

•Thursday, October 5th: We will celebrate everyone’s success with a virtual pep rally and raffle off tons of great prizes! We can’t forget to celebrate the top readers in each grade and members of the 100 hour club!

•The teacher with the highest participation in each grade will win an Amazon gift card -- the students in that class will enjoy a popsicle party!!

Thank you for your support!!

Remember you can email me anytime! Just give me 24 hours to reply. During school hours I try to be attentive to my email, but when I am meeting with students I may not respond right away. Please keep this in mind when sending emails or messages on our ParentSquare app.
