Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,
May is here, the days are longer and the weather is getting nicer each day. The boys and girls are enjoying their time outside during lunch. Our Second SDM Festival of the Arts is planned for May 10, 2012 from 4:00-7:00 p.m. (We also have a PTA meeting at 7:00 p.m. so please stay for the meeting.) Each student’s art work will be displayed throughout the school We look forward to sharing the arts with our school family. We still have many other events to look forward to as the year draws to an end. Please check Dates to Remember for other events.
Field Day plans are in the works. Field Day is scheduled for June 13, with a rain date of June 14. All activities planned will take place outdoors. The main entrance will be closed and our greeter will be posted at the back door. The bathroom in the fifth grade hall will be designated for adults and the bathrooms in the fourth grade hall will be designated for the children. In this way, we can monitor who comes in and out of the school so that all parties remain safe and secure. We ask that if you must enter the building, strollers and wagons remain outside. Please be reminded that Field Day is a full day of school and children should not be signed out. A schedule of events is forthcoming so that you may plan your day in advance.
May 15th is the School Budget Vote Day. Please remember to come out and vote. This year the students will be able to be a part of the process as well by exercising their voting power through our Democracy in Action Program. More information with be forthcoming. Voting will take place in the gym this year. Please enter through the main entrance via the south parking lot. You may also park in the north parking lot and enter the school through the gym. Please bring your identification as it will be checked at the door. I thank you in advance for your cooperation in these safety measures. I know that together we can make Field Day and Budget Voting safe for all.
Respectfully yours,
Jeanmarie Wink
Principal
