I hope you all had an enjoyable winter break.  I am happy to be back!  I wanted to make you aware of some important upcoming dates in January.

Report cards will be coming home in about two weeks.  I will be gathering data for report cards this week and next week.  If you could please limit any unnecessary absences during this time it would be greatly appreciated.

Please mark your calendars for the following:

No School-Friday, January 15th (End of Term, Teacher Work/Training Day)

Field Trip to Discovery Gateway-Wednesday, January 27th

It is hard to believe that we are already hitting the halfway mark in the school year!  Thank you for all you do to help out in the classroom.  You all make a huge difference.  

Parents,

In the past, I have just randomly given food assignments for the Friendship Feast.  This year I thought I'd have you just choose what you would like to bring.  Below I have provided links to the sign-ups for the feast.  Thank you all so much for your help with this.  It is always a highlight for the kids.
​
Thanks,
Mrs. Mills

The feast will be held on Tuesday, November 24th.

Homework will go home today and should be returned on Thursday.
 
Thanks,

​All kindergarten students will attend school on Monday, October 5th from 11:55 to 2:55.  Don't forget to have your child bring a sack lunch or snack on Monday, October 1st.  We will have a picnic after we get back from the field trip.

I sent home homework folders today.  Homework is due next Friday, October 9th.  I figured it would be too tricky to send them Monday.

Volunteers, thank you for your quick responses!


So, this is who I have so far:

A.M.-Tammy Adams, Tara Plowigan, Sky Bennett, meeting us there-Heidi Decker and Kim Walker

P.M.- Karleen Nesbitt, Steph Strasser, Suzanne Hendrix, Aubrey Wallace, meeting us there-Jessica Sorensen and April Quinn

If you are meeting us there with younger children, I am pretty sure you will need to pay whatever entrance fee is required.  I am not sure where to have you meet us, but my guess would be the main entrance.

You are awesome!  Thanks for your help.

Mrs. Mills

Parents,
I have provided a link below for the Online Scheduler for SEP (parent/teacher conference) sign-ups.  I will leave it open until Wednesday, September 23rd.  If you have not signed up by that date, I will randomly assign you to a time slot.  The evening appointments usually go fast, so if you work during the day, or have other commitments, I would sign up now.  I look forward to meeting with all of you!

Thanks,
Mrs. Mills

If you did not get a chance to attend Back to School Morning at Rosecrest, I have provided the Power Point file that I used for the presentation.  If you have any questions please let me know.  I am excited to kick off the school year with our kindergarten picnic that will be held at Tanner Park on Tuesday, August 25th at 11:00.  Bring a sack lunch and meet new friends!  The first day of kindergarten is Wednesday, August 26th.

Zoo Field Trip Reminder

Parents,


Don’t forget, all kindergarten students will attend school from 8:15 to 11:15 A.M. tomorrow, Wednesday, May 20th.  We will be taking a bus to Hogle Zoo.  The zoo does not open until 9:00 A.M. so we will be leaving around 8:40 A.M.  The forecast looks good for tomorrow, but if you notice a change, please have your child dress accordingly.  We will be going rain or shine!

If you would like to attend the zoo with us, please meet at the zoo at 9:00 A.M. sharp. Unless you are signed up to be in charge of a group, you will need to pay your own entrance fee.  Those who are volunteering to take a group, please drop by the school at 8:15 A.M. to get your group list.  We have limited seating on the bus, so all parents will need to meet us there.  We will be using the south entrance (on Wasatch Dr.) which is different from the main entrance.  Please see the attached map for details. 

Thanks,

Mrs. Mills

Parents,

Remember that we will have kindergarten end-of-year testing the first week of June.  Please visit the Online Scheduler and sign up for a testing appointment.  The appointment will last about 30 minutes.  The password is "rosecrest."
