This week we have many fun activities as we wind down toward the holiday.
Please take a moment to think about out DES families in need and make a contribution to our Christmas baskets. We will be taking donations until Friday morning.
The Winter Concert is taking place on Thursday starting at 1 pm. This year, we are asking for a donation of non-perishable food items as an 'entrance fee' and we hope to be able to prepare Christmas baskets for growing number of families in need this holiday season.
Friday students will have a pizza lunch, and they are invited to come to school in their pj's. They should bring a snack for the morning recess.
Over the holiday, grade six students will be allowed to have their ipads at home. They should take some time to clean up videos and photos, and they can use Reflex Math and RAZ Kids to maintain their skills over the break. When they come back, they should have no more than 3 apps they choose on their device.
Over the break, please remember that ipad use needs to be supervised by a parent. Students should remember the rules for use, the code of conduct they signed, as well as class discussions about what we should and should not do online. Please don't hesitate to take the iPad away or place limits on its use if you feel your child is using it inappropriately or too often.
Please let me take this opportunity to wish you and yours a wonderful holiday season, and may 2015 bring your family heath and happiness!
Warm wishes,
Kathy Napier
